Replying to: akirby (Apr 14, 2009 5:05 am) Shouldn't be that hard to do it yourself. Well, if I had a garage, and an engine hoist, and a good shop manual, and a donor vehicle, and. . . Or perhaps you meant buying a 2010 model and adding the 18-inch wheel/tire combo and the suspension upgrades. That wouldn't be too difficult, it's true, but I would still miss out on the cool "black chrome" trim and the interior upgrades of the SAP. Replies to this message: akirby (Apr 14, 2009 5:55 am)

Replying to: stephen987 (Apr 14, 2009 5:24 am) Yes, I meant adding the SAP bits to a 2010 model. You can do the black chrome trim and interior color pieces too - or get a shop to do it for you.
#5310 of 5509 2010 Fusion V6's 0-60 by nomoreford2 Apr 19, 2009 (11:19 am)
2010 3.0 V6 240Hp 222 Torque 7.9 sec 3.5 V6 263Hp 249 Torque 7.0 sec 2006 3.0 V6 221hp 205 Torque 7.5-8 sec depending on who did the test drive How is the newer model with more power and torque slower than the old one in the 3.0 and the 3.5 cant even crack the 6's with 263Hp. A 08 Malibu V6 with 252Hp and weighs more can hit 0-60 in 6.6. Ford has to be underestimating the numbers. 0-60 in 9.5 sec with 2.54cyl 175Hp?

Replying to: nomoreford2 (Apr 19, 2009 11:19 am) why is this a big deal? do you really think anyone going to drag race a fusion?

Replying to: explorerx4 (Apr 19, 2009 2:27 pm) I agree. I ordered a 2010 Fusion SEL with a 2.5L for the fuel economy not the 0-60 or quarter mile numbers. Style and economy, the new Fusion has both.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Apr 19, 2009 2:27 pm) Im not saying its a big deal, it just that a new model with more power should accelerate faster than the older model that is replaces. The current 211hp V6 fusion is more than enough power for me, its just when all the car magazines see those numbers on the 2010, they start to bash the car unnecessarily over minor numbers, just like they did with the current model 221Hp and the average clueless buyer that looks at those magazines all of a sudden thinks a accord or camry is so much faster due to those numbers. As for 7.0 with 263HP ford can do better considering its there Sport model for the car.

Replying to: nomoreford2 (Apr 20, 2009 9:48 am) Whose numbers are you quoting there? Unless they're by the same people, you really can't compare them. Replies to this message: brucelinc (Apr 20, 2009 10:30 am) mz6greyghost (Apr 20, 2009 5:36 pm)
#5315 of 5509 Re: 2010 Fusion V6's 0-60 [thegraduate] by brucelinc Apr 20, 2009 (10:30 am)
Replying to: thegraduate (Apr 20, 2009 10:09 am) Thegraduate is absolutely right. Different publications will get different results and manufacturer claims will be different as well. Ford's claims have been more conservative lately than the numbers usually recorded by the enthusiast magazines. Car & Driver quoted a 6.8 second 0-60 for a 2008 Taurus with the 3.5. The Taurus is heavier than the Fusion and has a much less favorable (for acceleration) gear ratio than the Fusion Sport. Motor Trend quoted 7.2 for the heavier AWD version of the Taurus - again much heavier than the AWD Fusion. Based on those numbers, I would expect a Fusion Sport to be in the mid sixes using the same techniques.
#5316 of 5509 Window sticker vs Ford Website MPG by m6user Apr 20, 2009 (2:23 pm)
Just stopped by a local Ford/Mercury dealer to take a quick look at the new Fusion and Milan. Ford has been bombarding us with this 34mpg, best in class etc. I checked their website and it states 34mpg HWY for the I-4 auto. The window sticker said 31MPG HWY. What's up with that? Also, I think eliminating the round clock from the Milan dash was a mistake. I think it added a classy look.
