maybe the 3.5 for the fusion isn't far behind, since they are basically the same car. Sucks that no svt versions are coming, svt would have souped up the 3.5 nice .



Does it matter that there is no vehicle named the Fusion SVT when, for all intents and purposes, a Lincoln MKZ is exactly that?



Of course it does.

Would it matter if there was no 350Z when, for all intents and purpsoes, a G35 is exactly that?

They may have the same underpinnings but they're different cars aimed at different groups of people. Do you think the same people looking for a Fusion SVT are looking for the looks both inside and out (especially the inside) of a MKZ? Does light leather and dark wood accents scream "SVT" to you? How about soft suspension? Light, Numb Steering?
