Ford insiders reckon the Fusion - not to be confused with the blue oval"s slow-selling supermini-MPV of the same name - doesn"t reflect the look of the next Mondeo, due in 2007. The good news is that the all-new car is said to feature a far more radical design in a bid to take on Vauxhall"s restyled Vectra, previewed on Page 8.
