I bought an 06 Fusion SE in march, and I love it! It has 221hp, and it'll get down the road in a hury, so with those extra ponies, you better hold onto that steering wheel!!!

I like the 252mpg highway better.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

263 horses for the fusion? I didn't think they had that much in any model of Fusion...

The new Taurus SHO taillights remind me of the '10 mustang taillights a little bit.

The wifey picked up the new car tonight.  Pretty nice ride, its tuxedo black with plenty of flake in the paint.  The absolute coolest feature is the "sync" stuff.  I spent the whole time I was driving it calling people through the radio.  I feel like George Jetson or something lol.

The sport model upgrades the motor to a 263 hp 3.5 V6.  Here are some pictures of my cute wife and her new ride:





The bottom pic you can see the metal flake really well.

Not really...we've been on and off about getting a new car for the last year or so.  She was just set on getting a Charger and I wanted a Fusion or Taurus, so we just kept putting it off.  Finally once I showed her the new Fusion on the internet, she was sold!:D
