Five minutes with Chris Hamilton, 2013 Ford Fusion designer [w/video]

MIT recently played host to a panel of engineers and scientists from automakers, suppliers and academia for "The Autonomous Vehicle - 2012," and Ford brought Chris Hamilton, designer of the 2013 Ford Fusion, to accept the New England Motor Press Gene Ritvo award for Design and Elegance. That gave us an opportunity to corner Mr. Hamilton for five minutes and chat about what's possibly the most hotly-anticipated mainstream sedan in a generation.

Check out the video below, and leave your own questions for Mr. Hamilton in the comments.
