RichardJensen Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The 2010 Fusion is still a struggler, they have not done a good job with this one. Which is sillier? making judgments about interiors off of press photos or making judgments about interiors off spy shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Which is sillier? making judgments about interiors off of press photos or making judgments about interiors off spy shots? The interior is largely carried over, I already know what most of the interior looks like. I've been doing this long enough to deduce the production variant.

Ford-150 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) As much as I despise the CRV (It's a hideous ugly PIG) It should be noted that that is not the North American radio. i think the base model has that ugly ass DIN but this one is on the upper models, im "talking" with this girl that drives one and i have been in ti some bit....and i always make fun of its over bite and tell her the car is "special", she gets mad(she is a honda person even though she could not tell you where the washer fluid goes or where the oil goes) but the interior quality is not very great especially since she has an "upper" model P.S. hers looks just like this Edited June 21, 2008 by Ford-150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I really like the redesign on the 08 Escape...now if I could get an SEL model or the like with a I4 and stick with the 09 model, it would be really hard to turn down since it would get about the same MPG as a I4 Fusion, but have more room.

You don't know thing one about the accent trim, the colors, the material quality, the IP gauge trim, etc. Yes, I do! And it won't solve the vehicles substantial ergonomics issues which still places everything LOOOW on the dash. The door trim is carried over, no amont of material improvements can correct this.

Always quick to jump to a conclusion without definitive facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97svtgoin05gt Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm driving an '08 Escape Limited now with everything except the NAV. Its definitely a nice truck, I enjoy it. I just wish I'd have known about the PIP DT30 coming in '09. I would've waited. The native 3.0 with the 4 speed really is the last weak link in the truck. That valley between first and second is god-awful. The other issue is the around town 18.5 MPG I'm getting. Thats hurting my wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I see that Asia got a facelifted version of our old Escape. Yes, they're made by Mazda in Japan but the word is that the Kuga will take its place inside two years, Mazda doesn't sell the Tribute in Australia any more, just CX-7 and CX-9.

ANTAUS Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Wow, the rear lights are shapped like the eyes of the people that will be buying them....Anyone noticed that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Oh no!! The 4 cylinder is larger than last years engine, I guess that means poor fuel mileage and they'll have to cancel it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, I do! Okay. The current Fusion has 3 accent pieces: Piano black, a faux wood, and faux carbon fiber. Interior colors are camel, medium light stone and charcoal black. Two tone options include a black over and camel over the interior color. What will the new Fusion have for trim & color options?

RichardJensen Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 No. It gets better gas mileage because it's more powerful and efficient. He's just complaining because the Mustang isn't going to get a 6.2L engine in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I need to download another software patch. Well, i guess that's what I get for using an open source sarcasm detector instead of the Microsoft version.
