New Fusion has a nice little boost in HP and TQ to be more competitive with the imports, and it's FINALLY got some proper bloody headlights! Halogen's BEGONE! it's almost 200-and friken'-9! lol
I think it still looks better than the new Mazda 6. The new 6 looks just like every other Jap car now with smooth lines and slash-style headlights and tailights...the last generation 6 looked nothing like an Accord or Camry, whereas the new one does.
There is still talk of an ST or SVT Fusion with a 3.5 stroked to 3.8L, with around 300hp...
The front, and sides of the Fusion look great, and the rear end isn't so bad...just that I wouldn't have put Taurus/500 style tail lights on it, and I'd loose the lame "Sport" emblem, or exchange it for an ST emblem. As far as the interior goes, I'd also get rid of the blue, and replace it with graphite/silver like they use in vehicles like...dare I say it...my Escape? Hehehe...
Still, they have gone the right direction with this car, and I'm sure the Fusion is only going to continue to be a hit (especially if they do something outrageous like bring the Falcon XR8 or FPS Series from Australia, and rebadge those as the Fusion in the next overhaul)...
