  • My biggest worry will be the pricing as I want this as a first car. Let's be honest, I don't want to drive a civic or accord.

    The current Fusion is priced so well. I saw a top sport trim, with AWD, and the top package priced at only 32k, which is only $2k more than my budget. I can't find anything else like it, ESPECIALLY WITH AWD!!!

  • isn't this all an illusion?

  • looks like a masarati

    

  • A good looking American car!!!! It can't be!!!

  • Looks like an Aston Martin 0_0

  • 2.5 liters 4 cylinder = 170 HP? ... what!? My BMW 520i gets 177 from a 2.0.

  • @kzil Your BMW is in a different class. Compare it to the Lincoln LKZ instead.

  • @gop4usa12 Sure, but an engine is an engine. 170 HP from a 2.5 seems a waste of displacement. Here in Europe the Fusion (Mondeo) comes with a 2.0T EcoBoost of 240 HP / 340 Nm.

  • @kzil It will only be for fleets, and someone trying to spend as little as possible. The "main" engine will be the 1.6 ecoboost.

  • @TaurusSHO97 Ok, that makes sense, thanks.

  • the car would look 100x better if you ripped off that ugly ford badge...

  • Seeing the '13 Fusion makes me glad I bought my '11. I like the '10 and '11 because it really stands out. This '13 like (just another) car. And how did they manage to downgrade the power on the 2.5?

  • @gop4usa12 Did this info come straight from Ford? Let's wait and see.

  • prefiro o antigo na moral

  • Ford is really stepping it up good for them

  • Anyone else think it looks like an aston martin?

  • That is one sexy car

  • You people are obviously mad. Stick those shitty mid-sized sedans you drive up your ass! Ford wins.

  • the only new cars i see popping up are cheap tiny cars. seriously the main car buyers are like 35-60 they don't want all that techy crap.

  • Ford is confused.

  • So many trolls here lmao

  • Ah man if that guys pissed off at him for saying the car is beautiful i wonder how pissed hed be if he heard my opinion on that pointless piece of plastic american shit.....

  • noooo kia copys off everybodys bodys

  • very ugly.. If it's not broke,then don't fix it. I think it's a big mistake with this body style, but hey what do I know.

  • @mjwible27 nothing obviously..

  • @InWithJoshHen says the wussy sitting behind a computer screen going around trying to be a cyber bully, but in person I bet you're just a little bitch, but hey I'm not telling you anything that you already don't know.

  • @mjwible27 Damn, Who didnt love you as a child?

  • @InWithJoshHen all I see is some silly little turd trying act tough behind a computer, have a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up, and be on your way fruit cake.

  • @mjwible27 Mmmmm.... Fruit cake.

  • when aston martin starts making a family saloon i'll start giving a shit.

  • ford put a lot of work into the styling

    it must be tough to copy every aspect of the kia optima

  • @bloppolblopplob Haha. I loved your comment!

  • @bloppolblopplob U fail. The design would have been finalized before the Optima even debuted.

  • @bloppolblopplob You are stupid. Try Mondeo + Taurus = Fusion. Ford had this designed way before the Optima was thought about.

  • The ford fusion resembles the volvo xc90 from the rear fuck YOU FORD cant you think for yourself and think of your own designs!!!!

  • Ford and Chrysler are finally coming out with some nice cars!

  • Looks so much better than the previous generation.

  • Ok I doubt SERIOUSLY if Aston Martin is even slightly upset. Who in their RIGHT MIND would turn down an AM for a Ford Fusion just because it's cheaper! People who are in the market for an Aston Martin could careless if this Ford looks like an AM. THEIR NOT LOOKING IN THAT DIRECTION ANYWAYS!!! Hey I don't have a 100,000+ to spend on a 2 SEATER but I still want a car that looks like it could cost more than my budget!

  • Hey everyone, Aston Martin ain't mad, so why are you mad? Just because 10% of this car somewhat resembles another brand doesn't give you the right to start screaming "false!".

  • The body shape is still different than an Aston Martin. I think it looks really good, if not, even better than an Aston Martin.

  • I was hoping ford would have put the 3.5L ecoboost in the Fusion. Maybe i'll just look into a fiesta ST. I'm sure the 2.0L could be modded into 300whp pretty easily.

  • The front end, kinda resembles a Aston Martin

  • Im glad ford is steping up their game and trying to be the best its a major improvement from last generation

  • @southkoreaa123 It was the Government and Union's fault that they weren't so good then. Just to remind you.

  • Shit 44 MPG for hybrid?

    It's official. The 90s road trips are back again!

  • i dont know why everyone hates it. yea the grill might look a little like an aston, but thats not a bad thing. i dont think it looks like an am that much. either way it still looks good and its certainly an improvement over the last gen grill. hey if i can get something that looks like an am but around 200k cheaper who cares?

  • Front = Aston Martin

    Rear = Kia

  • @TT01RCDrift rear is from the european mondeo from ford, so i think kia actually stole that.

  • @hmbam1 Oh, that's why... KIA is stealing everything!

  • @TT01RCDrift my thoughts exactly. and just when i thought ford was done copying other people.

  • @wheeljack1227 Yeah...

  • Comment removed

  • Copy Jag much?

  • if you're gonna bitch about design similarities between different car makers/brands at least be consequential!because there are quite many models that could easily being mistaken for something else these days,don't just do it because you dislike a certain brand! plus the wide open "gaping" mouths grilles also quite run in fords` tradition, if you'd actually know history and look at Mustangs and Shelby`s from the '60s. but i see that all the bitching is mainly done simply for the sake of bitching

  • @CHUUMPASS Put down the bottle.

  • those who bitch about similarities to others brand`s styling features, in this case the aston martin grille, you need to pay close attention to actualy shapes before you start talking bandwagon bash. you can clearly see the shape of the new fusion grille to be on earlier models only placed below, as the lower grille! this deserves the name fusion since it actually fuses the ford kinetic design language with that of the more traditional american design features of the brand.

  • Wow, this car's awesome! A Rapide, an A6, an EVO and a Jag XF! I'm seeing angles from every car I've always want to have but never wanted to pay for because I'm a broke lazyass. They should rename this thing the 2013 Ford Megavideo!

  • @mack2m lol. If this had been an Asian brand, the Ford fanboys would be singing a very different song. I'll admit that this is one good looking car, but only because they're using the best designs of other car companies.

  • @mack2m well, Ford did own Aston Martin and Jaguar before..

  • We'll see how well this car actually is. They said the same thing about the 2012 Focus and I personally own that car and it is WITHOUT A DOUBT the WORST car i've ever owned.  I've had it into the dealership 20 times since owning it (8 months) all for the same rattle issue and Ford refuses to replace the car or drive it for a week to verify the noises (even though they've verified them in the past). Ford really let me down and based on how i've been treated I'll never be a another Ford owner.

  • @bond85007 yeah.. thats what im wondering.. my aunt bought a 2010 fusion and didnt even have it for 4 months before she had to get the transmission replaced.. What car does that now days??

  • i star to like american cars more and more and i'm not an american

  • A reasonably priced family saloon (sedan for those less cultured) that looks like an expensive premium sports car - what exactly is the problem with that? I do wonder how the miserable disenfranchised of this world did their whingeing before the internet was invented!

  • Right when I was warming up to the 3 bar theme. At least get rid of the horizontal lines that's what's sealing it as an Aston Martin rip. The grille looks damn good here don't get me wrong but a rip is a rip.

  • what a blow for intellectual property. i think ill paint a new mona lisa and only charge 200k for it. and they're worried about INTERNET piracy?

  • Ladies and gents today we introduce to you the new 2013 Aston Martin !!!!

  • Besides that it looks like an “Aston Martin” I don’t like that the front door glass is divided in two parts and it should have had a bigger whiles, but in all I would consider it!

  • The face looks more of a Mitsubishi Lancer (Not Evo) with a wider grill.

    And the rear looks more of a Audi A6 (brake lights).

    And people, I don't think the production car will have the same chrome grill like you see in the video.

    So relax.

    That 1.6L I4 EcoBoost sounds promising btw.

  • Every car on the market today has similarities to others. It is inevitable. There are only so many design patterns that people are comfortable with and most are destined to be repeated. This car is no exception to that rule. So everyone, STFU.

  • It look beautiful but it's not belong to Ford....LOL

  • Ford is doing great things in this industry and that new Fusion! Whew that's a real winner. Keep up creating the standard of excellence FOMOCO Alan, William, and Mark. Even though there are many who will always look down on this company and the impact that is undeniable in this industry because of their blind love for anything foreign, you have and will continue to push this industry to new heights.

  • It seems like everyone I've talked love this car except for this people in this video bitching about the grille. If you go to just about any automaker, you could point out something that looks like it was stolen from someone else. Like the Sonata Hybrid looks similar to an XKR, the Accord concept looking like a Kia Forte, and the Forte in turn looks like a previous generation Civic, the Hyundai Genises looks like a knock off Mercedes etc. You guys need to get over it.

  • If you guys did your research Ford still owns a small part of Aston Martin...

  • @DreamerByDay95 They don't have a controlling stake in Aston Martin. Many car companies have a small ownership in other car brands, but that doesn't give them the right to do whatever they want. But I wouldn't care if Ford had 100% control. This just shows that Ford has no respect for other brand names by letting a bunch of uncreative brains design this car. Almost every single part of this car is taken from other cars...Audi A6, Jaguar XF, Mitsubishi Lancer, Aston Rapide...

  • Ford was the first with the rear design of the Fusion. Just look at the current Mondeo. It had that design way before the Kia Optima or Hyundai Sonata did

  • Frond Aston Martin, Back Kia Optima... Ford way to go!!! :D

  • @pedro125252 The back looks like the Ford Mondeo to me.

  • Then Ford dumbasses complain Hyundai copies designs... LOL Ford way to go copying an Aston Martin.

  • Most haters should just get over that grille. It looks great even if it vaguely resembles an Aston Martin grille. That doesn't mean this is just a rip off, actually every car maker has its rights to design their cars the way they want and I know we have to be original but I've seen lots of cars which are more rip offs from other cars than this car is from an Aston Martin. Asian automakers are experts copying others and nobody complains so chill out and stop crying

  • @luisinhoens90 What??? "Nobody complains"? Many people complain about Asian brands copying other brands. I'm sure you have pointed out Asian brands copying other brands many times. If Ford does it, why can't you be consistent? If it's wrong for Kia, Hyundai and Toyota to copy other designs, it's wrong for Ford. BTW this isn't just any old grille, it's Aston Martin's grille. It's what makes an Aston look like an Aston. This wasn't an accident, it's pretty obvious what Ford did.

  • @1225mack

    I won't argue with you for a front grille on a car that looks more original elsewhere (exluding the aforementioned grille) than some other vehicles which are way more rip offs from one or several cars. I don't blame if you are jealous because this car is arguably better looking than any other midsize in the road (although Kia Optima is gorgeous too), a resembling grille from an Aston Martin doesn´t make this car a rip off and I'm sure it'll be a big hit. Get over it

  • It has Mitsubishi headlights, and an Aston Martin grill, for me its gonna take some getting used to, and seems like they need to put out a performance sedan, either for Ford, or Lincoln, that cranks out at least 300hp, and 270-300lb ft torque to compete with BMW, AUDI, MERCEDES, and CADILAC. Im not hate'n its just Ford can do alot better on performance sedans.

  • Comment removed

  • It looks fantastic! Why are you complaining???

  • @23aterro BECAUSE IT'S NOT FORD'S DESIGN. THEY STOLE IT FROM THE ASTON.

  • Can people stop bitching about the grill? It looks awesome STFU.

  • All you dumb areses out there, it doesn't look one bit like a aston, so shut the fk up and enjoy the video!

  • Not feelin it.

  • I really don't like the car it seems like all car companies care about is mpg and not performance the era of performance is now starting to die out very quickly and that makes me really sad ... We won't hear those inline 6 engines revving or those glorious V8 ... Makes me really sad in hopes for the future

  • I like Ford, but I'll need to agree with the people calling it a copy of Aston's front. Ford sold that brand, they don't own it. If they're going to use it for their cars, they're going to get crap from people because it makes them look like they have no fresh thinking. BTW I also see some Jaguar XF in this design.

  • The best looking mid-size sedan I have ever seen, I don't give a damn where they got thier inspiration. Watch out, the next gen Fusion and Malibu look pretty nice, it's about time US car makers caught up to everyone else.

  • I don't care if Ford owned Aston Martin. Their designers couldn't come up with anything new. AM has had that mouth for longer than most of you have been on this earth and well before Ford had anything to do with the Aston brand. Ford owned the AM brand, but that doesn't mean they should be imitating designs. If Mercedes Benz wanted to start using Jeep or Dodge front ends on their little Smart cars, would it be okay with everyone? Remember... Daimler OWNED CHRYSLER!

  • @emdec55 cool story bro

  • @emdec55 Whos cares if they imitated the design from Ashton Martin?! For the first time ever, a manufacturer has designed a hybrid vehicle that doesn't look like uber shit! It looks good and they claim it can get 100mpg. They could put a Oldsmobile hood ornament on the damn thing for all I care. That car is dope!

  • @emdec55 You must be mad?? You Hurt?? Too Bad...the Fusion is here to stay!

  • @emdec55 i honestly think it looks more like a jag xr series

  • @emdec55 everyone is going after the same look now and days.... i mean look at the new dodges. they look like this to. AND aston martin is doing the same exact thing look at their smart car... looks like a fiat dosnt it? o wait it pretty much is all they did was rebadge it.....

  • MESSAGE TO ALL DIPSHITS!....Ford OWNED Aston Martin until 2007 and they still retain a minority stake, so they have every right to have INSPIRED design elements. They also owned Jaguar and Land Rover until 2008 and Volvo until 2010. So all you people who are blabbing about Ford copying designs from other brands, SHUT UP, because they owned half of the sh!t they reflect in current designs! And be glad it looks like an Aston Martin! You get higher-end design and quality for your money!!

  • The world has officially met the Camry killer !

  • omg all you fuckers saying shit about how this looks like an Aston martin should realize that that is a really good thing.. cuz lets face it YOU could NEVER afford an Aston Martin.

  • i dont get y everybody is complaining that this car looks like an Aston-martin, Aston's are widely regarded as the most beautiful cars in production... so your all pretty much complementing this car, which is absolutely gorgeous btw.

  • Aston Martin head!

  • People don't know shit about Ford. All you assholes saying "Ford stole the design from Aston Martin" you dumbasses, Ford owned Aston Martin at one point.

  • @MrCleanPolo Yea.. they bought it long enough to take rights to the designs, and dropped the company. Shame, really.

  • @MrCleanPolo Intelligent Comment. Thank you for teaching idiots. <3

  • @MrCleanPolo "Ford owned Aston Martin" Yes, and then they sold it. So what's your point? If I owned and sold a house to somebody, does that give me the right to bust open their front door, raid their refrigerator, sleep on their bed and watch their home videos on their 60" TV??? I owned the house at one point, didn't I? I guess that still makes it my house!

  • @klzlk000 Horrible comparison. Raiding a fridge in your old house is completely different from finding inspiration in other designs. In fact, your statement makes it sound like Ford is stealing from within other companies, and that of course, is false.

  • @actionguy87: lol And since when is it a bad thing to get inspiration from a 300 thousand dollar car? The Ford fusion is a 20k budget car.

  • Beautifulllll!!!!!!

  • looks like an aston... they're ugly

  • Glad to see Ford was able to infuse some style into a mid-market car.

    I think it will be a big hit.

  • If I was Ford and I paid billions for a car company and they lost me money I would get even with'em, Aston Martin is wasting those good looks on a car nobody can afford, and Ford has taken the best design elements from several carmakers and combined them into a very attractive car, the grille looks similar to a car company they owned, Fords cabin tech is tops and so is their fuel efficiency, you know the old saying, don't knock it till you've tried it, genius.

  • Brava Ford,molto bella questa Fusion-Mondeo!!

  • Aston martin called, they want their front grille back

  • @rysnyper50002 the 90's called, they want their joke back...

  • @rysnyper50002 Unintelligent comment !

  • @rysnyper50002 ford owned aston marton asshole.

  • i think ford is making a mistake trying to sell this car as mondeo in europe. this car has a shape that is geared towards style rather than practicality. europeans are tall and won't really enjoy that nissan altima like sloping roof in the back.

  • from looking at it for just a few seconds i can already see they took design cues for the front facia from aston martin and mitsubishi, for the headlights from mitsubishi and bmw, and for the silhouette and tail lights from audi. no creativity whatsoever - pure imitation. but at least it looks well executed.

  • SEX BOMB.

  • And a lot of attention was paid to interior noise levels, and engine noise, as well as ride and handling

  • Poor man's aston.. I seen someone say something about the 2013 malibu being a poor quality car? It's actually going to have brand new engines with more hp and the 2.0 turbo will make 270 hp. Same engines in the new cadillac ats.. plus the interior quality will surpass or be just as good in quality as its competitors

  • The chevy cruze has a "design line" that looks "very german". What does "very german" mean? An extra $20-40K that comes with more powerful engine, better interior and the BADGE of course to show everyone. And not always better exterior styling. Maybe BMW should sue Chevy! It sounds like any american car that dares try to improve their styling is trying to be "german" (only good looking cars around?!) Sounds like boring BMW 3 series owners are little upset that a "Ford" is turning more heads.

  • Baby aston martin lol

  • I would take a 2013 Ford Fusion + $15K over a boring looking BMW 328 sedan. The Fusion looks better and $15K is $15K.

  • @Bflo23 i have had a ford for a few years and a bmw for a few years. comparing a ford to a bmw is laughable. bmw is like a teenager - tight, smooth and fast. if you drive a bmw stoned you feel like you're piloting a space ship from the future. i agree with you in that most people ( including myself ! ) would be better off saving the money towards something else ( hookers and blow, or maybe organic food ) but the point remains that the two are beyond comparison.

  • WTF. This car look like a hybrid between an aston martin and an audi. Really, WTF ford? Can't you be more creative or original with your desings? And the sad part of the story is that people will buy it.

    God I hate american cars that looks like european cars. It is the same with the chevrolet cruze, it wants to be a bmw. WTF. American cars wont ever have the quality and elegance of german cars. So please desing american, do not try to imitate what you are not.

  • @nekofer

    What does an american car look like? What does a european car look like? You are complaining that Ford is trying to improve to make their cars more sleek. Lets make Ford cars more boxier and "less elegant" because that is what you and the people want?! "American cars won't ever have the quality and elegance of German cars." It sounds like you got ripped off with one of those German cars. If you feel better because you spent an extra $25K for a car, so be it.

  • @Bflo23 if you have to ask "What does an american car look like? What does a european car look like? " and say "You are complaining that Ford is trying to improve to make their cars more sleek" I'm definitely wasting my time with you. And no, ford it's not trying to improve it just copying. Of course they can try to "improve" but don't copy please. Don't you read and see? It does look like a cheap four doors aston martin. And if you don't see it, you don't know much about cars. Sorry

  • @nekofer

    And you said that the Chevrolet Cruze "wants" to be a BMW?!.... Really? They don't look alike. I don't think anyone mistaken a Chevrolet Cruze for a BMW.

  • @Bflo23 no one could ever mistake a bmw with a chevy cruze. Duuhh. I'm just saying that has a design line, outside to be precise, that looks very german. And again, if you don't see it i'm guessing you're not very picky when comes down to cars. So be free to buy your american cars. Everyone with their own choice, but you can not denied the european influence on this cars, insted of saying the copyness. And last, don't you dare to ask me "what does asian cars look like?"

  • I'm sorry, but I think they ruined the looks. It looked great before, now it's......blech.

  • It's underpowered.

  • I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This Fusion surpasses the 2013 Malibu. Far as looks and quality goes..more than likely reliability too because GM can never make a great car.

  • Checharin4 your very mistaken that is what you get when you buy any GM made car Fords are the best

  • Sign me up!!

  • 4 doors Aston Martin lol

  • @TheSupraTRD this ford fusion is like a budget version of the Aston Martine Rapide (4 door aston lol)

  • gonna get that and replace the emblem with the Aston Martin one ;)

  • Fixing

    Or

    Repairing

    Daily

  • @checharin4

    dumbass

  • I'd buy it if the ford logo wasn't on it.

  • @donnakrus thats just retarded.

  • Just on styling alone, I'm very impressed. Looks very good. They took some cues from Aston but damn thats not a bad thing. Compared with the Concept Accord and New Camry this would be my pick if asked which one looks best. Fords quality rep is getting better some look out Honda and Toyota. Competition is good for us consumers.

  • Are fords reliable?

  • My top 3 (around $25K) sedan cars for exterior looks.... 1. Ford Fusion... 2. Hyundai Sonata... 3. Nissan Altima... (I don't like toyota camry, volkswagen passat and honda accord exterior looks). And comparing the interior, I think Nissan Altima has the best interior but the Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata are both nice as well and are tied 2nd.

  • This is to aston martin, what 300 is to bentley, you can tell the aston martin team influenced some design like grill and tail lights

  • @PhatMikeSP1 oh uk it, i instantly thot aston when this rolled up.

  • looks like a squished taurus with an austin martin grill...no thanks....i like my old fusion better

  • 100 miles per galon?

  • @22bryant **100 MPGe

  • Looks like an Evo in the front , and a jetta on the rear, fugly car

  • Why does the new fords look better then lincoln. Smh

  • Home run....just like the Focus.

  • Man I love this car! I think I may like it more than the Taurus, which if you knew me, you'd be asking if I were alright lol. I've loved the Taurus all my life, but this is amazing. Can you say hello to the new best selling car in America? I think yes! The MKZ looks great too. If the MKZ isn't built in Michigan, the Fusion could very well be the car that replaces my Taurus.

  • Fiat Linea! OH wait..

  • Aston Martin grill lol nice.

  • this new fusion is copied from aston martin/ audi/ jaguar. what a scam

  • @dude5045 Can't copy what you have the rights to. Ford not too long ago owned both Jag and AM
