It’s rare to see a hint of Maserati or a dash of Aston Martin in a family sedan.

The reason is simple: Automakers need to sell mid-size sedans by the truckload — about 1,000 a day. To please that many people at once, the design needs to avoid offending buyers even more than it needs to entice them.

So it’s refreshing to see Ford’s 2013 Fusion, a good and good-looking car in a segment where form follows way behind function.

The 2013 Fusion is the second generation of the family sedan from Ford, but it doesn’t share a freckle with its predecessor. The new silhouette is inspired by the wave of four-door coupes from European luxury brands. Think Audi’s A7 or Mercedes-Benz’s CLS.
