It's a decent design, but it's way too underpowered... and so is the Stratus sedan...
LMAO Matt said "quite fabulous"! [sm=happybounce.gif]

It looked great at the autoshow, quite fabulous just like the Lincoln Mark LT.

This isnt their top model car.....the equivalent of a Zephyr would be like a Dodge Stratus....a Chevy Malibu.....Ford's 500....Toyota Camry....
This isnt a V8 powered car, and like Matt said, they looked good at the auto show...the pictures were very nice.
The 300's, Charger do not play with these cars....and 205lbs of torque is actually not bad at all for a FWD car...considering the Dodge Stratus 2.7L V6 produces 200hp and 190lbs of torque...

Just like some of the MOPAR diehards on this board, there are FORD diehards who would buy it over a Dodge/Chevy.....
Never once did I say I would buy one or that it was the best car out there......and yet...I've seen worse...and you could do worse for a purchase....

The Fusion is just a Ford 500 with a nice front end and some groaty looking wood panels thrown in...all at a cost over the 300.
Haha. I was going to ask what was so lmao about it
$300,000 for a $150,000 Ford GT. That was some great pricing/gauging...

Ford has a 300 HP Fusion coming to a dealer near you, soon. SVT version. A small V-8 like the one in the last Taurus SHO is possible.

RE: This car is a POS
just my humble .02$,
in all the years I was associated with FORD, LINCOLN produced a number
of "thier doing it, we need to do it " spin off designs, pricing and styling
based on the LINCOLN name,but never really a unique design/powertrain ......seems FORD is still hunting for that
"magic combo " with the mid sized "high end" marquee
the last design/powertrain combo from LINCOLN that I was impressed with was the 93 MKVIII, 4.6 DOHC V/8 RWD
personally I am thankfull I have old MOPAR IRON to restore...lol....BUT ...the soon to be offered CHALLANGER (I hope)
now thats a different situation alltogether!!!!! (looks at salesperson )I'll take that one in triple black ,please !!!!

RE: This car is a POS
ORIGINAL: 97 3.5 Intrepid
Please tell me that they will use a displacement larger than 3.4L this time. That was such a stupid idea they had back in 1996. "Let's take a popular car line, take the performance model, add two more cylinders, but barely affect the displacement, so then it weighs more, sucks down more premium fuel, is so small that it has reliability issues, and gets its butt kicked by a supercharged 3.8L OHV V6 and is outpowered by a slightly larger 3.5L which has two less cylinders, gets better mpg, lasts longer, weighs less, and costs less. If they do it this time I hope they use the 4.4L version (an updated SHO V8) they are using in the Volvo SUV. Are they planning on offering it in either AWD or RWD. I know the normal model is FWD, but I'm hoping they have enough since to realize that it would have too much torque steer. Any manual option?
