There's a Ford "insider" on edmunds.com that indicates there will be a ST version with the Duratec35 and approximately 270hp coming. There are also rumours of an SVT version being considered.
I am definitely hoping that a stick will be offered (there definitely will be a 5spd available for the 2.3L I4) otherwise it will be a deal breaker for me. I'm just wondering what the differences will be between the Mazda 6 and Fusion chassis. It would be nice to have some sort of ready-made aftermarket if/when I get mine.
