Ford stretched the existing chassis for it's Fusion/Milan/Zephyr. But no body panels are shared. It would require new stampings.<BR/><BR/>That's why I say take the risk with the Milan. It could pay for itself.Big Ford Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649352599746912038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11852104.post-1140656163250198132006-02-22T19:56:00.000-05:002006-02-22T19:56:00.000-05:00Aren't the Mazda6 and Fusion/etc based on the same...Aren't the Mazda6 and Fusion/etc based on the same platform?<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about this last weekend sitting on a plane bound for Phoenix: Why doesn't Ford have a wagon and/or 5-door version of the Fusion triplets?
