Replying to: scape2 (Sep 13, 2007 2:56 pm) "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. "    You forgot to mention about $20,000 more too!...   I didn't know Fusions could be had in the low teens! If what scape says is true, then Fusions must not be selling well at the price Ford is asking! Replies to this message: scape2 (Sep 24, 2007 4:49 pm)

Replying to: mschmal (Sep 15, 2007 4:37 am) It seems to have more resemblance to the RL than the TL to me.

Replying to: thegraduate (Sep 21, 2007 10:50 pm) OOps.. meant to say $10,000 price difference. The whole point here is that a Ford Fusion in its V6 automatic against many of the Acura line with automatics does VERY well in the 0-60 category.
#19 of 28 Ford Fusion Sport Apperance Pkg. by mschmal Sep 26, 2007 (4:07 am)
WOW.   The 18 inch tires turn this in to a track car. Ok a really heavy track car but its still a huge difference from the 16 inch contis on the SE.   Also if you don't like the in your face chrome of the grill, standard on Fusion, the Sport Package has kind of a darker chrome. It looks very after market. Also the spoiler is unique from the optional $295 spoiler.   The wheels are great. The only down side is the red inserts in the leather seats. But it is in line with the mission of the car.   The suspenion didn't seem any harsher. I always thought that the standard set up was pretty good though. IMHO the weak link in Fusion handeling is those icky 16 inch Contis which are way to easy to push.   The Sport Package is great for people who want less bling and more sting.   Mark.

Replying to: mschmal (Sep 26, 2007 4:07 am) Fusion is OK I guess. Interior is pretty bland. Having seen the new Malibu though, I gotta wonder who's gonna buy a Fusion if they cross-shop them. The Malibu's interior alone is so much nicer. Mild hybrid available too. Ford is just falling further behind it seems to me.

Replying to: jeyhoe (Oct 05, 2007 2:51 pm) Assuming the malibu drives like the typical vague handling Chevy, this would be one reason for prefering a Fusion.

Replying to: jeyhoe (Oct 05, 2007 2:51 pm) Along with the stellar record the Fusion/Milan have for reliability! I feel the Fusion will sell for less $$ option for option when comparing the new Malibu. Nice to see Chevy starting to take the sedan market more seriously however.
#23 of 28 Another thing I like about Fusion... by mschmal Oct 30, 2007 (6:08 am)
I love how much equipment you get STANDARD. Also Malibu will not have AWD and the mild hybrid hardly deserves consideration with its 24 city 30 hwy rating.   If you want a really great car, look at a Milan Premier FWD V6. If you don't add moonroof, upgraded radio, etc. You get a very well equipped car for around 23k. And you get SYNC!   Mark.

Replying to: scape2 (Oct 12, 2006 6:44 pm) The Fusion has a more in your face design and makes the Camry/Accord look frumpy. Granted, this is my opinion..   I share your opinion completely. Style and design were a big part of why we bought a 2007 SEL AWD Ford Fusion on Dec. 4, 2006. Replies to this message: akirby (Oct 30, 2007 6:46 am) urnews (Oct 30, 2007 12:58 pm)
