2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

  • 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid, test drive, Catskill Mountains, NY, Mar 2013

    The news yesterday was simple: Ford has lowered the gas-mileage and efficiency ratings for six of its 2013 and 2014 models. Three are hybrids from Ford and Lincoln, two are Ford plug-in hybrids, and the last is the 2014 Ford Fiesta, newly updated, which has revised ratings for four different engine and transmission combinations.
