I like the styling of the Mazda 6 over the Fusion. Also, there are more powertrain combinations for the Mazda. You can get a 5 speed manual transmission with either the 4 or 6 cylinder in the Mazda, but only with the 4 cyl. in the Fusion. If you really want some spunk, look at the new Mazdaspeed 6. 4 cylinder, turbo, AWD with a 6 speed manual. But then again, I might be bias. Look at my sig.

How's the handling compare, 6i to Tour? I'm sure the 6i is quicker.

I'll take the Mondeo over the Mazda thank you. The Mazdas grill is hideous in person.

the new mondy is based off of a stretched volvo platform.

I think the grill would look best in black, whatever the color the rest of the car was...

Not even remotely exhuastive, and not terribly accurate either.

I could have swore the Crown Vic shared some platform parts with the Explorer. Maybe that's just the old ones...
