Look Ma, no round vents! It looks promising. Would be cool if it could play video - pretty big screen.

Wow not much changed... Except something that looks like a giant boob tube like the Buick Reatta used to have... The whole center stack looks inspired by a 1970's portable television...

I definitely think it looks better......and as far as inspiration, I think that they went to Lexus for that.

I can see the reviews already, they will say the car is great, and then say, the ergonics are all wrong, the buttons are too low on the center stack...so the car is 4th place in our 4 car comparison.

They have GOT to do something about those gaps on the upper storage bay. I have no idea what the f the deal is with Ford with this stuff. On the Lincoln, they are perfect on the interior bits. WTF, a computer makes a mold for a plastic part that snaps into another one. The tolerances are engineered in, its not a matter of production cost. Two pieces of plastic and soft touch buttons fit perfectly on a $25 boost phone. And the dash/console gap is stupid, why not just emulate the junction that is in the flex??? Again, its all plastic and CAD programs, not some insurmountable task....Flow the stack into the console and move the shifter 1" back, viola! I'm a friggin genius. The gaps around the parts are absurd.

Looks similar to current interior in Fusion.

Kevin, you do realize you are looking at a pre-production test mule interior. Thats why the gaps are as big as they are. They aren't going to have a production ready interior for a test car!!

Not surprising since this is an MCE and not a total redesign. All the structure behind the dash facade probably changed very little if any at all.

One of the most obvious things is the gauge cluster. Far different than the current model:
