That's a good rule for sure, but my rule is to always park at the highest point (if there is one) in any parking lot with carts because they never roll uphill. A grocery store parking lot is like a battle zone for nice cars, and the carts are like mines in a field. They are all over the place and you never know when one is going to "hit" your car. That's why I always look for the high spot in the parking lot and park there.

My rule is simple. Never take the nice car to Wal-Mart. That's what wifeymobiles are for.

Nice pics. Because I know my opinion matters so much, I've gotta say I DON'T like the lower grille on the GT. I much prefer the one on the V6

I agree. Not having any way to easily control the tranny in a car like this is simply inexcusable today. Every Mazda with automatic (except the rebadged Fords) has the manumatic option. EVEN THE MINIVAN!!!

That Interior is nothing but WIN! The NAV screen is huge but so is the price. I'm not sure how they can get away with charging $2k for them anymore when you can get a Pioneer indash or Garmin portable for half price with the same features.

Hey Mike, if its gonna be exactly like the Flex navigation system, with the ability to play DVDs (albeit while parked), a digital jukebox able to hold over 2,300 songs, and also able to upload, view and store digital photos. The new Nav system in the 2010 Fusion is only $1,700 which is cheaper than the old system, but its the "next gen" system. I'll gladly pay this price for all the features, a HUGE screen, and SYNC.

Ok I'm not married what am I to do then and this was so true ! As when I had my 05 GT this ding bat let her car go it had two flats of water in it and it nailed me and we were in it as we were stopped to talk to a friend @ Wal-Mart Very bad place they NEVER pick up thier cars often nough nor do most of the stupid people that shop there SMART enough to put them where they belong !

That's not a Truck. It is a garbage can with metal cladding

Get the new Shelby magazine with the GO Super Snake on the front, on sale now. At the bottom of page 20 is an artists rendering of the inside of the new Shelby Museum in Vegas. It's just art, but the cars are all 2010 style with hips, concave rears, and side windows that connect to the door window! BTW, where did the above pic link come from? Are there more?

It's kinda clever the way they were able to create the kickup in the rear of the door beltline by dropping the beltline lower in the rear than the front. That is why the rear quater windows never had to change shape or move despite the hop-up being added to the quarter panels. That also accounts for the new mirrors and all new interior door panels because they had to be much different to accomplish this dip in the beltline.

Now if they would only remove the tumourous growth on the rear valance and smooth out that checkmark lower edge of the taillamps it would look much better. To me the new 2010 looks much heavier with all the tumorous growth on the rear valance than my own car does with it's modest tuck under and no extended cladding.

Now I am not opposed to black masking. Black masking does a good job of visually lightening a car if it is done right. On the side of my car the black rockers does it's job because I cannot stand body colored rocker extensions which make the car look heavier and taller on the sides. Black masking also works well on the 07 VW GTI lightening the body sides sides and the bottom of the very thick rear bumper.
