Folks,

In a month or so at the NAIAS, the 2013 Fusion is supposed to have it's debut.

What we know from the web.

* It will use the very good handling "Ford Mondeo" Chassis ( possibly new or upgraded )
* It will be 4 or 5 star crash Mulally will demand it.
* It will get 10 to 20% better fuel economy, (again Mulally demands ) the green car blogs are rumoring 48 mpg in the city for the Hybrid.
* It will have a good looking skin ergo the "EVOS" Show-car

>

Here is the EVOS of which it will get it's DNA

IMHO this Fusion will make the Volt about as appealing as Rosanne Barr...

Haven’t seen any in the SE. Will be travelling through NE this Christmas/New Year season. I’ll keep my eye out.

New York, Orange County area.
Could have been your typical brain dead “Daddy bought me the car and, like, you know, like *bubblegum pop* yeah, you know..” type.
Kinda scary either way.

SE Michigan has long been a bastion of non-reality when it comes to what the market in the wider country is actually buying and driving. I visit relatives up there frequently around the holidays, and it has been noticeably like that for decades. I believe this is part of the reason for the decline of the American auto industry. All the execs and engineers live in the same suburbs, shop in the same malls, kids go to the same schools, and everyone is driving American iron, and things looks OK. Meanwhile in Atlanta, Houston, L.A., etc., it’s a whole ‘nother story, and the Japanese and Germans are all over the place.

Yes, I agree. When I travel ( especially the East Coast) the preponderance of foreign iron is frightening, in the sense that the big 3 lost these customers over the last 40 years. Dang shame....
