Replying to: ron_m (Oct 18, 2006 4:54 pm) Just buy the S model, don't have to worry about the chrome on the back of the Fusion. I bought the S model, and love the monochrome look of it, with no chrome, except the grill.

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.   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.
#7 of 28 Plain Jane styling. by mschmal Jun 18, 2007 (4:17 am)
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.     Mark. Replies to this message: urnews (Jun 18, 2007 6:21 am)

Replying to: mschmal (Jun 18, 2007 4:17 am) Toyota wants to make the best boring cars on the market.   They have been very successful at what they do. That's for sure. And, because of their dedication to moderation, their cars age gracefully. 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.
#9 of 28 Ford Fusion "look a like"? by gvb Sep 13, 2007 (1:15 pm)
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.

Replying to: gvb (Sep 13, 2007 1:15 pm) Nope. It's closer to a CTS than a TL IMO. Replies to this message: urnews (Sep 13, 2007 1:52 pm)

"   You forgot to mention about $20,000 more too!...   Take a look at the last Motor Trend and see how much quicker a TL automatic is than a v6 AUTO Fusion, there is a real surprise!

#13 of 28 Acura TL. by mschmal Sep 14, 2007 (3:58 am)
IMHO, this car is only purchased by people that don't look at anything else.   Interior packageing is outdated, fit and finish is subpar for segment (don't believe then look closely at the ground effects kit, it looks like it was bolted on by a 17yo kid who never did it before.)   Ride Dynamics are also subpar for segment.   The TL falls flat on its face if you match it head to head to a Nissan Maxima, let alone a Infiniti G35. I won't bring up the Lincoln MKZ as that car really doesn't have sporty aspirations.   Mark.

Replying to: gvb (Sep 13, 2007 1:15 pm) Not sure where you are seeing TL at all, they look nothing alike to me...except that both are 4 door sedans.   I can see the CTS comparison some are making in the angularity, verticality, and big buttedness.
