Replying to: ponggod (Aug 27, 2008 9:14 am) 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.

Replying to: urnews (Aug 27, 2008 11:16 am) 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. |

Replying to: urnews (Aug 27, 2008 11:16 am) 1- GM paid out $1B to shut down Olds. It ain't cheap to shut down a car line. 2- Who will sell Lincolns if Merc is out? Dealers won't put up with Lincolns only and Ford may not want to move the line to Ford dealers. Paul

is going to be a very hot seller. I figure more peopel will go with the 4cyl over the 3.0. This beings that the 2.5 is going to be putting out about 175-180HP and get better MPG than the present 2.3 4cyl engine. Ford is finally headed in the right direction when it comes to engines. Even the new updated/re-worked 3.0 is going to put out about 240HP and still get better MPG than the present 3.0.  Well, guess I can look forward to a trade-up in about 3 years..

After much research and after about 35,000 trouble free miles on my 06 Fusion SEL V6, I bought some Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions. 2nd place for tires were the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, 3rd were the Yokohama Advan S4 tires. Noticed right away less road noise, car feels more confident in the turns. Took the Fusion into some mountains for some twisties and there was a definite difference. Sure wish I could get back into the sedan forums, after reading what some are posting, I don't deserve to be banished for life. Guess if your a Ford fan and question the Honda/Toyota fans, its a no, no.

if you bring up the shortcomings of a Prius on the Prius board, you're called a troll by the fan-boy man! BTW, what highway mileage are 4cyl auto Fusion/Milan owners averaging here? I have a 2000 5cyl Volvo that can average 33 mpg on a long mostly flat highway trip.... so I laugh when I see small new cars rated at only about 30 mpg hwy.
