I know this is a Mustang forum, but since AAI was involved I'd figure the guys who may work there can shed some light on this...

Now, I'm no engineer, but my eyes do not deceive me. The new Ford Fusion seriously resembles the Mazda 6.

Since the Mazda 6 and the S197 Mustang are built in Flat Rock at AAI, I was wondering if the Fusion is built there as well since the Mazda 6 and the Fusion are too close...

Any takers? I know they look different, but if you look at the wheelbase, the drivetrain, and the frame structure, i'm telling ya, it's the same car!!!

The Fusion is built on the same platform as the Mazda6.

Got to drive one yesterday, SEL V6 6-speed auto. Superb balance, more than adequate power and rock solid structural feel! Interior components of very good quality/fit and finish. FoMoCo should do well with this one!!
