2010 Ford Fusion engines- 2.5L and ? by igozoomzoom

I'm very curious about which engines will be offered on the 2010 Ford Fusion (and Mercury Milan if it's still around). The current 2.3L I-4 will be replaced by the same 2.5L being introduced in the 2009 Mazda6. But what about the V6? It seems unlikely that the V6 from the Mazda6 will also make it to the Fusion. Currently, the only Ford using that 3.7L V6 is the Lincoln MKS. It would also make the Fusion more powerful than the larger/pricier Taurus.
 
Does anyone have any insight into this? I have read speculation that a 3.0L based on the 3.5L is in the works, but nothing concrete.

How many times do we have to go over this? It gets a modified 3.0L with 240 hp and better fuel mileage than the current 221 hp 3.0L. There might be a limited number of 3.5L versions but that's unclear. It also gets the 2.5L Hybrid.

back from first road trip by explorerx4

about 4 months ago, i trade my 04 focus for a fusion. i also have an explorer. one of the reasons(justifications) was that for 4 people we had to take the explorer on trips. so i decided to give up some every day gas mileage for better than the explorer on trips. i also was looking for a car that was awd and i could fit in the back seat(don't fit in the back of a focus). originally, i thought i would be getting a small suv.
when i started there was about 3k miles on the car.
the trip was 4 people from central ct to western pa and back. lots of hills, highest point 2250 ft above sea level. we ran the a/c about 75% of the time and averaged 26 mpg. the explorer would have averaged about 18.
i sat in the back for a couple 3 hours stints. there was enough head room and plenty of leg room for me(over 6ft).
even when my wife was driving 80, there wasn't much wind or road noise and my mother seated next to me in the back, had no clue we were going that speed.
anyways, i think it worked out pretty well and will only get better.

you are correct. it's the ubiquitous 3.0. you can't get awd with the 4cyl.

Fusion vs. Milan by ponggod

Correctly or not, I have the impression that the Mercury line is supposed to be slightly more upscale/polished/whatever than their Ford counterparts. But are there any specifics when comparing the Fusion and the Milan that would support this notion?

Not really. You might find one or two features but for the most part they're identical with only cosmetic differences. Mercury has been that way for several years.
 
The future plan for Mercury is to sell smaller premium vehicles while Lincoln focuses on larger premium vehicles.
 
The Mercury Sable is gone after next year along with the Mountaineer and there are no Mercury versions of the new Flex e.g.

Doesn't sound like Mercury will have very much to offer. Still wouldn't be surprised to see Ford discontinue the brand altogether. These are touch times and things are only going to get tougher for the next few years. Boz

Remember they're bringing over some of the European brands and I'm sure some of those will end up as Mercury's.
 
With the shift towards fuel economy it will now be viable to offer premium versions of smaller cars (B and C size) that would not have worked before.
 
You should check out the 2010 Fusion I4 - best in class fuel economy for both the regular and hybrid version, according to Ford.
