It is not only unique in terms of design but also brings along five different powertrains, improved telematics and materials to give an experience that has no match. image – 2013 Ford Fusion/Ford Mondeo According to Christopher Hamilton, Fusion designer, the premium-ness of the car is reflected by jewel-like grille, squinting projector headlights, wrap around LED taillights, profile character lines and sweeping roofline.

But all these strategies could not make up for the damage brought by the disaster that struck Thailand.
