The Ford Fusion. Just read about it earlier, apparently they were excited about the many choices you get within the Fusion lineup. I didn't read what the other 15 cars were that they didn't choose but I think there had to be something more impressive. Though it isn't such a surprise considering they feel the Mustang is the best muscle car out there so maybe they found their BMW of America to ride the nuts of from here on out.

Clearly it was chosen for political reasons since they didn't take the bailout money.

While not what I would have chosen, it's a nice vehicle for what it is.

Honestly, I ve driven them all and they are correct, for now the Mustang is the best Muscle car out there, simple pulley and tune(muscle cars are made to be modded) tires and some suspension work produce C6 Z06 1/4 times, go to the track and see for yourself. Those cars light can be monsters at a stoplight.
