Doctorproctor...I suppose it's easy to follow the status quo of downing any American product instead of seeing each vehicle at face value.

I find some Hondas enticing, some hideous, as with BMW, GM, Subaru, etc. Every car site is too full of biased, fan boys who don't have the cojones to think independently...you, sir are in that category.

I'm impressed with it. They finally took the new slotted grille design and made it what it should have been. The addition of projector headlamps is a nice touch as well. Sets it apart from the Camry, Accord, Altima crew and gives it a more upscale look.

Gotta say I am a fan. And if those taillights are LED, then kudos to Ford for finally putting them on a mainstream car. The Camry only has them on the hybrid. The Accord only used them in the refresh of its last gen Accord then lost them. It's about time others used LEDs more often in mainstream cars, the old bulb technology is getting boring. I wonder if BMW heard me say that, took them long enough to give a dual exhaust setup on a 3 that was not an M.

Front ends looks great side profile looks good too. I think the rear is a bit of a letdown but overall the exterior design definately gets a A grade from me.

The inside, I am disspointed with though. It didn't look too great when it came out. The steering wheel looks especially dated. They say the materials are nicer to the look & touch though. Best to reserve final judgement until seeing a real one.

Also great news on the powertrain front. 3.5L V6 and all engines come with 6-speed automatics.

Right now I wish I waited a while instead of buying my 08 Acura TL in July.

Ford is definately designing much better cars in the last few years, now with this redesigned Fusion, Milan, Lincoln MKS, etc. hopefully sales improve.

skinny, this is a good looking car yes, but stick with the TL. Different league all together. Apples and oranges. If you would have said you purchased a Camry, then yes, a second thought would have been in order.

Funny. Without Mazda this car wouldn't exist.

Definitely looks much better. However, I personally think black mesh grills, if done properly, add a much more sporting appeal to a car than fake chrome.

This is a nice redesign, but the Mazda 6 looks better. Still, good job, Ford.

It's a nice update. Hopefully the car drives as well as it looks.

"could be viewed as a poor man's" Mercedes, ergo the C350 Sport.

And even the C350 has fairly decent sporting credentials. The C300 flexfuel is the ultimate German Jokemobile.

So, this is the Saab 9-3, right?

Ford is doing work, and hopefully some of their work starts making them money again.
