The 2013 Ford Fusion looks pretty slick; the renders look fairly accurate based on the leaked camo'ed cars driving around. Has a bit of a Jaguar look to it.
The Fusion already drives well, now it'll look less dowdy. Looking forward to this, the redesigned 2013 Escape, and the 2013 Lincoln MKZ (major redesign). I wish Lincoln would make the MKZ a 4-door coupe style like the VW CC, but I think they're going the more conventional route.

[QUOTE=JasYHZ;14069840]Out of curiosity -- do you have any idea why National has so many unreservable classes? Seems like an odd thing to stock and categorize cars and then not allow people to pay to rent them...

Holy cow check this out, heavily redesigned 2013 Chevy Impala. I expect the rear to look similar to that of the 2013 Chevy Malibu, and borrow heavily from the Camaro. The side profile resembles the Lacrosse, down to the rear tailpipes. And the interior, wow! Stitched leather dash on an Impala?! This is going to be an even larger evolution than the redesigned Charger that debuted in 2011.
I might actually look forward to renting the Malibu and Impala now...I might like that interior better than the Buick Lacrosse's!

The 2013 Ford Taurus is going to have some serious competition!

The only recent cars that I haven't liked were the Ford Escape and Chrysler 200 Convertible. Looking at these new Impalas and Fusions, sedans are getting cool again.
And I, for one, welcome this. For the longest time, I drove a 2003 Camry. Talk about reliable but bland.
Now, I'm rolling a 2007 4Runner 4x4 Limited. To hell with being green.

2013 Cadillac ATS!
I'd very much like to drive this and the new 4-cyl 2012 BMW 328i.
Can't believe they're even offering the Malibu base 4-cyl in the ATS, ugh.

Very much looking forward to the 2013 Lincoln MKZ reveal on Tuesday; Lincoln needs a new direction, pronto, and people have said that Max Wolff's design is amazing.
