Ford Fusion, Lexus LF-LC win Eyes on Design awards

Every year at the Detroit Auto Show, the Eyes on Design awards honors the best designs among production vehicles and concepts debuting that year. Unlike, say, the North American International Car and Truck of the Year awards, the only vehicles eligible for an Eyes on Design award are the ones that introduce themselves to the world – well, really just North America – in Detroit.

What’s particularly interesting is that the judges for these two awards (one for production vehicles and the other for concepts) are all active or retired designers themselves, so they know a little something about the topic. This year’s group includes, among others, Volkswagen head of design Walter de Silva, President and CEO of SRT Ralph Gilles, and GM Vice President of Global Design Ed Welburn.

This year, the Eyes on Design awards were handed out to the 2013 Ford Fusion in the production category and the Lexus LF-LC in the concept category. The Fusion’s fellow finalists were the 2013 BMW 3 Series and 2013 Cadillac ATS, while the LF-LC eked out a W over the Chevrolet Tru 140S and Lincoln MKZ.

AUTOWEEK.COM EDITOR DALE JEWETT: This car is the and#8220;stealthand#8221; hybrid. Other than the badges on the sides and on the trunk, most people would not be able to tell the hybrid Fusion apart from its conventional-powertrain counterpart.

2011 Ford Fusion Sport, an AW Drivers Log:

Rocky — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 05:21:03 +0000

EDITOR WES RAYNAL: This is a nice enough midsize sedan, but loaded up as this one is makes the sticker get a little higher than I’d like. Horsepower is up with the Sport model (do I have to get the rear spoiler if I get the Sport?).
