USAToday's article on it says Honda has something similar in the works too. You don't think that will be some cheesy gimmick too?
 
If Honda has efficiency leaves or something similar, sure I will. I might change my name to *Rain* or *Springbreath* and wear only clothes made from recycled lawn clippings too, otherwise.
 
Why wouldn't I? To tell you the truth, I like the simplistic layout of gauges like they used to make in the Honda Hybrids, with basic charge/assist indicators, and a battery level. Give me info from my gauge cluster, and leave it at that, thankyousir.
 

 
I also like the implementation that Ford used in the old system. Although small, it wasn't distracting. None of this flashy stuff!

I think the hybrid camry has a similar "cheesy" display but I don't remember the details.
 
The good news is there are 4 display levels and the simple one is really simple, so you don't get the details unless you want them. That should satisfy the technologically challenged and the geeks at the same time.

Don't know if we have seen a shot as good as this just yet.
 
Those look like Altima head lamps to me....and a big "WTF" for the rear! This thing just looks weird.

I'm really curious to see the Fusion now. Until now, I thought the Milan was the better looking of the two.

The whole thing seems to droop now. It isn't terrible, but isn't what I'd call an improvement, either.

To me it looks much better, especially the slight bulge in the hood and grille. Of course this is probably the last new Milan we'll see. Mercury is moving towards unique vehicles and away from Ford rebadges. Note there was no Mercury version of the Flex or Edge (or Focus or Fiesta).
 
I expect the Fusion to look even better based on spy photos and illustrations. Shouldn't be too long now.

It's an Altima with a different grille. Umm, ugly.
 
I also love how the droopy front end doesn't even begin to flow into the boxed-off rear end.
 
I used to prefer the looks of the Milan over the Fusion... Not anymore.

The fusion drives like crap. My mother has a 2006 SEL V6, although the car is peppy, the steering is lose, and is pittiful for FWD in snow. I think she paid 28 grand for, biggest waste of money ever. I strongly don't reccomend a Ford product...and considering the Mazda 6 is practically a Fusion, I would stay away from it. Looks can be decieving, I would go with the Altima.
