glad to see for has finally decided to do what my old boss had been telling them to do for years that new fusion looks nice and theyre finally making it into a hybrid!


and if you were curious/ready to call bull****: my former boss was Bob Tasca, Sr.



you can thank him for the 1967 GT500 KR, and the current GT500 KR

 

My exact reactions

 

You beat me to it!

Nice, but a bit too much chrome at the front for me. If they could lose that bar that extends over the headlights and make the rest of the grille a bit smaller it would be really sharp.

 

Grille still looks too big

 

It looks good minus the grill. If the grill was smaller it would look A LOT better.

 

Maybe Ford won't care if dealers paint it unlike Acura with the TL.

 

wow thats a huge screen
but i guess something as powerful as ford's sync deserves a screen that large

i wouldnt mind considering this car if it has decent reliability and a decent powertrain

 

Reminds me of a Saab 9-3

 

Take that Toyota.

 

Give me the Ford Fiesta.

 

An all-electric range of more than 700 miles!? I think there is a bit of misinterpretation here. If that is the TOTAL range for the hybrid cars, it's pretty good but nothing spectacular.

Toyota's hybrids can already do all-electric speeds at up to 30 or so mph, and I'm sure the new Prius and upcoming Toyota hybrids will be able to do much faster speeds.

 

Oh yes Im sure, but the fact that a Fusion could have the range of 700 miles is pretty good. I could make my 11 hour road trip to SC without ever having to stop.

New hybrids

Attractive Fusion

New Mercury lineup coming

Eco boost engines

Cheap stock

All the more reason why I want to buy some shares of Ford.

 

I will say that out of all the American automakers, Ford looks to have the most promising future.

 

Looks good and grill doesn't look too bad compared to a TSX, TL or RL

 

I think GM has generally superior vehicles but worse financials and management.

So from an investment standpoint, Ford looks better to me. From a which vehicle to buy standpoint, I'll typically go with GM though not always.

I do love Ford's Sync system. Best in the business by far IMO.
