If this drawing proves accurate, it looks like the new midsize models will combine a lot of what we see in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/focus">2012 Focus</a> at the front end with a greenhouse and rear stance that actually looks more like the current <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/taurus">Taurus</a>.<br />
<br />
The Fusion was Ford's first model to adopt the automaker's now ubiquitous three-bar grille design, but this rendering finally dispenses with that look in favor of something a little more <a href="http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/KineticDesign/mdp=v1204941954768">Kinetic</a>. We don't know if the production model will go this way or perhaps use the modified perforated version adopted by the latest Taurus and <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/explorer">Explorer</a>. <br />
<br />
The new Mondeo and Fusion will probably debut sometime later in 2011 and come to market early in 2012 as a 2013 model. <br />
