Importantly...... Try laying rubber for 20 feet in a Fusion. This car will have plenty of personality.

lol well yes, my analogy was more say a 2007 IS vs 2007 GS vs 2007 LS. All shared a similar L-Finesse profile and similar smallish grills etc.. but the GS's quad headlamp design and low roof profile gave it a personality. Compared to say a 2008 A4, 2008 A6 and 2008 A8 which to an untrained eye can easily be mistaken for each other.

For the first year yes, but when GM releases the new Camaro then the battle continues

The Camaro vs. Mustang war is one where as a Ford fan, I've generally been on the Camaro side(mainly because my dad has a 67 Pontiac Firebird 400, and my first car was an 89 Pontiac Firebird). I do love me an F-Body. But I also really enjoy the Mustang. I would kill someone for a 67 GT500.
