| As an ex Mazda 6 fan, the new fusion is the promise of hope I have been looking for. I just hope they have tuned the suspension in the non sport versions such that it will suffice. I am sure someone will come up with a good after market grill. The rest of the front end looks too good not to. | |

Replying to: elroy5 (Nov 19, 2008 3:41 pm) I bought my 06 Fusion on November 5, 2005. It was one of the first to hit the dealership. The 2009 Fusion production ends in December, they're idling the plant for January to move out the rest of the 2009s so the 2010 rolls off the line in late January or early February. That's 38 or 39 months - NOT 4 years. Then again we knew you'd find something bad to say. With you I guess every silver lining has a dark cloud......

Replying to: elroy5 (Nov 19, 2008 3:41 pm) Simple math: The Fusion hit dealers in October of '06, with the redesign scheduled for (at the latest) February of '09, for a sum of 40 months, or 3 years, 4 months. For the record, it's well within the mid-cycle refresh time that your precious Honda and Toyota follows. ...and on the exterior that grill is way too much. Heh, "too much"? Have you seen the warped-razor-blade that Acura calls a grille for the TL and TSX? It makes both the current and future Fusion look tame in comparison, and takes them both right off my list.

For those of you ripping on the Fusion Hybrid's leaf display, take a look at this. I'm proud to say that my 5 year old son could draw nicer leaves than that!  Is it just me or is there waaaay too much going on on that dash? What ever happened to those simple Honda dash layouts that were praised so much? We have 2 cars and I drive one primarily while my wife drives the other. Both have fairly simple dash layouts and center stacks (both Ford SUVs) which allows us to use the other one on occasion and not be confused. If I had to drive this once or twice a week I'd get a migrane trying to figure out what's going on. The Fusion Hybrid isn't immune to this either mind you, but it Honda has taken this to a whole new level IMO. Not good.

Replying to: stephen987 (Nov 20, 2008 10:38 am) Yes, but I was talking about the gauges and such not the center stack. The center stack in those pics is definitely much simpler than that of the Accord or Pilot which can only be good. All that garbage going on in front of the driver's face is rather poorly done IMO. Even the owner of an Accord and Insight would be confused going from one to the other I think.
