LA Times says the Fusion incorporates European Flair, with Aston-Martin-ish open mouth grill and squinting headlights. Some think it looks like the Tesla Model S (which was actually designed by a former Aston Martin designer)

Here's the pictures and article quotes from LA Times

I just had a guy in a new Fusion tailgate me and pass me like an idiot. I don't want one anymore.

If you based your vehicle decisions on how others drive the same vehicle, I don't think there's any vehicle you could buy!

The middle engine is a 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbo — a tiny engine for a midsize sedan, but one capable of 179 hp and 172 lb.-ft. of torque. Ford expects that model to hit 26 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway
This is what interests me the most. Not too shabby from a 1.6L. Not a bad looking car either. Still way too early to tell what used car will replace my TSX in 6 years or so.
