You are in the Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
After doing a survey on line ,which paid me $250(nice), I find that the '09 Fusion/Milan will offer the 3.5 V6 in a "sport" version. Retail is expected about$28,500(pretty much all the options incl.)Power was "mentioned" at 250HP. Not bad, but still a little less than Camry/Accord V6. I feel there is still plenty of "wiggle" room here. Lincoln could up their V6 with a little more HP to stay above the Ford/Mercury in luxury. I have an '06/Milan with all the options offered. I do plan on seriously checking the '09/Milan to do a comparison.

Replying to: keithm1 (May 14, 2008 1:53 pm) like the v6. Hopefully in this sport model HID headlights and HD radio are at least options. Old MIke |

Replying to: keithm1 (May 16, 2008 3:44 am) The 2010 model was originally scheduled for this fall as a 2009 model but got delayed until next spring, then got moved back to January. That's why there are still a lot of references to the 2009 model but those are outdated and incorrect. |

My crystal ball is pointing to the use of a 3.0L with new heads, intake and exhaust plus VVT that is in the new 2009 Escape being offered in the Fusion. This engine should be rated in the 240 hp. Ford launched a new mid-range 6 speed trans for the 09 Escape and at launch they said this trans will be offered in one other product next year. The only logical candidate is the 2010 Fusion. If they were going to offer the 3.5L, they would use the 6F in the Taurus/Edge which was specifically developed for the 3.5L. In the current gas cost crisis, I would rather see Ford spend money on shedding lbs on its cars/trucks then continuing to engage in the HP wars. Mark

Replying to: mschmal (Jun 10, 2008 3:55 am) It also seems there will be at least a limited edition using the 3.5L, but not sure about the timing. The 2010 model job 1 is in December, on sale in January.

Replying to: akirby (Jun 10, 2008 4:15 am) 2.5l I4 2.5l EB 3.0l V6 (240hp) ST: 3.5l V6 Hybrid It seems to me that the 2.5L EB and D30 PIP would overlap in power with the former getting better fuel econ. That raises the question of one of them actually being planned IMO. But he was confident that all of them will be available (whether at launch or not we don't know) and he's been right on most of the time.

Replying to: akirby (Jun 10, 2008 10:08 am) I realize that and that's why I, like you, said that the timing was not ever verified. If the EB does in fact make it into the '10 Fusion I would guess it would arrive for JOB2 which should be well after the MKS gets it. The Taurus and Flex will most likely get the EB V6 like the MKS. The Fusion is said to be getting the EB I4 which could mean it's getting that before the Taurus and Flex get theirs. Why would they roll out 3 EB V6 models before even rolling out one I4? The I4 will be as powerful as a D35 V6 but get much better gas mileage. It would make sense to get the I4 going in something ASAP given gas prices these days. If it was ready now then we'd be hearing about it like we're hearing about the 3.5L EB. Wrong, wrong, wrong (to use your words). They still have to get rid of the '08s and sell a lot of '09s before we even see 2010. Why on earth would they tell us how much better the latter will be than the two former?
