Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 12, 2008 5:34 pm) Styling looks OK, too. Just to clear up earlier posts in this thread, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine is the same one in the latest Escape hybrid, but the rest of the Fusion hybrid (batteries, etc.) is improved over the Escape hybrid. |

Looks like Ford must have paid the EPA VERY well to get those numbers. (jk) No, actually, that means they optimized the components very well. Good job, Ford !!! (never thought I'd say that)

Replying to: iwant12 (Dec 26, 2008 4:03 pm) 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.
