Online, May 15, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Don Chalmers Ford continues to anticipate the arrival of the 2013 Ford Fusion, which was recently recognized by the New England Motor Press Association, along with Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and the Larz Anderson Auto Museum, for its excellent design, earning it the 2012 Gene Ritvo Award for Design and Elegance.

Named after the late Gene Ritvo, a former New England Motor Press Association member and photographer, the Ritvo award recognizes elegance in design in the automotive industry. The award is open to concept and production vehicles alike, as well as design focused marketing campaigns.

The 2013 Ford Fusion, which made its debut in January at the 2012 North American International Auto show, is the second recipient of the Gene Ritvo Award. The new Fusion is expected to appear in showrooms some time late this summer or early fall.

In addition to its simple yet stylish exterior design, the 2013 Fusion will also feature numerous innovations that will redefine driver expectations in the midsize sedan segment. These innovations include Ford's Lane-Keeping System, Driver Alert System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Park Assist, Blind Spot Indicator System, and more.
