Thank you for the replies! I went for a small test drive last week end but forgot my tape measure. I liked the relative quietness of the car, but felt it was a little bit shorter in length and width than I expected from seeing pictures/reviews online. Then my wife wanted to check out the new Fusion. Beautiful car I have to admit. However not nearly as practical with no hatch (especially the smaller trunk on the hybrid Fusion). Now, if they made a Fusion wagon, that would be the ticket.
