I just found out I can get X-Plan through work for Ford vehicles.

Looks like I'll be joining Fordzine this summer.

Congrats on the Fusion. Definitely report back when you get it and let us know how you like it.

 

Definitely not the Toyota. I'd say the Fusion-you'll love the Aston grill.

 

nice I can't wait to see pics.

 

not on the list, but I vote for the Optima. Great bang for the buck, been seeing a lot of these on the road and it has presence.

 

meh. I've had a couple as rentals. I thought they looked great .... styling-wise. Actually driving one .... not so much.

 

I wonder why Ford doesn't fit the NA 2.5L with direct injection... it did marvels on the Focus 2.0L.

 

Prepare your bank account.

 

I'm going to lease so that'll help keep me from modding

 

Congrats on the new RepMobile. Good to see you still around here.

Come out for some food and drinks this Saturday if you have some free time. It has been a while.

 

Perhaps it's on the way out...Ford seems to be pretty committed to DI & Eco boost as it's platform for growth, with the 2.5 being overlooked I wouldn't be surprised if it is planned to be dropped from the line up in future updates. No sense in throwing R&D money at it for the near term.

 

So much Toyota hate

 

...because the Passat is the better of the two.

 

Fusion....

 

any update on it? curious to see how your liking it.

 

and pics! That picture on the first page made a pretty strong case for black, though.

 

Me too. looking at one as well.

Maybe I missed it but what engine did you end up with? The 1.6 or the 2.0L?

 

26,000 miles/year is a shit ton... I barely break 10k a year.

 

It seems like it but it's not. I can do 20k a year and I work from home.

 

what the deuce?!?!

When I would commute for school and work I'd be just over 15k.

 

It just all adds up. And it's been consistent enough that I know I'll do that much. That's why I bought the E36 to cut the miles off my primary car.
