2013 Ford Fusion

[Silver350]

Is it me or does the new Ford Fusion look very similar to a Aston Martin? From the grill to the hood and even the tail lights

I thought the same thing, looks impressive.....

I got to say I am liking the looks of a lot of the ford Vehicles that are out today.

[WhatsADSM]

Looks as much like an aston as a lancer to me?!

Looks MUCH better though...

The same thing popped into my head, with how the lines of the grill follow into the hood.

I need to own a company to afford one of these. I don't think I've actually seen a DBS around Milwaukee, just Vantages.

I love the new Fusion....gorgeous car!

Ford has stepped up their game like no other over the past few years (maybe Hyundai).

[British_Ben]

Definitely a likeness. Ford still owns 12% of Aston Martin, although, I'm not sure if that has any bearing what-so-ever.

[Flicktitty]

Maybe the hood design, the rest is all Mitsubishi Lancer.

It looks more like the new Jaguar XF than the Evo. In the end its still a Ford.

[Waver]

I can see both vehicles in the new Fusion. It seems like the direction that Ford is going these days, make the vehicle look like one of its import competition. Case in point, has anyone seen the new Escape? it shares a lot of its lines with a CRV.

I'm not saying it looks bad...that's just what it is:

Chris that 4x4 is baller yo :-D

[DirtyMax]

The new flatter front end seems like it would have a lot of aero-drag, no?

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

Finally the fusion is gone away with the large bar grill. Car looked like ass from it's conception.

[GHOSST]

Now that's a nice looking affordable class car.

No gov'ment bail out? Impressive last few years? No coincidence.

Out of the big 3, Ford is bringing it. I'm a diehard Chevy guy, but GM has been nothing but disappointing lately.. Even Mopar has some impressive cars in the line up.
