P71_CrownVic Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Doesn't look like much has changed.. From that angle, the front half has a slight "CTS" look to it. And I still don't care for the red reflector blobs in the trunk lid. There is no reason for those. If the trunk needs something to break it up, do something that looks classy. But who knows if this is even the real car. Edited December 21, 2007 by P71_CrownVic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suv_guy_19 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 And I still don't care for the red reflector blobs in the trunk lid. I actually like those things. They aren't just reflectors, but rather part of the taillight assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmm55 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I actually like those things. They aren't just reflectors, but rather part of the taillight assembly. Ditto. I was following a Milan at night, they look like they are neon, they have a nice glow....very upscale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstock Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 The Merc does OK. The more I look at it, the more I like the non-angled tail lights. Give me a break from the world-Asian look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion0206 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Where do I sign up for those xray eyes you have? I thought they looked the same too, that is, the interior of the headlights didn't look any different on this prototype than on my '06 Fusion. Regardless of what the headlights look like, I hope Ford makes this a 2009 Fusion, not 2010. Edit: It looks like their gallery is of two different prototypes. After taking a second look I noticed a difference in how the camo was applied to the front end. So maybe those headlights are different after all.

silvrsvt Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 heres some crops of the photos posted on Windingroad.com Here is the cooling mule: Note the lack of mesh and old style headlights Production? Satin Silver colored grill, mesh in openings on bumper, "eyebrow" over new style lights with amber in smaller squarecile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblood Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 They don't expect this thing until the Detroit Auto Show in 2009?! Yikes. What's the holdup? Ford needs to test the new grill for two years.. Considering how minor the changes are, it's baffling that it will come as a 2010, and not a 2009, and we can see they did nothing to address the nasty front overhang, it's obvious Ford isn't gunning for the top, they are settling for competing with the upcoming Chinese cars.

FordBuyer Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 They don't expect this thing until the Detroit Auto Show in 2009?! Yikes. What's the holdup? If it is true that it will be a 2010 and not a 2009 like we hoped, then I would say it would be because of the engines and not the exterior changes. Igor has said that the new engines may not be ready as Job 1 starts and would come shortly after. Maybe Ford has decided to wait until all the new engines are ready and then build it. Makes sense to me. It seems to me that if 2009 Fusion was refresh year, more info would be out than is now. Hardly a thing about refreshed Fusion. Its looking more and more like 2010 all the time. But I would say new vehicles will be out in early 2009 and not fall of 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Doesn't look like much has changed.. Not at all. I can't recognize a diff here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Biggest change with Fusion, I'd say, is the bottom row of bars are gone, replaced with a.. 2005 Focus-like trapezoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordBuyer Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Not at all. I can't recognize a diff here. Other than engines, center stack, and some minor tweaks, there is not much to change. The vehicle looks great and is best handler of the bunch. The changes posted give it a little more aggressive look, and all it needs are the motors to be a little quicker and more fuel effecient.
