#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   Interior packageing is outdated, fit and finish is subpar for segment (don't believe then look closely at the ground effects kit, it looks like it was bolted on by a 17yo kid who never did it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.
#15 of 28 TL look a alike. by mschmal Sep 15, 2007 (4:37 am)
Notice that the 08 Accord is a total TL look alike.   Mark. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Sep 21, 2007 10:52 pm)

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.
