Saw this today and it looked really good for what they "say" they will be asking for it.

Sorry if they seem a bit blurry, they were spinning it a little fast for my camera.

I was really impressed! Maybe it was the color, kinda close to my cars color.

looks awesome! my favourite pics of it yet. ya that colour's awesome, and i really like the front end, except for that oval around the oval. i wish the emblem was just popped on top of the bars, instead of cutting into the bars.

That is nice!

I love the color. It reminds of the color of my first Mustang ('85 LX 5.0).

Nice rims. Can take or leave the car. Give me a truck or a sports car. IMO

Ford and Chrysler are getting all of my kudos for styling this year. Too bad the Diamler folks own Chrysler now.

I agree about the taillights, but overall I think Ford will have a real winner with this car

Hmm, just went to build one, you can only get the manual transmission with the 4 cyl and not the V6? Doesn't make much sense.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about that. The Mazda6 is available with V6/MTX, why not the Fusion?

Good question. Don't quite understand the logic there either. Regardless, I'm waiting on the SVT...

I wonder why Ford hasn't considered throwing a diesel in this car?

Given that gas prices have been climbing in the last few years, perhaps a fuel-efficent model, well advertised would help gain market share and provide competition to the TDI's.

Given that I have long commutes now I would look at picking up a diesel and I am sure there is a market lurking for them.

I can't see Ford doing a diesel in the Fusion for a few reasons. However, I would not be even remotely surprised to see a hybrid (with the 4 cylinder) version of this car in the near future.
