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.

That is typical Ford engineering. CHEAP. The new Milan is worse then the old one, I could see maybe an 85 year old woman driving one. That grill is hidious!

Fusion steering and handling is one of it's strong points and is better than average for this type of vehicle. That was one of the few benefits of the Jackie Stewart Formula 1 team.

Ummm, you need to be corrected. The Mazda6 is not by any means a Fusion. The Fusion was loosely based on the 1st gen Mazda6 and though no longer in production the 1st gen Mazda6 is still considered the best handling, braking and steering vehicle in this class. The 2nd gen is a whole other story. The difference is night and day between the two of them.
