I keep checking one out every time I go to the dealer. And like others have said, I can't love the car the same way I love the Focus.
It's just... crazy. You can't get the good motor with a stick, and the 2.3L buildup just seems un-necessary almost with the V6 kicking around.
Should they release a "ST" version or something with either a hotter-tuned 4 or the V6... I'd consider it again. The salesman last weekend made it perfectly clear that the Fusion was the Taurus replacement for that exact slot in the market.
