What do get when you mix a DB9 with a Mondeo?

A redesigned Ford Fusion. Still confused? Ford has revealed the 2013 Fusion several weeks ago. Many pointed out that the grill looks very similar to an Aston Martin DB9. Looking at history, it makes perfect sense simply because a couple of years back, Ford did own Aston Martin. Then when spectators looked at the back they pointed out the familiar tail lights of the European built Ford Mondeo.
The redesigned 2013 Ford Fusion/Mondeo looks stunning... a mix of European styling with American boldness.

Although there are many resemblances between these three vehicles; Ford claims that the design itself was directly influenced by the Ford Evos concept, revealed in the Geneva Autoshow a year ago. By looking at the Fusion's headlights, it's obvious that their claims ring true. Set aside the looks, nothing else is really well known. Ford did claim that they will release a standard, hybrid, fuel frugal and electric versions of the model.

The Aston Martin grill suits very well on this car!
As for now, the Fusion's future looks bright, and with the redesigned Camry and Malibu, Ford seems to have a big foot in the door. Will it be on the top if the heap? Maybe, but we'll have to see the technical information to make a more promising statement.
