The grill is pretty cool. The paint scheme? Eh.
What really bugs me is the name. Dodge has the Charger (great name), Chevy has the Monte Carlo (which stands for what exactly?) and Ford has the ... Fusion.
I can hear it now: "(fill-in-the-name-of-the-driver)'s Ford fused with the wall after cutting that tire on the backstretch."
That joke will be old by lap 100 of next year's Daytona 500.

As a big fan of the Bowtie, I'll be able to handle the joke all the way to Homestead.

If the Roush team is as strong next year as this, the jokes won't last to long. I agree the grill will set it apart. The Charger has done the same for that model.
For the casual fan that is an advantage and helps both NASCAR and manufactures.

Thanks for the comment, Marc. I'll get you on the blog roll when I dig out from today's madness.
Just wondering: You live in Houston? I was there three years a long time ago. (I'm a naturalized Texan and have the certificate to prove it.)
