Im not spending 8 minutes watching that. 
Do you have a summary? I see a lot of those cars are choice for most departments to use for police and agency vehicles. |

What is said/not,what is shown/not shown,gives insight into the 'mind' of Ford Motor Company.
We get some glimpses of detail 'optimization'.It's all grist for the mill.

Heh. I always prefer to read instead of watch a video. When I was in Germany, one of my Sergeants would tell me they needed me to read something. They were always amazed how quickly I read it. To be honest, I skimmed, but reading quickly is one of my few abilities.
Remembering what I read is one of my many difficulties... slowing down does not seem to help at all.

Same here. Makes me a great for working with sensitive documents as I suffer from CRS and the secret will remain safe. I just read and get enough to do the task at hand, then its out the other ear.

Had my 2014 Fusion in the rain for the first time today. The air flow over the windshield was so smooth the rain drops were pushed up over the top of the vehicle that after about 45 MPH I almost had no need for the wipers. Never seen that happen in a vehicle before. I was impressed with the aero design that Ford has put into the car. Seeing the video this evening tells me why the water was blown away at speed.

Too bad the camera operator didn't know to show the back of the car the whole time of the smoke test.

I rented a 2013 Fusion and I absolutely loved it. A wonderful car. It made the 2013 Toyota Camry that I also rented look like a giant piece of junk.

Too bad they got rid of manual transmissions when they switched from the 1.6 ecoboost to the 1.5 ecoboost.
