The new ford fusion

Anybody else see the new fusion. Looks a lot like the newer lancers. Everybody body wants to talk bout "rice burners" but yet make their cars look just like them. Lol

Wrong. Looks like an Aston Martin. Seems more like you want the Lancer be more. Even though its a lower tier car.

Fusion and Lancer should not be compared. Lancer loses.

Fusion:


Lancer:


Aston:

So you would rather compare a fusion to a Aston? I was simply talkin looks. But yes I agree it is more Aston then Lancer. My apologies. Personally rather a Lancer over fusion. But to each their own.

Drive both fully loaded models. Hell, drive a Ralliart to Fusion 3.5 v6 (or 2.0t). Fusion has better fit and finish and more power. Lancer feels/sounds like a tin can.

2013 has a 2.0t + AWD. Every bit better than the RA. Interior, feel, power, transmission.

Smike is correct here. I mean look at that front end? That is all Aston. And Smike is not comparing the Fusion to an actual Aston Martin, just pointing out the fact that the Fusion is NOTHING like a Lancer.

This.

And in the Lancer v. Fusion. Lancer loses. Too econobox. Have a 2008 GTS as well as my 04 RA. And test driven many Fusions (have one now actually).

Step away from the keyboard and take a deep breath. I think SMIKE is more qualified than anyone to speak on vehicle comparison.

Some say he test drove the original Model T.
