OT: Ford Fusion looks dated

Apr 03, 2013 7 Replies

I like the look of the Nissan Qashqui and Ford Kuga, except I'd like something smaller.



The Ford Fusion has been around about 10 years without even a face lift.



It seems to me an updated Fusion might be just what I'd be looking for. Any whispers on something like this coming ?


They stopped building it last year and replaced it with the B-Max.

Not that either is a bad car but they are spectacularly fugly. The Kuga is the better of the two to drive, it's like a Focus on stilts.

And it has needed one since day one.

If you are just looking for a car that is more like a van, doesn't have 4x4 and is a clear statement that you have a wife and kids and moving pushchairs is more important than penis extension consider the Berlingo.

The old Mercedes A class and B class do the same job but don't quite scream "married with kids" as loudly. There's also the Golf Plus.

Thanks for the suggestions. The looks of the Ford B-Max didn't really do it for me. I suppose it could be considered a Fusion replacement. As I don't recall any TV ads

- it's not exactly been promted heavily. Thanks.

There are other vehicles in that market sector from other manufacturers. Virtually everybody's got at least one.

Some are, like the Fusion, van-looky-likeys. Others are less so.

Just a bit. It's a Fiesta-sized-and-based mini-sprogbus/tall-OAP-wagon. What else would you need, in order for your acceptance of that to be a little less grudging...?

Also the Skoda Roomster. Really weird looks but drives quite nicely (the

1.2 auto at least).

Then what about a Juke?
