For a long time, I've seen seen any midsized sedan from any manufacturers as a cop-out design, very middle-of-the-road. Ford's latest offering is something like a fourth album of cover songs from an established band. Were they so sore about selling one of their jewels that they made a mockery of Aston Martin?
Ford's ambition is for the Fusion to become as wildly popular as the Taurus once was. After all, it's a mid-size sedan with a mid-size price and great gas mileage. (Ford still offers the Taurus, but it hasn't been a big seller for years.)
Completely revamped inside and out, the Fusion takes on the other middle-class stalwarts in the field, like the Toyota Corolla (which is as beige as a car that you'll likely to find), the redesigned Honda Accord and the Nissan Altima.
Too often mid-size cars are studies in bland design. The Fusion neatly avoids this foible by grafting on the front end of an Aston Martin.
No, really. Take a look at the flat-faced, oval grill laced with horizontal lines, and note the uncanny resemblance to models found on Aston Martins, a high-end brand that Ford once owned.
