Car enthusiast Richard Smith of Chicago stumbled upon a photo shoot for the upcoming Ford Fusion at Millennium Park in the Windy City . Chicago Police and private security guards kept spectators at a distance, but Smith managed to snap a few pictures as he quickly passed by.

Sharing a chassis with the Mazda6 and the upcoming Lincoln Zephyr and Mercury Milan, Ford's newest mid-size sedan will arrive for the 2006 model year. Although the chassis began with the Mazda6, the track has been widened and the suspension components are different - so this is actually considered a separate platform.

Codenamed CD338, the Fusion (previously referred to by a number of different names including Futura and Ford Four Hundred) will be front-wheel drive, while the upscale Lincoln version will be available with all-wheel drive. Power will come from a new aluminum 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, with an optional 3.0-liter DOHC V-6 available. A hybrid version to compete with the Toyota Camry and Honda's Accord will be available in 2007 for the 2008 model year.

The Fusion is expected to make its public debut in early January and will be built in Mexico along with its siblings.

Ford Fusion- HONDA WANNABE.....Look at it! It's trying to be an import! How cute! [8D]

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

it looks like a god damn cts. well at least ford is smart enough to give up on trying their own pos designs.

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

yeah it definatly does look like a caddy, that the 1st thing I noticed, I guess it really is a fusion..........of everyone elses designs.

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

I thought exactly the same thing when I first saw it

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

i agree with the honda comment...Especially the rear end....

but i dont care what it looks like..its another piece of ford dung.

I third the motion. Look at the taillights. They look like they were taken right off a Civic.:D

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:

two words for both

uh no

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

it still looks like ass even though they copied the cts, which i like alot. but again u cant expect much out of ford, if anything

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

My god Ford cars are ugly this time around. I've never been a fan of their designs, but these current ones are horrible. I will admit I LOVE the new Mustang. Looks like they dropped all their creative eggs into one basket!

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

My first thought was another VOLVO spin-off.

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! The only thing I see even remotely related to the CTS are the headlights. And if so, that was most likely a Caddy rip-off if a Ford design, not the other way around. Why you ask? Well because they used those headlights on the old model of the Fusion. :eek:

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

Actually, I personally don't care for the rear that much, but to me, it looks more like a Lincoln LS design and not a Honda product. Either way all three I would have to say look ugly.

Lincoln LS

Honda Civic


Either way, it seems everyone is going for that tail lamp type of look. The Ford five hundred is that way, the camry, the civic, the LS, the Subaru Legacy, a bunch more probably.

RE: 2006 Ford Fusion Pictures:
 

those caddy comments referred to this pictures, based on the horizontal lines in the grill, and the lights. i don't know old car(and i don't care to), so the only reference i have on lights are current models.
