Buy your Union of 76 latte, wipe the steel bench clear of the morning dew, and sit mindlessly as documented and undocumented workers wash the International Carwash Association’s Most Washable Car for 2006, the Ford Fusion. That’s right, The International Carwash Association named the Ford Fusion as the Most Washable Car 2006 at the Car Care World Expo 2006, March 13-15, Las Vegas, Nev. The annual award acknowledges the vehicle that car wash operators consider the most wash-friendly car of the year. This comes as unusually precious news as Ford Motor Company performs damage control to repackage their vehicle line and generate some element of excitement beyond Mustang GT.
Of the numerous attributes considered during the International Carwash Association’s judging, the Fusion scored high in these categories:
* Smooth aerodynamic lines that do not catch and retain dirt
* Moldings and ornamentation that do not protrude and are securely attached
* Bumpers, mirrors, wipers, etc. that are securely attached
* Radio antennas that are securely attached or are hidden in the windshield or back window glass
* Retractable side view mirrors that are robust at the pivot or mirrors that do not retract at all
* Ground affects and desk lid spoilers that are aerodynamic and securely attached or do not exist
* Windshield wipers that are concealed under the rear edge of the hood
* Front license plate attachments (when required) are secure and are not susceptible to damage
Now, if you are wondering what the heck I was implying in the opening statement of this FMWire entry… Here’s some additional reading for those of you who insist on having somebody else wash your car. From Newsweek.
