[QUOTE="1fastTbird, post: 15419871, member: 1390"] I think so. I think we should be disappointed by what is implied by Ford's marketing department calling our luxury competitors power rating. They are implying that the torque will equate to a better driving experience i.e. performance. As of now, most Fusion Sport tests have run the 1/4 in high 13's, low 14's. Seems the fastest on the forums have been 13.68 at 99mph. Take the 2016 BMW 340i for example running high 12's low 13's at 106-108 with "only" 330 ft lb. Just a poor decision by Ford marketing with that kind of call out. It's an over-promise, under-deliver type mentality which we do not need to see back in American car companies. We can blame the performance of the Fusion on the computer and torque management, and since most enthusiasts will tune the car anyway and see high 12's with little effort, its not really an issue. But for the average car buyer this will be an average sedan, with performance similar to a V6 Accord or Camry. The silver lining will be that we can purchase the car with DEEP discounts already ($5k off MSRP in PA,) and they will be getting cheaper in 6-12 months. [/QUOTE]
