Talk about a beautiful car. If only they used the name of our reliable Contours, and sold them in America. If only it were a perfect world... sigh...

Lol, just check it out.

I might have to make a jump over the pond to get one of these beauties.

WOW it looks great! I may need to go down to Mexico and pick one up and bring it back!!!

Just wait till the Ford Verve comes out. Sucks we have to wait so long for it.

im not gonna slurp it's nurple just because its a ford...honestly, based on those pics i could take it or leave it...much like most of fords current products:shrug:

It kinda looks like any other car:shrug: I'm still looking for a REAL standout in the mid-size sedan class other than the 6. And even that slips into a crowd

 

[R-code]

Not thrilled by that at all.

Its old news. Unless you live under a rock I guess...

2.5L 5 cylinder:shrug:?

 

[DanMyers]

Yep, Volvo likes to be different I guess.

I love it, inside and out. The dashboard could be a little more refined (like the Taurus dashboard) but it's overall a beautiful car.

If the Mondeo was here instead of the Fusion, I might have given Ford a good look when shopping.

it's an S40 with a ford badge on it...i really like the looks of the car though. needs more turbo (doesn't say if it's turbo or not on that site) though.

 

[your maker]

looks like the c30 volvo to me......very european

Same engine they put in the C30, C40, and the new Euro Focus ST. Apparently it's a real hoot to drive.

I'd much rather have the t5 r motor with the awd as an option in that car though! :drool: Don't like the car that much but I'd love the powertrain.

No, I like it because it looks like they took our Contours, restyled them a bit and finally did something to beef up the suspension. Going from A to B is all I care about, and if it's as reliable as my 'tour I'll buy it in a second.

I don't live under a rock, watch Bond movies, or surf the net all day. BTW, cannondales suck.

Exactly!

Reminds me a lot of this old story

This also got me to snooping around... hows this for sweet 2009 Focus RS, turbocharged 2.5L 5cyl with 280HP and 295ftlb torque and did I mention it's going to be AWD. It's being dub'd the EVO/STi killer.
