Holy sh$t, proper evolution. That is one nice looking car. Maybe I will trade in my Focus next year.

If it came with a 6 speed manual or proper DSG style transmission, I'd be all over it.

This was at the autoshow........
I agree with them, the HAVAC and steering wheel look cheap..
I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.

HAVAC and stereo are the same controls and buttons from the 08-09 Foci. You think Ford wouldn't re-use parts going to ahigher end model?

I dunno, as a current (soon to be former generation) Fusion owner I have to say there are parts that appeal to me, like the frontend styling, the 3.5L V6 & AWD.
Yet there are also parts that make me go "Uh, thanks but I'll hold on to my '08 for a while yet" the centre stack is abominable, buttons down to the depths of hell and tiny little things too with the non NAV models.
The rear end styling evokes the last gen Focus, which may look nice but was an absolute magnet for dirt & crud, which sucks when you use it to open / close the trunk :ph34r:

My lease is up in just over 2 years - - just the right amount of time for Ford to iron out the new-car wrinkles.
I do like the way it looks - just the right amount of Mondeo in there for my liking ... I particularly like the fat 5-spoke rims (or should that be phat) ... kinda reminds me of these ... too bad the bolt pattern's wrong ...

I too like the exterior of the Fusion. However, since I don't require a bigger vehicle, I'll stick with the Focus. And when are we going to rename this site? ALLFORDSFREAKSCANADA.NET?
