NOS2Go4Me,Dec 7 2005, 07:59 AM Wrote:$25,500 for 17s and a Duratec. Huh? I can get the same deal in the Focus ST sedan, and probably for less if memory serves. Plus there's that 06 Street Appearance Package (S3?) I keep drooling over, and there's nothing like that for the Fusion.

So, those are 16" tires, and without the "Street Appearance Package", which isn't available yet.

And you're comparing apples to oranges. A new design, Mazda 6 based architecture with plenty of room in a decent package, or a 6 year old design has-been (hey, I've got one, but call a spade a spade).
