If they are going to grab the more entheusiasts they need to pump out some more ponies.
The Lincoln clone with the 3.0L is just a joke. Why would anyone pay that much for that sort of drive train, when they can get all that in a vehicle 10 grand less!
Dont get me wrong,i'm not hating on the Fusion but its not exactly top tier when its paired against the competition.
I addressed this in another thread. I think Ford is going for the 'Ford in every garage' approach to selling cars. Good every-day cars that anybody can get some form of enjoyment out of. Good at everything, best at nothing kinda stuff.
Enthusiasts like use will always mod, so they don't really HAVE to put out an enthusiasts car, just a good platform to base one on. Let the aftermarket do the rest.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
