Nice article. It's a shame that they are going with a V6, because they could probably keep the weight down on the nose by instead going with a turbo system (hey, it's the "in" thing to do right now to save fuel economy numbers too). I'll keep watching Suzuki. This is almost a car I might consider buying, but I know nothing about Suzuki cars general long-term reliability. Also, I wish they had made the nose more similar to the concepts for this model. It used to be beautiful and evoked a more futuristic version of say the newer Lincoln sedan grilles.

if the past is any indication there will be no gay options

Whats with Voldemort's nose? It looks more like Michael Jackson with no hair. LOL

and bring them to North America

yep the kia forte is lightyears better

Looks like a Honda Accord. Which means people may buy it, but I still think it's fugly.

I agree, this is a completely awful wannabe version of Top Gear. The track is FAR too small, they don't teach the people how to drive the track outside of the show, and the gimmicks on the track are STUPID.

Sometimes I really hate how dumb American TV is.

I would like the 2011 Fusion as 2.0 ecoboost, 5-door hatch, and a 6-speed dual-clutch w/ auto mode, with AWD.

Thanks!

I bet that it is a combination of some of those powertrain technologies not necessarily all of them that will make it into potential production cars. I would hazard a guess that the first model would be a plug-in electric / gasoline hybrid. What's unfortunate is that diesel is not listed anywhere there, because a plug-in electric / diesel would be interesting due to having more off-the-line pep and economy.

I doubt that's likely with Taylor making the game. I would expect maybe a better story-focused single player campaign similar to the Blizzard titles.
