That'd work too. I'd like a nicely powered ST as an option for the fiancée, or something like an MKC in the near future.

I would like to see it. Makes perfect sense for a daily driver, up here where I live.

I think the V6 MKZ's days are numbered. Now that the 2.3 has made its debut in the MKC, I assume the MKZ's refresh in 1-2 years will drop the V6 and add the 2.3 to be too dog - then the Fusion will gain a 2.3 ST model available with a MT.

I was wondering, when Ford says they used the bmw M3 and porsche 911 for becnhmarking the new stang, which 911 we're they referring too?

So I checked porsche, and boom:
http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/911-turbo/

May have been common knowledge to most, but i didnt know.
Didn't expect them to try to go against the turbo.. it has like 100 more hp, and is pretty much better in every way possible lol

Yes, especially (won't happen, I know) if it had a manual transmission.

Power to weight would kill. And Ford would have competition for the Evo and WRX.

Infact, FWD to compete with GTI and Mazda 3 SPEED ( as we have now )

AND 4WD to go after the rally segment.

Talk about Market coverage.

An awd fusion with the 2.3 would be a poor fit for the rally market IMO. It's too big, front wheel based awd system, no manual. Id love to see a focus RS with awd and the 2.3 though. That would be a great car.

I saw this trailer last Sunday, HAD to have a 2015 in it! It was heading south on I-5 towards LA.
