2006 Ford Fusion
NY Times Fusion Preview

Well it looks like ford finally took a hint, the Taurus, and now 500 were boring as. I can't say this is the best looking ever, but I think it has promise. It looks like they took styling from their current fleet and melded it with a touch of honda / caddy CTS.... I likey

I would probably get the 200HP 3.0-liter V6, but the I4 might be big enough, and especially more fuel effiecient, its just I want the nice rims and enhancements EDIT: (I HATE HUBCAPS) and the rims are in the bigger engine package. I wonder what chasis they are using. Modified Taurus or s40? EDIT: (Mazda 6)

~21,000+ and I would be looking to buy mid 2006 a year after the release.

I don't know much about cars, but say I was in the market for one in 2006, would this be one to consider? I have had 3 Ford cars ('90 Taurus SOLD, '02 Taurus Totaled, '96 Windstar current haha), and no they aren't BMWs, but all are functional for a resonable price, and I have never had a major system fault. I am driving the minivan cause my brother rolled my 02 taurus when I was out of the country, Big Blue (My van) has 105K on its 3.8L (Nice Engine)... but is still ticking.

EDIT: After some reading, the future calls for a hybrid, and a 3.5 280HP, and interior redesign. The option for AWD already exists on the SEL premo flava. I think ford might have this century's Taurus, althought it is a bit late, glad they have made it to the party. It is based off the Ford 427 concept, but the 427 had a V10

Looks more like my civic to me

The rear shot has some styling from the new Jetta. But it looks good for a taurus. I could almost see myself driving one of these if I had a family or a wife or even a girlfriend or wait I am off topic.

It looks good in black.

kinda looks like a ford mondeo from the rear to me.

For $21K I would rather get a Honda Accord LX V6. For $2K more, I would get the WRX.

I just don't like they way they drive. The new mustang looks nice though. I wouldn't buy it, but I might drive it.

Honestly I have never liked Ford automobiles. Every one I have driven, while highly reliable, has felt very cheaply constructed. Ford needs to work on that before I will consider purchasing one.

it looks butt ugly to me. I don't think it's much different from the 500 with a new grill. I was hoping it was a hybrid considering the name of the car..... stupid ford.

exactly. I had an F-150 and for an expensive vehicle it felt cheaply constructed. They skimp where they shouldn't. My Toyota feels much more solid as far as fit and finish goes and it was half the price. I don't think I'll ever buy another Ford again.

And I thought the Taurus couldn't get uglier...

Ford continues to underwhelm the market.
