Winner of the 2012 Gene Ritvo Award for Design and Elegance, the elegant Ford Fusion will be available to Columbus drivers at Bob Chapman Ford in Marysville.

Columbus, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/05/2012 -- Bob Chapman Ford is pleased to announce to Columbus drivers the upcoming availability of the award-winning 2013 Ford Fusion at their Marysville, Ohio dealership. The Ford Fusion has earned the Gene Ritvo Award for Design and Elegance. The award was presented by the New England Motor Press Association in conjunction with Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and the Larz Anderson Auto Museum.

The Gene Ritvo Award honors elegance in design within the automotive industry; from the style of a marketing campaign to exceptional concept cars. As an entry for the Design and Elegance award, the sleek silhouette of the 2013 Ford Fusion stood out to Meghan Melvin of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. "…we appreciated the simplicity of line of the Fusion's detailing, the subtle shaping of the hood and the distinctive front composition of the vehicle."

Chris Hamilton, chief designer of the Ford Fusion accepted the award. "It is an honor to accept this award on behalf of the team behind the all-new Ford Fusion. The 2013 Fusion has a revolutionary design that puts an accent on elegance: It has a sophisticated feel and a sleek profile setting it apart from traditional midsize sedans."

Five key elements made up the exterior design of the new Ford Fusion. A sleek profile to avoid a boxy look, sweeping lines to hint at agility, subtle exterior elements, gleaming technology like refined LED tail lamps, and the overall design concept that midsized cars are evolving into a new stylish era.
