Has anyone heard about the mentionings of a SVT Fusion? I read somewhere that it may be AWD manual with a high performance 4cyl. If tru I think they should use the engine in the Maxda Speed6.
SVT Fusion?

Only thing I have heard is that SVT has some fusions they are playing with. Thats is all I have heard.

Let's hope they make one.
Although the Mazdaspeed 6 is pretty fast for it being a turbo 4 I think if they do a svt fusion it should at least be the V6. I dont think the 4 cylinder will appeal too much with the svt crowd who is usually into modding their cars. Unless they are trying to appeal to a different crowd, but still Id hate to see them use a 4 cylinder.

4cyl = gross. Those cars are a fair size arent they ?
Yeah, definately V6 worthy.
I think Ford is more concerned about surviving. This means no SVT's for a while. 
Actually, if they produced an SVT like Fusion they may be able to keep some of their current customers. Think how many Mustang owners trade in their pony every year because they need something more family friendly. I'm betting a hotter Fusion may just catch their eye.
Exactly, but not with a 4cylinder in it.

^ Isnt the Volvo V8 made by Yamaha? If they put that in the Fusion it would be a return of the SHO.
Yes it is.
2 words about the Fusion SHO idea- Hellz yeah. :rockon:
thats like a nut you can play outside

There was a big reason the original SHO was discontinued.
I have last years New York Auto Show Press Kit for the GT500. In one of the videos they are showing the clay models of the GT500 and in the background there is a quick shot of a clay Fusion. I'm not sure what this means but I found it kinda interesting.

LOL :lol: :lol: Anyhow, I do agree it would be a smart move for Ford. And if they do use a 4-cylinder, they should make it strong enough to smoke SRT-4's and Chevy Cobalt SS's.Scoriox said:
Its not anywhere near their model range though. If its gonna be AWD I say go with a V6T w/ about 300hp and take on the subaru legacy. But I doubt that would happen because then it would be stepping on the toes of the mustang.

Exactly. As with any decent family truckster, the style just doesn't hold up and interest eventually diminishes.

Yes it was. But it appealed to the NASCAR fans. That why doing the same for the Fusion would be an awesome idea. Maybe not the V8 but defintley a high output V6. I think the Fusion would be too small for a V8. But I wouldn'y mind seeing a SHO 500. Something like the MKS from Lincoln.
