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.

Why would you buy any of them? Why wouldn't you buy a Passat with 4 years/50,000 mile warranty, and German engineering. I would never own a non-german made car.

They are not built in the same plant. The Fusion is built in Mexico! The Mazda6 is built at Auto Alliance International in Flat Rock, MI which was originally built by Mazda and called Mazda Motor USA Manufacturing. Ford then bought into it so it could build some of their cars. They do not share the same suspension either. The 4 cyl is a Mazda engine and the V6 WAS, is no longer, a Ford engine. Remember who developed the platform (GG/GY), Mazda!
So, I say again, The Fusion was loosely based on the 1st gen Mazda6.
I have a funny feeling you are about to get ripped by many here in regards to calling the Mazda6 "cheap and loose". greyghost, where are ya? All evidence points to the contrary.
Again, if you didn't like it, just say so!

You rip Ford and Mazda and then put VW on a high horse? Can I have what you are smoking? 
To VW's credit, they do build a car that's easy on the eyes, and the newer models have a decent interior. Same cannot be said of ones just a few years ago.
