2010 Prius and Fusion Hybrid side by side

[nineinchnail1024]

Wednesday, my mom bought a new Fusion Hybrid. After we got to her house, I snapped a few pics with my digital camera, which I then forgot in my mom's car. However, my wife got a few cell phone shots. They are crappy quality, but I'll post them here for anyone wanting to see the Fusion Hybrid and Prius side by side. The Prius is a blizzard pearl package 3 and the Fusion is a tri-white metallic with every option except for nav. To me, the paint looks identical. I apologize for the quality (the sun was going down, the camera phone sucks, and there were some bugs on the front of both cars due to the 40 mile drive home from the ford dealer).











And here's a shot of my old GEN II parked next to my GEN III (we happened to drive past it on an empty block behind the dealership where I traded it in, so I stopped and snapped a pic).



Again, sorry for the quality. Camera phones are poopoo.

Very nice!

The Fusion almost looks bigger. I do like the hatchback of the Prius better. There is a big difference in looks of the headlights G2 vs. G3.

Thanks for sharing.

I'd say the Fusion's paint is "whiter" and the BP is a bit creamier just from those pics.

Yup, I agree.

Thanks for the pics. :0

I really like the look of the GenIII over the GenII.

Here's a pic of the white Fusion I took when I test drove it. To me, it has a pinkish tint.

I prefer the BP!

A friend just got the Fusion and it's a very nice car. The electronics (nav, etc.) are amazing. I think that's the one area it has the Prius beat.

........til the first time it goes in for service. Again and again.
I'm sorry but their electronics are awful - and their service handling for folks after 36K is gut wrenching. You just don't matter to them after 36K.
Been there, done that. Never again -- and this was on TWO cars in a row. Not one experience. 2002 Mountaineer and a 2003 Lincoln Navigator.

Wow, sorry you had such bad luck. I took two mustangs well over 100k miles without any issues. I guess it's just the luck of the draw.

The LCD guage display is far and away superior to my prius display. We looked at a Milan Hybrid with nav, and I hate to say it, but it was far and away superior to the prius nav as well. I honestly like the design of my Prius better, as well as my MPG, but there is no denying that the Fusion Hybrid is a superbly built car. The fit and finish on that car rivals luxury brands that cost twice as much.
