Replying to: larsb (Dec 23, 2008 10:07 am) I keep reading about the official EPA estimate for the hybrid, but what about the other engine and transmission options? Are they not out yet?

Replying to: milkman1 (Dec 23, 2008 12:12 pm) milkman1, I heard the 4cylinder non-hybrid Fusion will beat Accord and Camry in fuel economy. Replies to this message: akirby (Dec 25, 2008 9:15 am) iwant12 (Dec 26, 2008 4:03 pm) akirby (Dec 26, 2008 6:35 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: coldcranker (Dec 24, 2008 7:47 pm) No official numbers yet but Ford says the 2.5L I4 should get 34 mpg highway which beats Accord and Camry by 1-2 mpg. Replies to this message: iwant12 (Dec 26, 2008 4:03 pm) akirby (Dec 26, 2008 6:35 pm) iwant12 (Dec 26, 2008 7:08 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Dec 25, 2008 9:15 am) Akirby, do you know if the '10 Fusion will be on the same chassis as the '09? Isn't it based on the Mazda6's chassis? Thanks. Replies to this message: akirby (Dec 26, 2008 6:35 pm) iwant12 (Dec 26, 2008 7:08 pm)

Replying to: iwant12 (Dec 26, 2008 4:03 pm) Sort of...... The original chassis for the 06 Fusion was a highly modified Mazda6 chassis (they lengthened and widened it among other things). For the 09 Mazda6 and 2010 Fusion it appears they're sharing an updated version of the Ford CD3 chassis (that's why the 09 Mazda6 is longer and wider). So it started as a Mazda6, was modified by Ford for the 06 Fusion, then updated for the 09 Mazda6 and 2010 Fusion. But each company does their own engine controls, tuning, suspension design and tuning, etc. Just look at the fuel mileage of the 2010 Fusion I4 and the Mazda6 with basically the same engine.

Replying to: akirby (Dec 26, 2008 6:35 pm) Okay, thanks for the info. I'm kind of liking the '10 fusion; have to wait until I see it in person. Have a good one.
#18 of 1054 Fusion won CD comparo by texases Dec 26, 2008 (8:06 pm)
Just got my CD, and the Fusion hybrid won the comparo over (in order) the Camry, Altima, and Malibu hybrids. They really liked it, thought it was the best driving one, and it got the best mileage. Estimated EPA city/hwy is 39/37. A Milan version will also be available, but no MKZ.

Replying to: texases (Dec 26, 2008 8:06 pm) Ford said today that its new 2010 Fusion hybrid has been certified by the EPA at 41 mpg/city and 36 mpg/highway, with a combined rating of 39 miles per gallon. That beats the hybrid versions of its competitors in the mid-sized sedan segment (at least based on their 2009 EPA ratings): the Toyota Camry (33 city/34 highway); Chevy Malibu (26/34); and the Nissan Altima (35/33). http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/uptospeed/2008/12/ford-hybrid-rol.html The 2009 Fusion/Milan get real high marks from owners. That should be a good sign for Ford. Ford already has the best CUV hybrid for mileage.

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 27, 2008 6:55 am) The Ford Fusion Hybrid is very good. However, I think the new Honda Insight being sold for $20,000, and the more roomy Prius that gets better MPG are going to be most people's first choices in hybrids. Moving targets there. To me, the Fusion has the advantage of being the most "normal" car amongst the hybrids, a selling point, but it won't equal the MPG of the more roomy Prius or be as cheap as the new Insight.
