From Ford.com:

The Ford Atlas Concept, a bold vision for the future of pickups, has been named Autoweek Magazine’s Most Significant vehicle of the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).
 
“The Atlas Concept is clearly Most Significant winner for the things you don’t see, like hidden aerodynamic improvements and weight savings from high-strength steel and interior parts, like thinner seats,” said Bob Gritzinger, Autoweek executive editor. “Those things add up to significant fuel savings for pickup trucks down the road. A next-generation EcoBoost® with Auto Start-Stop technology also signals why Atlas is a real game changer.”
 
The Ford Atlas Concept made its worldwide debut at NAIAS on Tuesday, Jan. 15. A design and engineering study inspired by decades of listening to customers in the places where they work and play, the concept has tomorrow’s pickup buyers in mind.
 
Breakthrough features include active aerodynamic elements in the grille, front air dam and wheels that reduce wind resistance to save gas. Truck-specific features that improve capability, durability and productivity include a Dual-Purpose Tailgate Step that integrates with a roof cradle to become a rack for long objects like ladders, Hidden Cargo Ramps to load ATVs and motorcycles, Trailer Backup Assist to enable accurate reversing with a trailer via the simple twist of a knob, and more.

Ford Fusion Named Car of the Year by AOL Autos

The 2013 Ford Fusion has been named the 2012 AOL Autos Car of the Year:

And our number-one new car of the year is the 2013 Ford Fusion--boldly redesigned to not only riase the bar from the original Fusion, but to meet the stalwarts of the category--Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima--pound for pound and dollar for value for performance, value and quality. The Fusion is spacious, well-powered and more fuel efficient than some of its competitors. If the Fusion wasn't a top-tier contender in the sedan market before, it is now.
