Samantha Hoyt, Ford Fusion's marketing manager, said of the totally redesigned 2013 model that the automaker was hoping to make the car a showcase for owners. She said Ford wanted to give owners "great fuel economy, lots of choice, great design and style, but also the typical Ford dependable reliability, all in a stylish package.” Ford is mum so far on whether it will make a 350 hp performance version under the SHO moniker that Taurus uses. Hoyt said the subject piques the interest of many, including herself. Notably, she adds that the “platform offers a great opportunity to do just that.”
