For 2013, Ford will no longer offer the V-6 in the Fusion. I think this is a mistake. The AWD 3.5 set up has fantastic grip. With a little tuning, it could be a BMW beater...

Almost makes you want to go out and buy a Ford. Oh wait, I just did. I bought a Ford SUV and took delivery Monday.

I know that and totally agree - that’s why I am begging Ford to make something as good as a Suburban. I cannot stand GM but right now, they have the best product in that particular class, and I need that particular class.

The Ford F650 has plenty of room and power.

Good for Ford!
I grew up in a GM family, but switched, myself, with the whole bailout stuff. Now, with this announcement, I especially consider myself more Ford than GM.

...now if Ford could kill the UAW! I’d get their logo tattooed on my chest!
