I can see that offering two different V6 engines is going to make it tough on dealers to place orders.

The Fusion looks decent, but the Milan looks horrible. Fusion could use real chrome instead of cheap plastic three barred grill, and it might get my approval. Does anyone have a rear view of the Fusion?

The drive of the 1st gen Mazda6 was anything but American, and they were not almost the same car. Similar platform's do not equal same car. That is a common misconception.
The Fusion is highly recommended by leading consumer publications as was the 1st gen Mazda6. According to many, including the site you are posting on (Edmunds.com) the 09 Mazda6 is a class leader, ahead of Altima, Camry and Accord. Not a good idea to buy either? Hardly. The reasons you post fail to prove that. Sorry. If you just don't like them, that's fine. Then that's what you should say. Don't make non factual based comments or people like myself will jump on you for it.

I've been looking for a rear view, and I can't seem to find one. My guess is the front end is the same plastic-chrome. I've never been a fan of it.
Man, am I the only one that sees a Saab!?!?!

The Fusion and Milan have the same 3/36 bumper to bumper and 5/60 powertrain warranty as the Accord and is just as reliable based on the last 3 years of data. There is nothing wrong with the grille material, either. If you don't like the design just say so and don't buy one.

Thats funny, because Ford owns 33% of Mazda and the Mazda 6 is made in America. Not only do the Fusion and the 6 share the SAME CHASSIS, are BUILT IN THE SAME PLANT, SHARE THE SAME ENGINE AND SUSPENSION. So before you start talking smack, look up your information. I have driven an 05 Mazda 6, and a 2006 Fusion and they drive the same, cheap, and loose. So why don't you stop making non-factual based comments. Oh, and BTW, Ofcourse the 09 Mazda 6 is class-leading it just got a 100% new body style, inside and out. The Camry and Accord have been on the market since 2007. I have nothing against the new Mazda 6, have not driven one yet.

Fusion is built in Hermosillo, Mexico (always has been). Mazda6 is built in FlatRock.
09 Fusion has a 3.0L and 3.5L V6. 09 Mazda6 has a 3.7L V6.
So before YOU start talking smack YOU might want to look up your information. Then again I don't think you're much interested in facts.
