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

Here's one article:
Edmunds article on the Fusion

What do you think about the Ford Fusion?

Ouch... sorry I asked.

A few comments:
-this car is not meant for everybody (if you drive a 911 every day, I doubt your in the target market)
-I don't understand or agree with NASCAR marketing... and don't care
-Just because it was built in Mexico, doesn't mean that's where it was engineered

The 6 is a great car, but some research has shown that its size limits its sales. While I prefer a smaller car, most 'mericans equate larger cars with more value/safety and whatever other excuse they can think of. Having said that, increasing the size of the vehicle allowed Ford to address some of the shortcomings of the 6 chassis (I will not go into details online about this).

Personally, I'm pretty excited about this car because Ford's styling is growing some cohones.
