2013 Ford Fusion

Aston Martin called lol

And Ford said suck it...we gave you that nose to begin with...

Hahah yeeehaw! Says all 4-cyl versions, which means neither the crap 3.0 V6 or the good 3.5 V6 are making it over.

They should totally make an AWD version with the 3.5L Turbo as the GT or SHO model.

That would be fantastic. Might be a memorable car like the original Taurus SHO from the early 90's.

The Taurus is just so big these days; a TT Focus would be a great-sized car with some awesome power. If they will not bring a 5.0 4-door Falcon to the states, this would be a decent runner-up.

 

[Throckmorton]

Wow, the new headlights and grill look just like the new Dart

 

[Zap]

Fusion SHO anyone?

Put a V6 Ecoboost in there with AWD and manual transmission, and I can see it replacing my Mazdaspeed 6. :whiste:

 

[CrackRabbit]

Want.
Heck, I would trade my Sonata for that.

O'RLY? :awe:

O'RLY? :awe:

Haha...true. My memory is going...I was thinking that look was introduced with the DB7...but I forgot some of the classic '50 and '60s cars. So Ford is "innovating" as Steve Jobs would put it...

What's with your 3.0 hate? You always mention it. It's a decent engine.
Almost like its personal.

Is the current 3.0 still the duratec? That was a pretty good engine for its time. If it's still the current one, though, it's getting pretty old.

No manual with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost. Game over for me.

You'd think this was an internet forum...

The Fusion Energi - plug-in hybrid. I'm intrigued.

Looks good but does anyone else find the Ford logo itself kind of cheap looking on the hood of a modern car? Pretty much every other manufacturer just has a letter or a symbol.

I'm intrigued to drive one for sure. After driving my 3.5L V6 Fusion for the last year and a half, I hope I don't have to sacrifice too much power to get the mileage I want.

You're suggesting they abandon one of the most recognizable logos in the world?

And no, I don't.

I think it's aesthetically unappealing and looks out of place but I understand why they wouldn't want to change it.

do want

[ThatsABigOne]

Wow, I really like the looks of this car. Move over Focus, I think I've just found my next car!

This. Absolutely this. :thumbsup:

The looks remind me of the Ford Mondeo.

 

[Fenixgoon]

love the aston martin styling. these things are gonna sell like hotcakes in a segment dominated by relatively bland vehicles.

The front looks menacing in an Angry Birds kind of way.

Thats not something I ever expected to hear

If by that you mean an overstyled mess

Agreed...I don't think either will hold up over time.

I look forward to having one as a rental when it comes out. As with all cars that I think look good, I hope they have a wagon version!
