Cool video, but those are the new 5.0 Fusions.

Those two certainly share the aero-themed lights...

The new "Pony Edition" Fusion looks like the product of a Hyundai/Fusion/Aston Martin/Subaru bender blend.

Blech.

Top picture is the exact car that started my Mustang issues except was 87 black with red interior and red stripe. Bought new in 87 when i was 17 fresh out of high school in electrical union. Traded my 1980 Brown and gold Z28 for it was presidents day weekend sale so they were approving anybody. Then 2 weeks later they called me said my financing fell through and they needed me to bring car back. So i was crushed drove it back and guess what they already wholesaled my Z28. So after many days of fighting we agreed they would give me great deal on a 85 Capri they had on lot so 2nd 5.0 in 2 weeks. Sorry to side track thread and won't get into rest of story. But kept Capri year or so then traded in for my 1st notchback 1989 bright red stripped with just AC and power mirrors.

Mike, that article made me laugh. The writer sounded like a grumpy old man wanting things the way they were in "the good old days" (solid axle, and straightline performance, etc. Yadda yadda yadda). Folks are certainly entitled to their own opinion about how the new car looks, and there's been plenty written online to argue both points. I would buy a 2015 in a heartbeat if I could, but I don't need one right now, and would rather put my money elsewhere (like college tuition payments). It WILL be interesting to see how the aftermarket responds with body kits to give the front-end a more aggressive look.

Don't be silly! This thread is all about getting sidetracked!

I thought it was funny, too! ( that's why I posted it).

For me, the new car looks ricey. To each their own, though.

I'm looking forward to my first sighting on the road. Jack has already seen one down in Charleston.
