Actually most of the exterior styling of the 427 concept became the new Fusion. It's the new "cup" car, here is a pic during on track testing. :D

Focus+Five Hundred=Fusion

Ford is doing what dodge did in the early/mid 90's...make every car look exactly the same
It's Gumby's fault.

Exactly, the rear of the thing is a Focus.

The Fusion is still better than the Taurus it's replacing...most critics see the Fusion as the key to revitalizing Ford, if it's a hit. That doesn't mean you have to like the styling, but as all the vanilla lemmings that buy an Accord or Camry know, styling sometimes isn't as important in a class segment.

While we're on the subject of styling, a lil' tidbit from The Car Connection:

Ford Takes New Design Direction

Is the iosis the shape of things to come from Ford? The sleek and muscular gull-winged concept car Ford unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week isn't likely to hit showrooms anytime soon, company officials caution, but it's likely to have a serious impact on a company often accused of falling back on boring design.

"There will be no more timid cars" from Ford, the automaker's chief operating officer, Jim Padilla, told TheCarConnection.com during a discussion in Frankfurt. That message was echoed over and over during interviews with senior Ford managers, including the carmaker's design director, J Mays.

In a candid assessment of the work done since he joined Ford seven years ago, Mays admitted his team "has made some mistakes. We've been too conservative, and as a result, we've been criticized for being too bland."

In terms of styling, the work done on products like the full-size Five Hundred sedan "definitely doesn't deserve an 'A,'" though critics would probably question the "B+" Mays then assigned himself. Quibbles aside, Mays made it clear he's heard critics' concerns, and will be pushing closer to the edge of the envelope over the next few years.


Sheeeyah....we'll see there, J. :rolleyes:

And yes, the GTO design pissed me off too. Let's hope the new one isn't such a let down.

And I happened upon this, and thought you guys would love it. :giggle:

I like "the next few years". Okay, so they have the new 500, the Fusion, and the Focus was redone recently. The range would probably be within the next 5-7 years before these bland looking cars are updated. That's just a wee bit more than a few years.

An accord race car. Ugh :disappoin
Well Toyota is coming in somewhere around 2007, so that wouldn't be surprising.

Toyota's been in the tuck series for a little while which is something I don't see Honda doing. Could you see a Ridgeline Supertruck :giggle:
