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.

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

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!

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.

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.
