| Looks about right but for one thing. Putting the Aura in a luxury group? More like it is a "Gen-I hybrid at the end of product window" mark.
I drove and saw the Fusion up close at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh last week. I don't think the plot is a temporary bump. It is very close to the TCH as far as performance and creature comforts. It is very quiet and performance is very similar also, with an FE that claims to be slightly better than the Camry, although I thnk I would like to see actual, acheived figures in that regard. I give the styling to Toyota, with the Fusion being just a little more "plastic" like in body appearance and trim. Power and braking are just too close to call, likewise handling. The Fusion rides better at freeway speeds and has better straight line tracking, but is a little more loose in turns and high speed corners.
