Jeez, or get a Fusion with an equal or better transmission (no AWD, mind you) and pay thousands less. Plus... 2600RPMs @ 100KM/H? Even the SPI turns less than that with a 4-speed. I'd wager spinning 5 cylinders at that speed all day long is a waste and also excessively droning. Surely there's enough torque and gear space to run that puppy @ 21-2300RPMs and save some fuel.
Anyways, they're nice cars... but damn, they're about $4Gs too rich for my blood at the very least for what you get. For over $36Gs you don't even get an automatic (which I'd rather have when it's 5 cogs vs. 5).
