I always thought buying a front-drive "sports car" was silly. If you really care about performance, you should get a car with rear drive.
 
It reminds me of the people who put a rear spoiler on their Camry . . .instant sports car . . not.

2010 Fusion 18" Accessory Wheels by fusionguy

Does anyone know what the price is for the 2010 Fusion 18" polished aluminum wheels? They are displayed in the new Fusion brochure as accessory wheels, but I could not find them listed on fordaccessories.com.
They look identical to the 18" wheels that are on the 2010 MKZ with the Sport Appearance Package.

Different strokes I guess. The "classic" SE-R was fantastic on the track after a few tweaks, as was the GTI and the Civic SI. The edge went to the SE-R because of the limited slip differential, but all were a lot of fun.
 
I guess RWD can be fun if you want to go straight or sideways.

i agree, the keypad is a great convenience, as i prefer to not carry keys around if i don't have to.
don't have to keep asking the kids, where are the keys?, if i want to get into the car.

How nice for you that you never have to make any choices between competing desires or needs. Many of us, perhaps most of us on the Edmunds boards, "care about performance," but that does not mean that we can always place it above other needs or priorities.
 
Midsize sedans are masters of compromise. Relatively few people genuinely fall in love with them. But plenty of us need what they can offer, and would still like some semblance of sportiness in the driving experience. Within that group, the Fusion and Milan offer more of this than, say, a Camry with a rear spoiler. They have sharp steering response and a firmer suspension than most of their competition.
 
Perhaps you'd be happier in a sports car forum, Mitch.

Most Fusion/Milan by cannon3

sales will be in the 4cyl automatic configuration. The new 3.5 V6 will come in a GT type name plate. With gas prices on the rise I would hope Ford knows not to build too many of the 3.5 versions. I just have this feeling Ford is going to announce the Fusion/Milan is going to also be built in another factory either in the U.S. or Canada.
