I love how it's titled "the 325 hp family sedan is here"

Yes it's here,  but late to the party as the 365 hp family sedan (SHO/MKS) has been here for 7 years lol

Thanks for posting the article.  It was a good read, but I sure wish someone would do an instrument test on it and the MKZ 3.0.  I'd like to see some actual quarter mile times.

Yea I feel I'd they made the engine more stout that they should of hit the same stock numbers as the sho for atleast the 0-60 but I love the non shiny bits on places constantly touched and the drive selector I hope soon they turn the fusion into a more trackable car less family oriented even if there are already Audis and Subaru stis that fill that nich the different they use 4 cylinders and for is using 6 for range of 40-45,000

I don't mean to be a debby-downer but the Fusion Sport just seems like a half-hearted effort to me.  It might be almost as quick as a 2010 SHO.  Whoopie frickin' doo.

Lincoln is their "quiet luxury" division and gets the 3.0 400 HP/400 Torque engine for the MKZ along with an optional drivers package with torque vectoring and available summer-only performance tires.  The Fusion is part of the Ford division which has much more of a performance reputation, is active in NASCAR and it gets the smaller engine with 75 fewer horses.  That just doesn't make sense to me.
