Watch Ford jump its 2013 Fusion into a pile of cardboard boxes
Watch Ford jump its 2013 Fusion into a pile of cardboard boxes
Ford is getting pretty creative with ad spots for the new 2013 Ford Fusion. After seeing Ford make its rivals disappear, we now get to see it make the new Fusion fly. In a new television commercial called Cliff, the car is shown being driven off the side of a mountain and flying through the air. Instead of relying solely on CGI to make the car fly, Ford threw in some good old-fashioned stunt driving for added realism.
As in any stunt, this Fusion was modified for optimal safety and effect. All of the windows were replaced with Mylar, the airbags were removed and ballast was added to the trunk to give the car better balance for flying. For the jump itself, the car hit the five-foot ramp at 52 miles per hour, and it flew for 90 feet before crashing into 2,000 cardboard boxes. After all was said and done, it took two days to create the jump for the 30-second spot.

Just saw a trailer load of the new Ford Fusion.
Ford has done it. They have killed all the other family sedans with this one.
It is an epitome of restrained, yet muscular and eye catching design.
Sadly, the the Camry looks like a ricer car in it's comparison.
OTOH, the new ES350 is another successful design. It looks way better than the GS350.

Ford didn't design squat. They copied an Aston and Jag...
The car looks good (not great in my opinion), but I have no respect for it or them because of it. No better than the Chinese car makers blatantly copying other cars and calling it their own (and winning the lawsuits because the Chinese courts are obviously biased).

They can do what they want

I'm actually surprised at how nice the car looks. Good enough to warrant a visit to the dealership to check out the interior and possible test drive. I'm starting to see a lot of nice looking cars coming out the last few years. A couple of years ago almost everything out was kind of ugly.
