Since Roger's senility is starting to show, I deleted the old post and reposted it with the correct date so no one gets confused
That actually dawned on me while I was in the garage checking out the newest memeber of "THe Compound" this morning, Pinnacle "Souveran"  Thanks for the heads up Mark, can't wait to see that new ride when you sell the FSVT. Can you tell us what color your leaning towards, I like the color thats darker than T-Red

It may be just me, but I wouldn't sell a FSVT for a Fusion with my only option as an ATX - and no, the 4 banger with an MTX is no better. You'd have to throw a TON of money into it to make that porker fast.

Funny... you can get a 5spd MTX w/ the 2.3L. and there are a lot of upgrades for that combo and that engine responds quite well to mods. For under $4k I can be making a nice 250 naturally aspirated bhp with the Cosworth Racing upgrades or I can spend the same and make nearly 400hp with a Draxis or FS Werks Turbo setup. Then again I can do both...

I'd also like to point out that my insurance for a fully loaded 2.3L MTX Fusion SEL is nearly $50 a month less then my SVTF, I'll save money on gas, and my payment will go down a few bucks too.
I miss having a sedan and after driving both ATX V6 and the MTX I4 Fusions I'm really impressed by it.
If you really want to know, I'm in process of ordering a '06 Fusion SEL 2.3L MTX, Tungsten Silver w/ Black Leather. Current options are heated seats, audiophile 8spkr stereo, SEL premium option package, ABS. NO moonroof, NO premium active safety system (side curtains)
Basically I want sedan. I miss my contour, but I want reliability and be able to save a little money on operating costs. Not to mention I really like how the Fusion looks & drives.
