I think everybody gets that this is the "Americanized" Passat in terms of driving dynamics. I still do detect some european feel, though not surprisingly more Audi than MB, and mine replaces a BMW. Still, if you think this is soft, check out a Camry. I haven't driven a '14, but every Accord I have know has had road noise issues which would be a game-breaker for me. Also, the styling of the Accord, inside and out, has been all over the board for years. I like the Fusion, it is built to have the most "European" i.e. firm ride, and I like the look now, but I wonder how it will age. I don't have to wonder with the Passat, and neither do the three other six-footers and all the luggage they could want, who fit better in this car than anything other than an S-Class or a large SUV.
