SVT afficianados, they are going to supe-up the fusion....340 hp V6 engine. Your thoughts! IMO... I like the Fusion. It's different. Kind of bland. But, with more "go-juice" I won't back talk it!!!!

Well, with gas prices so high, going to a high horsepower engine will probably hurt it. Plus I am sure the cost will go up quite high too.

I dunno, many people remember the Contour SVT which was a piece of junk (as were all Contours).

Interesting. One of my kids has a 4 cyl Fusion and it's a nice car. This kid used to drive Mustang GTs and SVT Cobras, now a 4 banger Fusion.

Well he did it right at the right age, he won't be like those pathetic Baby Boomers who buy 69 GTOs now instead of when they were young and then never drive the things.

You're being kind of hard on us pathetic boomers, aren't you tom? I would think that the majority of them couldn't afford the car when they were young, and had to pay so much for one now that they are AFRAID to drive it!

I know that's true in my case. Although I've owned it for many years, I have a '67 Corvette Coupe with the rare 427/435hp tri-power set up. Quite a valuable ride. But the idiots drive so bad around here (DC area) that I am afraid to drive it. Sometimes I set my alarm for 3:00 am and go out for a quick spin on roads I have mostly to myself.

Way too late.

It will have to be AWD. It won't be much cheaper than a G35x.
Which would you buy?
