If it wasn't for the Accord the Fusion would be picking up some firsts. Honda simply knocked the 13 Accord out of the ballpark in all categories and IMHO the wins are deserved. As for the Malibu, that one brings in consistant last place finishes and is going to need more than GMs emergency "styling update" to help it.
I don't disagree, but Fen's comment was the Fusion was "best in class". So far it hasn't been showing that in the comparisons. As you point out, 2nds and 3rds.
