its a good contender, but the first generation fusion was awesome, boring enough yet sporty/luxurious looking enough to me in upper trims to be happy to keep driving it.

this guy is just, odd, plus i like gillette razors.

My wife has a 2009 Mazda 6. It is a great car and she loves it.

Personally, I like the new Mustang very much. Smaller, lighter, and better handling than the Camaro. Now, add a better power to weight ratio to it, and something tells me it will out accelerate it pretty easily, as well.

Camaro may be more attractive, but add in the fact that the Mustang will probably be cheaper, and I think the Mustang may be the better overall car...

I think the current Mustang is the best looking Mustang in years. And the addition of more power in 2011 will only make it more compelling.
What I don't like is the interior. It needs a more modern, less boring interior. If they could put an interior that resembled the Taurus' interior (and make the seat travel back further), then it would be a sweet car.

I'm with you on this, although I didn't really care for the exterior redo when I first saw it in the flesh, but it has grown on me. I do however like the new interior and I think on that, it's more compelling than the Camaro. The new 5.0 really looks nice, appearance-wise, the top of the engine has got killer good looks. Yes, it's still a tad less output than the Camaro but it's close enough not to matter, the car also weighs less and is a tad cheaper to boot.

I still prefer the Camaro as a point of conscience, but the Mustang, it kinda beckons.....

Ahh, I must correct myself, I mean to say that the new Fusion is odd. Much like the Taurus.

As also my comment went on to bring up how the front end looks like a razor.

The original Mazda 6 was a great looking car..and a lot of fun. My wife had a MazdaSpeed6 for a while and it was a pretty nice car. The new car is too big, and polarizing. The Mazda3 redesign was even worse.
