So, now the press embargo is over and articles are starting to emerge.

Here's one article:

What do you think about the Ford Fusion?

Being somewhat of a Ford guy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) and my current DD being a Taurus with the same powerplant. I think it will be a big improvement to the lineup. I was lukewarm at best to the Five Hundred, and thought the Fusion was Fords best shot at reclaiming some "individual sales" and stop relying so heavily on Fleet sales of the Taurus. I think it will do OK, and the fact that it share chasis with the Mazda 6 will only help the driving dynamics, but it's not going to be any sort of wondercar the Taurus originally was.
I give it two thumbs up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
