Sixt9coug Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 You're talking about the colored portion on the center stack? That's rubberized/soft touch? Hmmm, that's interesting. there is a paint out there that is used on alot of cell phones and cell batteries that is a soft touch style paint. Go ahead, rub your phone and see if its it. My Motorola KRZR has it on the battery and back of the phone and its a soft, velvety feeling clearcoat. a company named Alsa makes a product like that, but not sure if they are the only player in the game.

waymondospiff Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 No thoughts on the Fusion though? Looked good. By the time I made it to the Ford stand my friend was tiring and he was bored with all of the "affordable" cars I was looking at - so I looked at the Fusion quickly and moved on. It's pretty striking on the stand - but I'm more interested in the "middle-of-the-road" SEL 4cyl models. Hopefully they'll have more at Detroit in a month-and-a-half. I am surprised they had one there ! Still a long way until it will be introduce in the US (2011MY?) Maybe they are looking for feedback. The only gasoline engine offered in Europe is an old 2.0L coupled to a 4 speed automatic. If that's what shows up here it it will be DOA ! The Transit Connect will be here before the next LA Auto show. "Coming Summer 2009" is what Ford claims on the website. And yes, the 2.0L/4speed auto is the drivetrain. Not exactly awe-inspiring, but a workable pairing that will help Ford determine if there is a market for the little guy here before introducing a more Americanized version. And don't forget they had TWO there. And I think they're great! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
