Ford did own Ashton Martin for a few years. :P

The plug-in electric hybrid will get 100mpg, the other variants not nearly as much lol.

Makes me kind of wish I lived in a house and not an apartment =/, would definitely get a plug-in as a DD; it supposedly factors out to two or three dollars a week on your electricity bill (so chances are the average person wouldn't notice much). IMO that's pretty sweet.:happy0180:

i hate the idea of a hybrid/electric anything, but this sounds pretty good from what i've read. i'd like to see this car in person.

If I had to replace the Camry with another midsize sedan, this would be it.

I've rented Fusions in the past for work trips. They are great cars for the segment they are in. I always prefer getting them over Camrys and Altimas and have been lucky at the Cincinnati Airport hertz getting a SEL one. The V6 is that car sounds great for a family car lol

I really like the new one too. If I wanted a 4 door family car, and if it came with a manual transmission with the V6s, then I'd have to take a very serious look at them.

no more 6's, just 4's and I believe depending upon engine and model configuraion you can get a third pedal.

I'd have to see the specs. I liked the 6s they had in the last gen minus the auto trans :P
