This was done by AutoExpress. It's a combination of the spy photos and Evos concept. Like the insider says - it's close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it looks like this. I thought they were going to go with the focus style front end which would have turned me off of the fusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoxr1 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Here's the back end shown on AutoExpress. Clearly photoshopped from the Evos, but a lot better looking than the present Mondeo shots that are floating around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyToronto Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 LOL, chopped up Photo Shopp'ed photo of what it could look like..lol.. I guess we will need to wait til later close to release date I am sure we'll see real spy photos. If it looks close to the PhotoShop photo I like it but if it's anything like the Focus, No thanx. I don't like the grille nor the tail lights of the Focus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss the quote above from someone who has actually seen it? We've seen spy photos but they're heavily camo'd and some could be testing mules that don't have all the new parts so it's hard to tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CN87 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Is there a rumored press release date of this vehicle? I'm guessing an autoshow, but which one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyToronto Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) The more I look at the pic of the tail lights the more I see a resemblance to the Sonata. I love the rims on the car in this pic. As long as they don't make the front as big as the Sonata, it will be nice. When I drove the 2011 Sonata it was like like driving a boat. Funny how style fades though. When i first saw the Sonata last year I loved it, now I look at it and say Blah! Why can't consumers just custom make their own car. Now that would be just awesome!

JoeyToronto Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Ford is taking its engine downsizing strategy to extremes with the next-generation Fusion mid-size sedan, with plans to offer a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder version. That may sound unbelievably small, but the engine will get Ford’s EcoBoost technology with turbocharging and direct-injection and should deliver roughly 180-hp. In addition, Ford will also offer a version of the 2.0-liter Ecoboost 4-cylinder that has just been introduced under the hood of the 2012 Explorer and 2012 Edge. In the Edge, that engine makes 247-hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, more than enough for any mid-size sedan. In order to get the most fuel economy from this new model (which is expected to grow slightly from the current Fusion), the 2013 car is expected to get start-stop technology as well as grille shutters that close at speed to help improve aerodynamics. Look for the 2013 Ford Fusion to bow at the Detroit Auto Show this January. Recent (Sept 30) Spy Photos if you can try to see through the car coat. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2013-ford-fusion/#photo-4491183 Can't wait to see it already!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
