Well, you can see where they got the HYBRID emblem from lol. It looks normal on a FEH but huge in a Fusion (Esp. next to the FUSION emblem)

Re: 2009 Ford Fusion Hybrid Photos
The 2009 Fusion Hybrid is rumored to run on "a brand new system dubbed “Gen II” – which is modeled after the Escape hybrid, but offers more US-sourced technology, better packaging flexibility, and better fuel efficiency."
http://www.autosavant.net/2007/09/pr...09-fusion.html Fuel efficiency should be class-leading then, considering the Escape Hybrid already gets (negligibly) better '08 EPA city fuel economy than the Camry Hybrid. |
Re: 2009 Ford Fusion Hybrid Photos
Considering that the Chevy Malibu Hybrid gets only 2 mpg more than the standard Malibu, don't hold your breath for the Fusion.
And be wary of the ol' Saturn-style mpg comparison -- where they build a 4-cyl. hybrid and compare the mpg to the standard V6. I give Ford a bit more credit than GM, since the Escape Hybrid has been in production for years now, and offers a real improvement in mpg. But, like GM, Ford is WAY late to the game on fuel efficiency. Toyota and Honda were hybrid BEFORE it was cool. |

Focus - 24/35 Civic - 26/34 Taurus - 18/28 Accord - 19/29 Escape - 20/26 CR-V - 20/27 Element - 20/25 Taurus X - 16/24 Pilot - 16/22 F-150 V8 - 14/19 Ridgeline - 15/20 Toyota and Honda were hybrid BEFORE it was cool. |

Re: 2009 Ford Fusion Hybrid Photos
It's good that Ford wants to *finally* compete against the Camry hybrid. If Ford can match the Camry's FE for a slightly cheaper price, or get a slightly better FE for the same price, they'll have a real winner!
