We are sick and tired buying coupe style sedan

The" C " pillar is too drooping affecting rear passenger headroom and rear spaciousness . Just how much fuel can we save from non functionality aerodynamics if we are travelling below 110km /hr.

What a loser in the making? look at Volvo line up when they started making drooping 'C' Pillar for S60 , S40 and S80 sedan, Volvo Sale had not been very favourable with traditional Volvo buyers lately compare to the hey day of Volvo 122, 144 , 240 , 850 and 940 sales . Consequently , Volvo car corporation lost many sale and at the end Volvo had to be sold to Geely to avoid further loss making .

Even the Mercedes CLS are not selling as favourable compare to the 'E' and 'S" class model .

4 door coupe saloon design is trendy without a suitable functionality and hence only pleases the minor buyers selling in small numbers without economy of scale . Ford will lose more monies rather than making monies in the end.

My guess is this shape will be the basis to the next Fusion that will arrive in around 2012/13

And Ford's current financial position is pretty good even compared to the likes of Honda and Toyota given the disparity in benefits

the car has to be built here as the pound/sterling vs the dollar would make them too expensive to import, the fusion is just fine, saw one with the euro factory alloy wheels, vary hot car, too bad the old ford excs gave us a crappy looking focus but fear not , the real one is comming

ford is sooooooooooo far ahead of the curve compaired to the other big 3 as well as some of the imports , maybe all of them, we euro styles cars NOW but in the next 2 model years, the new and REAL focus will be here as well as the fiesta, bring them on, ill buy one as long as the dealers dont continue to kill the ford brand with area adjustment stickers and other B S> added to the price. attn ford , get you dealers in line and put them on a short rope- (they are killing you) and ill buy one, ps “the new fusion is vary cool

The thing that is funny is that Ford will not bring this vehicle to the U.S.
Which explains it's financial woes. This automobile is more appealing than the Fusion or upcoming Taurus. Why not bring it here as a Fusion and update the Tauras and base it on this design……no brainer

I really like the design of this Ford four door coupe looks very sporty. I saw this at the car show it looks awesome specially its interior.

Ohh, I think my left testicle bust, didn't need that one any way. hey ford when you were building crappy wannabe Jags, you should have made this through a Jag leaper on it then brought that to America. If you get out of your own way you might make some money. Fusion is fugly compared to Mondeo.
