NOT Igor Except Ford is the only one that changes grills, lights, and interiors only. At least the Z gets the 3.5 this year, but the Fusion needs it too. Every other luxury make I can think of uses much different design, better powertrains, offers RWD, etc.. It's not about blaming anybody, it's constructive criticism, Ford needs it if they think Lincoln can compete with anybody but Buick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It offers identical powertrains, and even the interior is WAY more carried over from the Camry than the Zephyr shares with the Fusion. The trick the Japanese get away with is selling their foreign models here and giving them nifty luxury names: European Accord = Acura TSX, Nissan Skyline = Infiniti G35, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
