Sedans Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan Design: Love It or Not?

You are in the Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| What do you like or dislike about the FF/MM design? | |
When it comes to design, the American brands are getting the idea of what consumers are after. The front end and rear end of both the Fusion and Milan stand out in the crowd of Yawn, hum designs of the "class leaders". The design of the Fusion is bold, fresh and very classy. I have parked my Fusion side by side to an 07 Camry, and an 06 Accord. The Fusion has a more in your face design and makes the Camry/Accord look frumpy. Granted, this is my opinion..

That would be the tail lights. I don't care for the chrome backing when the tail light lenses are clear. The same issue exists for the Altima. Obviously these types of things are subjective. But other than this, I feel as though the Fusion and Milan both are great-looking mid-size sedans. I'd drive one and be proud of it. Ron M.

Replying to: ron_m (Oct 18, 2006 4:54 pm) I found some pictures of modfied fusions on-line, one had all red tail lights another had made the chrome part dark. Both looked better to me, I especially liked the dark outlined ones. Seems like that would go good with the black chrome grill that is coming. For looks the Mazda6 cousin of the Fusion/Milan is better, imo. |

Replying to: scape2 (Oct 12, 2006 6:44 pm) It's an opinion that we share, Scape. The Asian cars have such plain Jane styling, except for the Nissan Altima which I just don't care for at all. |

Toyota will be quick to remind you that America's favorite ice cream flavor is VANILLA! I like Cookies and Cream myself. Remmeber, Toyota is more of a marketing and manufacturering company that a "car company" in my mind. The Accord always had better performance numbers than the Camry. The Corolla doesn't even have an independant rear suspension! Rarely is there new ground breaking tech in a Toyota (hybrid) notwithstanding. Toyota wants to make the best boring cars on the market.

I really can't tell a 2000 Toyota Camry from a 2007 one just by looking at it. That is probably a big positive, too. |

| I have always thought the Ford Fusion was an American attempt to copy (at least in body shape/style) to the Acura TL. I'll always maintain that the TL is head, shoulders and waist above the Fusion, but wondered if anyone else has had that same visual. | |
