Ford Fusion rips off Cadillac CTS

Po-thetic.

yeah, it does look very much like a Caddy.... i guess there's not enough originality over at the Ford design dept.

I saw the Fusion in real life and it's not bad at all, you'd be surprised how clean it looks...
Caddy is jut gross with that pointed nose

Four wheels... four doors... four seats... engine in the front...

There's only so much of a pallette to work with... some cars, unfortunately, are gonna look like others.

(I'm glad there's nothing that looks like a 911!!)

Say what you want, they dare to be original without going all Aztek. Beats Ford stealing Audi, or the Japanese and Koreans plagiarizing anybody they can find that sells a successful car.

If you don't want hardcore Art & Science theme (the harsh creases) style, then the STS is more rounded.

I thought the same thing about the Fuzion but I still kinda like it....and I am not a Ford man at all.
I think the new Mercury Montero is a great looking car. With AWD and a V6 it might be a fun car.

I looked at the Fusion when I was picking up my new Mazda5. The Fusion just seemed too "plain" to me... but another guy was talking to a salesman about it and sounding very enthusiastic. I'll stick to my microvan - 17" wheels, tiptronic, and a spoiler - I love it!

Aaron, how's daddyhood treating you? You guys getting any sleep?
