Maybe you've been thinking about leasing or buying a Ford Fusion when the new 2013 model appears this fall, or perhaps you're even thinking about trading in your current Fusion for the more fuel efficient 2013 model. In either case, Ford has great news for you. The American auto brand has announced it will offer an automatic stop/start option for next year's model, at a price of only $295.

If you've been dying to get your hands on the new 2013 Ford Focus Electric, you're somewhat in luck. Though the new EV isn't yet available in the greater New Orleans, LA, it will be soon, as Ford has announced that 67 select dealerships in New Jersey, California, and New York will receive vehicles this spring. These markets make up a large percentage of electric vehicle sales in the United States, and they will be test markets for the vehicle. The best news?  The new Ford Focus Electric will be dispersed nationwide later this year.
