Ford fusion interesting grill
 
One day I have noticed on the road grill on ford fusion. Take a look how the grill is aerodynamically design. Ford has done pretty good job.

It looks nice, but with a drag cd of .34 it's really not too great.

i think its cuz its like window blinds, they look flat but the opening is on the bottom and it acts liek a scoop when air is comming over the car.

I noticed that too. They look great, and seem to have fairly narrow slits. It seems lately Ford has really stepped up their game!

Yes the whole front is blocked. The radiator is ice cooled (as in a bucket of ice water cooling the radiator) .
