Love the interior! The nose is a little too much like the new Taurus for my taste, but that wouldn't keep me from buying the car.
 
Other things, not related to the quality of the car itself, might. . .

I actually like the look of the Fusion. Ford did a good job with it. This is probably the most extensive refresh I have ever seen. With new engine / tranny choices and new sheet metal, this is more like a totally new model.

Pardon me, while I add the Fusion to my short list of cars I'm looking to purchase in the summer of 2010.
 
In a word, nice! I really like the interior, and if the materials are any better than in the current car, even better.

I can't recall ever seeing such extensive changes on a car that's just over 3 years old. Kudos to Ford, especially on the fuel economy and hybrid models.

Considering how quickly this segment raises the bar, Ford had to do something to stay competitive. The power/economy ratio was something that needed attention. Any numbers out yet for this?

2.5L I4 - 175 hp (give or take) - 33 mpg highway
2.5L I4 Hybrid - 38 mpg city (Camry hybrid is only 33)
3.0L V6 - 240-245 hp with better FE than current 221 hp 3.0L V6 (no numbers)
3.5L V6 - 265 hp - no FE numbers

Didn't the Fusion come out in 06? So 06,7,8, and 9, that's four years. If it isn't a totally new model, it should be. Most midsizers are redesigned every 5 years, but considering how far behind the Fusion was, it had to be redone as soon as possible, IMO. If this isn't a total redesign, when will it happen? 2020? As far as the interior goes, some of the buttons are still way too low on the dash, and on the exterior that grill is way too much.
