Ford Fusion, I think it’s an improvement over the cli-Taurus. Anyone drive, see, have one? I’m not thinking about getting one or anything like that, just curious. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/fusion.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/fusion.jpg) X… ---

the five hundred is a taurus… that you sit higher in. no engine options, and the same engine the taurus had. I can only see one pic… not sure about you guys… but I can’t get a good feel for it ---

Fusion is a mid-size car…sort of a late replacement for the Contour. IMO: the front looks alright, but the back looks too much like a focus. :tdown: ---

Car and Driver liked it. It came in 2nd, behind the Accord but ahead of the Camry and Sonata. [http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section\_id=15&article\_id=10245](http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=15&article_id=10245) It’s basically Ford’s way of filling the gap between the compact Focus and the near full sized 500. Too bad the panel gaps are HHHHUuUUUUuuUU-JA. ---

sharp car, proven platform - mazda 6. the five hundred, fusion, and the freestyle are the taurus replacements, not one of them. even though ford just stretched taurus production by another 6 months. again. ---
