I'm not feeling the fog lamp area (on the fusion), other than that I think it looks great.

I'm liking both, though the fog lights do look a bit awkward on the fusion! I really want to see the lincoln in a dark blue!!

What if everthing chrome on the fusion was black matte?
That is just overdoing it with the chrome imo

Most chrome in its class... not something to be proud of imo

I'm skeptical that the "eyebrow" chrome will make production, I'm betting it'll stop short of that. Other than that these both look really, really good.

I HATE chrome on cars. I think they should either do black, brushed aluminum, or body color grilles on ALL cars NO PLASTIC CHROME!! the plastic chrome looks VERY cheap in my opinion! I am even thinking of painting my chrome horse and GT emblems matte black!

they also need to fix the tailights on the current fusion and edge. the quasi clear with chrome backgrounds looks rice in my opinion, I remember seeing a bunch of civics and the like with those same style taillights in the 90's. I think they would look so much classier if the had the red clear like the mustang has, where no chrome is visible behind the lense.

I'm a fan. The only qualm I have with the Fusion is the tailights. Elsewhere, it looks great to me

The tail lights are a huge improvement from the current cars. Would love to see interior pics.
