I feel Ford needs to make some cooler, better looking cars. Sure, the Fusion is okay, but its nothing that people will say, "Wow! Look at that car!!! A Ford Fusion!!" Its not, and it never will be. I guess what I am trying to say is that Ford is not appealing to the younger crowds. The 16-25 year old car buying market is pretty big and unless you are between those ages and have a baby you prolly don't have any interest in getting that car. We are comparing this car to the Kia Sephia and Hyundai Sonata..not impressing anyone in the younger crowd.

I can't see any resons why Ford couldn't take my car and label it an SVT Fusion. With some ground effects like the above, I'd a bought it in a heartbeat.

I'm shocked! It is possible to make a Fusion look worse.

Have him look at where the parts on Chevy's comes from. Last I checked the engine in the Equinox comes from China.  Needs more common sense.
Why? Because one engine in one car comes from China?

That demographic doesn't have all that much money to burn. That is where the Focus comes in. Available in 2 door, hatch, sedan, & wagon. Ample mods available, low sticker, good handling. Made for the younger set.
The Fusion is rather tasteful & understated. Old guys like me like that. Drop in a 3.5 & I'd take a look at one.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I don't see a single thing tasteful or understated in the Fusion's exterior. It's ghetto bling gaudy in an overly blocky tank of a shape.

I agree. And change the wheels and it'd be looking pretty good. That body kit isn't perfect, but it ain't bad.
