LA 2008: 2010 Ford Fusion Officially Unveiled

Ford has officially unveiled the redesigned 2010 Ford Fusion at the LA Auto Show.

For 2010 the Fusion gets all-new styling inside and out (looks much better). In addition there are now three available gas engines and a new hybrid Fusion. The available gas engines range are the 2.5L 4-cylinder (175hp), 3.0L V6 (240hp) and a new 3.5L V6 (263hp) in the Fusion Sport. All three of the engines are mated to six-speed transmissions.

Inside there are new features such as Ford's SYNC system, SIRIUS TravelLink, and BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert.

The redesigned 2010 Fusion will be available in the spring of 2009.

2011 Chevy Cruze Interior Unveiled Hours Before Official Paris Debut

GM is going to officially debut the new Chevy Cruze at the Paris Motor Show tomorrow, but GM has released official photos a little early.

We've already seen photos of the Chevy Cruze compact that will hit our shores in 2010, but this is the first time that we are seeing official photos of the interior of the car. The overall interior design is aligned with GM's new design theme and draws cues from the Malibu. It looks far better than the current Cobalt interior!

The Cruze is going to launch in Europe first next spring, but we will not see it until the spring of 2010 as a 2011 model.
