after driving it for a bit though i think i see where the money went.  the revs rise and fall between shifts FAST.  like it reminded me of a s2000 (or maybe i've been driving a heavy flywheel wrx for too long).  the power delivery is linear and there is torque everywhere.. the motor is butter smooth from idle to redline.. the body and ride control is great and the ride isn't harsh.. 

i think i could have gotten much more luxury for (much?) less money or much much more sport for less money elsewhere definitely.. but for a 'sport lux wannabe' commuter with some legitimate track ability.. i think its pretty compelling

Hey The Fusion only has "Leather seating surfaces" which for a car that (in my case stickered at nearly $40K before the discounting) is kinda chintzy :P

Yeah, even though I have the AWD, I'm not sure how much of a track beast my car actually is (though I am going to the STVOA Track Day this year and intend to find out :lol:) what I wondered is whether it would be possible to get the SAP suspension setup and dump it in my car (Much like I did with the Focus and putting the SVT running gear under it)

Now that might be a track monster ;)
