2006 Ford Fusion

amit · 14th January 2005, 22:45

Surprised? Don't be! This is the American Fusion slotted between the Focus and the Ford 500 and is based on the Ford 427 concept. Engines include the 2.3Ltr 4 cylinder with 160 hp and 3.0 V6 with 210 hp. Both engines feature Intake Variable valve timing (I-VCT) and electronic throttle control.
I, personally, don't like it's looks although the interiors are pretty good.
Thank God, we got the European Fusion here!

Lol!! The names of Fords are really confusing. We have a Fusion that is a Cross between an Hatchback and a SUV but this is a Saloon here. Recently they displayed the Fairline concept which looks kinda Range Roverish when old Fairlines are Saloons sold in Australia and America.

and tail looks like a Lancer

Look closer. At the exterior lines and the interiors.

Its a Ford Mondeo!! With a facelift for the Yankees...

normally_crazy · 15th January 2005, 22:20

the front reminds me of the vectra !! and the tail lights remind of an ikon !

turbo_lover · 15th January 2005, 22:29

the lines and the boot are a carry over from the 4 door focus ..
some how the front end wid the euro style headlamps and the rear chromish tailights dont gel ...
nice to see most of the american cars stepping up on interior ...looking very fresh .the dials kinda look similar to dat of the new mustang minus the chrome ...dont u think ?

cheers

but the taillights reminds me more of the Lancer than the Ikon.The front is Vectra surely.Its more Skoda-ish sideways.
