Replying to: 79customd (Dec 28, 2005 3:19 pm) Yeah, Ford made a mistake putting the underpowered 3.0L V6 in a car that heavy. Acceleration falls short to others in the class and the engine revving higher when you gun it to increase performance can't be good on the engine long term. Ford has made promises to have a 250 HP 3.5L V-6 for such cars as the Fusion and Five Hundred. Unfortunately, delays just keep on coming on this engine, leaving the old Taurus engine to soldier on through 2006.

Ford should hav delayed the 500 and the Fusion another year to then. either Ford needs to finish the car and turn it out or not. Fords car situation is getting rough. I hope they don't go under when the silverado overtakes the F-150 #1 truck spot in the next few years. Ford sure should'nt be counting on there cheap, unfinished, underpowered, cookie cutter cars to pull the load. This is why Toyota overtook Ford as #2 automaker in the world. Ford focus's no effort on there cars. 3.0L V6 in a heavy car like the 500, give me a break
