    The rear end looks exactly the same as before.


    But, damn, if this thing can best the Camry Hybrid, Toyota might start to regret selling their system design to Ford. The front does resemble a pillow (though not as much as the old Saturn L-series did), but in Fusion form this is an attractive high-mileage largeish sedan.


    Bravo.

    @A strolling player, now with 100% more Studebaker!: the rear looks the same b/c it's a facelift. The bumper is different, but everything else is the same b/c to change more would have cost a whole lot more.

    whoa! a facelift that actually looks better than the original? Perhaps Ford can turn around...

    Yeah, wow, that is not going to help Ford's bottom line. Why is the nose so droopy and heavy looking? Why is the rear so, well, 1990's Hyundai? Taking a dull car and making it ugly doesn't work Ford. Remember the Scorpio? How'd that work out for you?


    When will they learn that cutting corners on a facelift shows? This is worse than Meg Ryan's lips.

    Personally, I think that nose is actually quite attractive. Again, however, I will need to see it in person. I said the same thing about the Ford Flex, and when I saw one in person I was decidedly less than impressed. Ford seems to make cars right now that photograph well and look great for a magazine shot... and look like rubbish in person.

    Is that Hydrogen or Helium Fusion? makes a big difference. Helium is twice as heavy, for starters...


    Now the serious questions:

    Can you see it in full sunlight or does it was out?

    Is this cheaper to make/install than mechanical gauges?

    Is there some inherent with the functioning of mechanical gauges?

    Does it respond in real time?

    Are the readings smoothly transitioning and stable, or does it vary everytime something changes by 0.0001 percent?

    Are they just jealous of the Camaro?


    And the real question:

    Can I slap this into my Lagonda?

    Yeah, but can it play any games? It would be cool for someone to hack and allow you to play iPod video though it... when you are stopped, of course.

    Does that run on Symbian OS? Pretty cool!
    You could add lots of other apps, themes and change the fonts.


    Imagine having to park your car to have a 'firmware' update.

    @pegasus_: Yes, a 'firmware' update could lead to a 'hardware' update. Parking is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Caution should be taken to ensure avoidance of 'offspring' virus.

    If you leave the headlights on or engine running and then exit and lock the car does it display this?


    Stop 0x000000CE or DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCEL... - This Stop message indicates that a driver failed to cancel pending operations before exiting.


    How about if your hungry or drunk.. does this show up?


    Stop 0x0000009F or DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE - The Stop 0x9F message indicates that a driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state.


    What if your short and can't reach the pedals..


    Stop 0x0000007B or INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE


    Does this display with an accident with public transport?


    Stop 0x0000002E or DATA_BUS_ERROR


    What if your a fashion merchant driving say.. the mustang..


    Stop 0xC0000221 or STATUS_IMAGE_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH


    The mind boggles.
