I PURCHASED A BLACK FUSION SPORT WITH THE 3.5 LITER MOTOR WITH

280 H.P. AND THE SIX SPEED SELECT-A-SHIFT BOTH ARE THE ORIGINAL

POWERTRAIN OF THE LINCOLN MKS AND MKZ. IT IS AN AWESOME

LITTLE GROCERY GETTER AND HAS SWEET TECHNOLOGY LIKE ;

BLISS/BLIND SPOT ALERT , CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT , NAV. , SYNC AND

REVERSE BACK-UP CAMERA ; BESIDES THAT IT'S ALSO FUN TO

DRIVE AND IS VERY QUICK. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAR.

Drove one at the Ford Proving grounds in August quite impressed with how it handled & its finish inside & out. Should be a good seller for FORD

I CAN TELL ALL OF YOU THIS ; IN THE NEAR FUTURE ; APRIL OF 2010 OR

APRIL 2011 THERE WILL BE A FUSION MODEL THAT OFFERS A ALL

WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM THAT HAS TWIN TURBO'S AND THE ABILITY TO

TUNE THE PACKAGE TO OVER 450 TO THE GROUND ALL WHEEL H.P.


FOR NOW I AM ENJOYING THE CURRENT 280 H.P. 3.5 L SPORT VERSION.

I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE CONFIRMATION AND THE ORDER BANKS TO

OPEN FOR THE MODEL I HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT ABOVE. :drool:

:shift: I had a company car for years, logging about 60,000 miles a year, all in several Mazda 6s, which is the same as the Fusion (the Fusion is a slightly stretched version) and never had a single mechanical problem. The Fusion and the Ford 500, oops Taurus, are both exceptional cars that will probably go down as the cars that saved Ford. :happy feet:

This is a VERY deserving award to a company that has shown what a great mid-sized car is!! The Fusion is a wonderful car inside and out. That is the majority of what I am selling here at the dealership. I even had a Fusion Sport for a demo earlier this year. AWESOME CAR!!!! Can't wait to get my issue!

And Scotty, the 2010 Fusion Sport has 263 hp, not 280 hp. The 3.7L out of the Lincoln has the extra horses. :shift:

We just picked up a Hybrid. Ford claims 41mpg. and on a single tank of gas we got 600 miles on our first fill up . It has all the ford goodies bliss, navigation, sony radio, and heated seats. Ford is really turning the business around and building some awesome products.

The Fusion is one outstanding car. None of the foreign cars have anything on this jewel. And the Taurus is another outstanding ride. I had one for a company car for a year. The new Taurus is is even improved more than last years model What a pair of great cars.
