Should Ford make a sport version of the Fusion you know, a V8 bigger rims a spoiler, hood, etc.

Sure, why not

For a V8, Ford should consider going with RWD. I think they should move it to a rear platform for the next revision of the car, otherwise the Chevy guys wouldn't be the only ones being laughed at for having a torque steering bohemoth(The Impala and Monte Carlo SS's).

the only problem with that is that ford doesnt really have any other RWD platforms other than the 'stang and the CV and those obviously wont nwork on a fusion sized vehicle. and the thing is ford most likkely isnt going to develop a new one for a while especially since the fusion is still pretty new and im sure they dont wanna throw allthe R&D that went into the current FWD platform oiut of the window...

im not saying its a bad idea. i actually like it alot. i just doubt ford will do that

Look at this

I dont think a V8 fusion would work...
a turbo-charged awd fusion coupe with the new V6 is what I would LOVE to see.
And as for looks... we all know what I want (look up Doug's SVT F-Bomb)

I think this is a better idea (over the V8). I dont think the Ford 4.6 would actually fit under the hood of the FWD Fusion. I may be wrong, but there would be a lot of modding necessary to get it in there. Either way, they definitely need to do something cool with this potentially awesome car.

I think its a little silly to put that big of a motor for a FWD car.

They could easily raid the parts bin from Mazdaspeed/MKZ and build a hipo AWD car. The 3.5L V6 is very strong, thorw a manual transmission behind it with an AWD driveline and it would be a great combination

I really wish ford had more coupes, but maybe they just weren't in high enough demand. But Ford's only coupe is the mustang... what about 2-door focuses and fusions? hehe... 2-door crown vic?? Honda's got Civic and Accord coupes... Chevy's got the cobalt and the monte carlo.
I think they'll come out with a Fusion ST or something like that, plus more recently, it seemed like an SVT Fusion could be back on the menu in the future, but i'm doubting there's much hope for a coupe.

it should have a turbo 3.5L V6 with AWD.

I love the way people think in this forum

The 3.5 turbo V6 might work with AWD, but the AWD system could never support a V8, because the all-wheel system still favors the front wheels and uses the rear wheels for traction uses and less for a real transfer of power.

future9er24

but alas, i think a turbo AWD 6 speed 3.5L V6 Fusion would be quite interesting. definately going to have to get my hands on one of those if they make one.


rally racing anyone?

They could just put a active center diff in it to change that.
