Replying to: akirby (Jul 20, 2008 4:54 am) I have read about a possible Fusion GT (or SVT, SVO, or....) with a 300+ hp turbocharged engine, but it will be interesting to see if it comes to fruition in the current economic climate. I don't even want to imagine what the EPA ratings would be on such a beast! I've also wondered if Ford has utilized the turbocharging experts that are, corporately speaking, already under the Ford umbrella- Volvo. They could take a car that weighed as much as a tank, had an old 2-valve 4-cylinder under the hood and the aerodynamics of the Hoover Dam and, with the addition of a turbocharger and a few other tweaks, they suddenly had a station wagon that seemed more fit for the Autobahn than car pool duty. Sadly, they probably didn't even think to ask for Volvo's help....

Replying to: igozoomzoom (Jul 21, 2008 6:51 am) There are supposed to be 2.0L and 2.5L EcoBoost engines to replace/augment the V6 engines but they were scheduled later than the 3.5L. My guess is they're trying to pull those ahead and maybe working on a 1.6L EcoBoost also. Unfortunately Ford doesn't have a lot of resources left so they're having to pick and choose what to work on first. |

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 21, 2008 5:51 am) I wonder if the number of Civics sold was limited by physical inventory available? They sold over 53,000 of them in May and exceeded everyone's (even their own) expectations and/or projections. So it stands to reason that dealer inventory can't possibly recover overnight (or in a week or two, even).

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 21, 2008 7:19 am) . Four-cylinder vehicles accounted for 40 percent of GM's June sales, compared with 22 percent a year ago...in vehicles offering both four- and six-cylinder engine options, the penetration of four-cylinder purchases has reached about 75 percent. Fusion four-cylinders accounted for 70 percent of the model's sales in June, up 13 percentage points compared with a year ago. Similarly, the four-cylinder Escape is responsible for about 51 percent of the model's sales, about 13 percentage points higher than a year ago. |
