New Ford Models

The Fiesta is Ford's new subcompact car, intended to compete with models like the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris. The 2011 Fiesta sedan and four-door hatchback are Americanized versions of Europe's second-best-selling car, the current generation of which has been sold since 2008. 

Ford launches its first hybrid passenger car with the 2010 Fusion Hybrid. Available in spring 2009, the Fusion Hybrid, along with its Mercury Milan Hybrid sibling, promises to be one of the most fuel-efficient midsize sedans on sale in the U.S.  

Ford's "One Ford" strategy — which refers to the company's plan to leverage its global product lineup to spread models across new markets — is responsible for bringing the Transit Connect stateside. It's a small commercial van Ford introduced in Europe and other markets in 2003. Maximum cargo space is reportedly 135 cubic feet, close to that of larger minivans. Ford says it made a few styling tweaks to suit the U.S. market, but the Transit Connect's 2.0-liter four-cylinder — the sort of engine you'd find in a compact car — speaks more to Europe's fuel prices than to America's penchant for horsepower. 

Ford used the previous Fusion to usher in its new three-bar grille, which has been a hit with buyers. The new Fusion has an even bolder chrome grille, as if announcing to the world, "Yes, bigger is better." The "better" part comes in the slew of improvements Ford has made to its new midsize sedan, from more-powerful and efficient engines to a quieter cabin. 

When it was last redesigned, for the 2005 model year, Ford's Mustang muscle car took on a retro look with styling cues that were reminiscent of Mustangs of the '60s. For 2010, Ford has updated many elements of its pony car, which is available in coupe and convertible forms.
