Ford signed an exclusvie contract with Sirius. Accordingly you get a 6 month subscription with the factory option.   Mark.

Replying to: slingshot80 (Nov 11, 2006 8:18 pm) I believe Ford was trying to keep initial costs down is one reason for not offering this feature. The Fusion/Milan are supposed to get stability control in 2008 I believe. May want to read about vehicles that do have this on them. Many complaints from drivers about how vehicles handle and feel with these systems on them. One person commented that it takes the fun out of driving.. Insurance companies love the systems.. Gee, wonder why?? I hope Ford offers it in a way you can shut it off when you don't want to use stability control.
#102 of 168 Will 2007 be a short model year? by slingshot80 Nov 12, 2006 (2:55 pm)
Scape2, thanks for the info. My understanding is that the cost is almost nothing as they program the chips, about $200 at most. Will the 2008 Fusion model year start when the 3.5 engine is available like the 500 will? Replies to this message: akirby (Nov 13, 2006 5:48 am)
#103 of 168 2.2L Duratorq TDCi Diesel by moparbad Nov 12, 2006 (8:21 pm)
I want the Diesel! Bring the corporate 2.2L Duratorq diesel offered on the Modeo in Europe.   I have no use for the 250 HP 3.5L, but hey, offer both as options!   Prop Rods? I'm fine with prop rods. For those who want gas charged springs try Fusion

Replying to: slingshot80 (Nov 12, 2006 2:55 pm) No, the 2008 Fusion won't go on sale early. It's not even guaranteed they'll put the 3.5L in the 2008 models.
#105 of 168 Stability Control by mschmal Nov 13, 2006 (8:19 am)
Not all stability control systems are the same. I'm by no means a CR junkie but they recently started rating stability control systems. Check out the new Annual Auto book which just hit the stores.   I understand Ford has some of the highest rated systems. this means they probably cost a little more.   Mark.

Replying to: mschmal (Nov 13, 2006 8:19 am) I understand Ford has some of the highest rated systems.   That's because most of it was developed by Volvo. The RSC portion was solely developed by Volvo for the XC90 and is finally beginning to be copied elsewhere.   We have the AdvanceTrac with RSC in our '06 Explorer and have had it kick on in an emergency manuever around a deer on a highway. Impressive stuff I have to say. I still don't see the need for it in a car though. Especially those that handle as well as the Fusion. I had a Mazda6 S, w/out stability control, before my current Mustang and I couldn't break that thing loose for anything.

Replying to: baggs32 (Aug 21, 2006 8:42 am) my explorer has has things like delay for headlight turn off, low fuel level warning, etc... that are programmable. Replies to this message: baggs32 (Nov 15, 2006 10:18 am)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 14, 2006 6:44 pm) Boy you're going way back explorerx!   The '06 Explorers have all of that stuff too. You can even now turn both the auto lock and auto unlock features on and off. I think the older models only had the former. Most of it is good to go at default levels but it's nice to be able to customize.
