Fusions are so awesome... some people are just anti-ford so they will never get it.

i have read (some in ford publications some from car magazines) that the fusion will be offered in a two door version sometime, as well as turbocharging the 3.5 thats currently pushing 265hp in the lincoln MKZ... so picture this:

2009 ford fusion coupe... turbo 3.5l 6 cyl, 6 speed manual trans... and oh yes AWD.

can't wait.

I'm sure Mike knows that's a C6. Just a typo I didn't catch.

What the heck?!?! That IS a C6 Corvette, John said it was a C5 aswell! You guys should be ashamed of yourselves! Although there is a C5 in the background of that pic.

Love those RC cars. That must be cool to have someone else make a remote control version of Mr. Angry!

mike, whats the specs on that fusion? was it a 4 or 6 cyl? awd or fwd? I assume that since it was a rental, it was an automatic, right?

I drove the AWD V6 and was quite surprised at how comfortable it was. I was impressed with the AWD system. I thought it would still feel like a FWD with torque steer and under steer, but slam the throttle in a straight line, or throw it into a curve and you can actually feel the rear-end get grip.

I'm a ford guy, and as of late the only decent fords have been the trucks and the mustang. It's nice to see Ford finally have a decent family sedan (Thank god this killed off the original Taurus)
