2010 Ford Fusion Spy Shots




http://http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/14/spy-shots-2010-ford-fusion-snapped/

Looks kind of bland to me.....Looks like Ford could have injected some styling into it like they are with the upcoming Taurus.

Might not want to hotlink those pics they are copyrighted.

Car looks good, should be interesting to see what they did on the inside as well.

That front end is going to be a looker.

Looks good, its nice to see Ford keeping product fresh. Isn't the 2012 Fusion going to be all new also?

Take all that camo off , and u tell thats gonna be a really nice looking car . A nice departure from the quirky front end styling it currently has .

It sure does


I see the side mirrors are the same, and it looks like the doors haven't changed either. I wonder what other changes it will have? I hope they upgrade the DVD nav system. Mine doesn't have many store names on it, so search for a point of interest by name for stores doesn't help much.

OK - I'll be the first to point out a negative (IMO anyway)...

The doorhandles. They are gaudy.
Ford has had many handles over the last 20 years that are lower in profile, function well, and don't look like a 10" wart on the side of an otherwise impeccably smooth side of the car. Why can't they go to a nice sunken handle with flush-mount grabbers on a sleek car like this? For a truck or el-cheapo car - this might fly, but on a car as sleek as this - it sticks out like a turd in a puchbowl.

Everything else outside - schwing.

Ya know, I don't get the latest trend with the big grab handle door handle either. I like them on trucks and SUV's but why are they on cars now? What's wrong with the nice, flush ones from the 90's/early '00's (still on some rides today) where the handle is flush with the body, body color, and you just put your hand under and lift up???

I like it and I don't mind the doorhandle styel, it may stick out but there easy to grab like that when your hands are full.
