Well I made the mistake of taking the Ford Fusion for a test drive yesterday. Was quite impressed overall. Very smooth solid and comfortable. Would certianly make for a good replacement to my aging vehicle fleet. Price point seems very good as well for what you get. List of standard options isn;t to shaby also. However I have one major frustration, and one minor one with it. MAJOR: There is no V6 5 speed option with it. Granted the 4cyl with the MTX will move in and out of traffic reasonably. I really felt a bit more power was in order. It seemed no faster then my 4 CYL MTX Mytsique that ways less by 200 lbs but also has 35 less HP. MINOR: I hate the rear end for some reason. Either way while I will wait a year or 2 at least before considering making the move I think, and in a few years some will come in off lease making for even better deals I feel the car itself could help with some of Fords ailing sales.
