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. |

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.

Final EPA mileage has not been released for the 2010 Fusion yet but Ford is claiming at least 33 highway for the 2.5L I4 in that one. I think that's a 4 or 5 mpg improvement over the current 2.3L PLUS more power. Not as much as the I5 in your Volvo but still a big step in the right direction and it is class leading (or will be) or very close to it. You can also get the 2010 Hybrid Fusion which gets at least 38 mpg city. Highway is something like 33 or 34 IIRC. Plus you can run on batteries up to 47 or 48 mph which is definitely class leading as is the city mpg for a hybrid. The next closest is the Camry hybrid at 33 city. My numbers may be off by a bit as I'm going off of memory and you can read most of it here. |
