so i could check out how my fusion awd would handle a snow storm. i wanted slippey conditions and traffic. it did really well. was really good taking off from a dead stop. got by a struggling accord a couple of times when i was able to pull up next to them at a light in the not travelled lane, then just went by them when the light went green. |

| i have a 2006 Mercury Milan 6A , handles very nice in the snowy northern new england, i passed a Hummer !! without even thinking about it. and it was ugly out there.... | |
I bought a 2006 Fusion SE a few weeks ago, and have been noticing a buzzing noise in the dash on the driver's side when accelerating at lower rpm. If I accelerate harder or let off, the noise goes away. I found a TSB code 07-1-10 that seems to describe the problem... but I'm not really able to spend a lot of money to get it fixed. Does anyone know if this is a serious problem or not?

Ford executives told Automotive News yesterday at the 2009 North American International Auto Show that the next generation Ford Fusion will share a platform with the current European Ford Mondeo. "We're transitioning to a Fusion-Mondeo convergence," Derrick Kuzak, Ford's vice president of global product development said at the show. He confirmed that Ford EUCD platform, which the mid-size Mondeo is built on, will be the foundation for all of Ford's mid-size vehicles, including the Ford Fusion. In the U.S., the Ford Fusion goes head to head with the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Chevrolet Malibu in one of the most competitive segments in the market. The Fusion currently rides on the Mazda 6-derived CD3 platform, which is also used under the Mercury Milan, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKX. Ford reduced its controlling stake in Mazda to 13 percent late last year. Since Alan Mulally took over as CEO for Ford, he has made a push to globalize platform development. In the coming years, this will lead to European-engineered and developed models migrating to the U.S. market, including the Ford Fiesta, which will be sold for the first time in the U.S. market, and a European-derived next-gen Ford Focus. We can reasonably expect the next-gen Lincoln MKZ, Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKX to ride on the new Fusion platform as well, although the future of the Mercury Milan is uncertain. Although none of the executives at the auto show would say when the next-gen global mid-size car would appear in Europe or North America, analysts and suppliers expect the car to be available in the U.S. in 2012 as a 2013 model.
