[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 11458372, member: 87570"] I too liked the new 2013 Fusion. The main problem I have with it is the lack of a V6. I drive a 2006 Mazdaspeed6 with 140+k miles. I'm kinda over the turbo 4 thing. I bought the MS6 because I wanted good mileage in a stylish and powerful car, but I'd prefer something more refined if possible. At one extreme, I like the new style Focus because the 37-40 mpg would be spectacular with all of the driving I do. However, the 160 horsepower is a big letdown. The compact size also makes me pause. At the other extreme, I've also considered the SHO, but the car is too heavy, with poor mileage and has an interior (where the extra size would be appreciated) that is disproportionally small compared to the titanic exterior. Along comes the new Fusion. It's stylish, has much better fuel economy than my MS6, and certainly can't have less rear leg/footroom than an SHO (although Ford wouldn't let us sit in one in Detroit:fm:). No power numbers have been released for the top-of-the-line 2.0 ecoboost, but that engine makes 240 hp in the Explorer and Edge. :sleeping: My MS6 makes 270. Current fusion competitors from T,H, and K also make 265-275. Come on Ford. We're not all tree huggers. Is it too much to ask to want a car at least as good or better in all catagories than the one I am replacing? If the only option is to give up something AND increase my depreciation expense at the same time, I'd rather just stick with my MS6. [/QUOTE]
