Hey you can test drive the 09 Mazda6i. It has the 2.5l I4. You can get a feel for how the 2.5 will drive.
 
Vw has some great heated cloth seats in the 5dr Rabbit...
 
While on the VW subject, we may as well stop talking about the passat 3.6 as vw as dropped it. It was a great engine and I'll miss it!! Thankfull, the 2.0T is still strong and fast!
 
ps: This post has come a looong way since my post #20!

Too large to embed. We'll see it officially at the L.A. Auto Show this fall. Milan pics are also available.

I hope the Sport Appearance Package (SAP) will be an option on the 2010 model. The wheels and interior accents make the Fusion even more unique and sporty while still looking very tasteful.
 
Agreed. But looking at those spy shots I and akirby later posted you can see that the 2010 Fusion has some pretty big wheels there. They look like 18 or 19 inch so I would expect some kind of sport appearance package to be available then too.
 
A 'manu-matic' type shifter or any improvement over the current automatic shifter with only 'D' and 'L' positions available.
 
Don't hold your breath on that either. I'd be more pleased with a full manual tranny with the V6 personally.

Hideous paint aside, the 2010 Fusion is ugly, especially the taillights. I don't like the looks of it at all. the 2006-09 models look better to me. Just one person's opinion, of course. Boz

That's not paint, it's a camouflage decal. That's also not the real headlights or taillights - those are camo stickers.
 
I like it a lot - I think it's a big improvement.

I agree 100%. After seeing the shots of the 2010 Milan and the MKZ too, I think the Fusion is easily the best looking of the 3.
 
The spy shots of the interior from a while back show a nice improvement too. No more radio "brick"! Hopefully the backlights are the new Ford Ice Blue instead of the old swamp green too.

Throw in new drivetrains with more power AND better fuel economy (best in class we're told), Sync, AWD, a hybrid and revised interior and I think Ford has a hit.

Odd spy shots of the Fusion. With a paint job like that out in public, you just draw lots of attention to yourself out there in Death Valley where a lot of S. California cruisers like to be. It would have been better to paint it silver and put Audi A4 badges all over it, and nobody would ever know the difference!!

$5K less than the fall-apart-on-command Passat? Wow...

Seems positive to me. Again, nothing but praise for the interior, and it seems to handle well, even with the small 16" wheels. Did you notice the 125ft braking distance, followed by the comment that the brakes just don't fade?
 
Just another notch in the best for the Mazda6. Now lets see if Mazda can sell them!!
