It'd be cool if they don't make one for a few years, so that our cars are somewhat rare. On the other hand, I'd like to be able to replace mine with a newer example at some point. But I'd be happy to have this one for the next 5-10 years.

My thoughts exactly.

I dont see this happening ...  The  FUSION   is marketed  as a midsized  sedan .. 2013 Fusion sales were up 18% over the prior year.    The Taurus is Fords ONLY Full size Sedan and the SHO was resurrected to HELP Ford overcome the DUD Ford  500 .  2013 Taurus sales were up 8% over the prior year .

If Ford would listen to the MAIN complaint  of the Taurus they would redisgn  the interior and slim down the center console and widen the interior a tad.
For such a large car many are turned away because it feels cramped inside.
I've gotten used to it BUT a little more room would be nice .


If their  design team  was smart , they would come out  with a coupe  under the Lincoln brand and no     MK  ¿~□?! £€ ...   B S ! !   It would need a REAL name ..

Bump up the  HP  to 400+ on it as well ....

Agreed...the newer Fusion is a VERY good looking car, and with the 3.5L TT/AWD would just rock!!!

Yea... I want full sized go fast that's comfortable, easy to get in and out of, and doesn't cost $100K .....  I even kinda like the cockpit like feel of the interior.

Fix the sound system and increase OEM HP,... convertible?

Fusion is a good looking car.... but it is midsize.

The 2.7 EB v6 would be perfect for a Fusion mini SHO. The new Navigator is rumored to get 370+ hp. Ford needs to output to be at or above 425hp to match the 3.6tt GM/Caddy v6 in the new vsports
2010 Ford Flex Limited w/Ecoboost- SOLD
2013 F150 FX4 Supercrew 6.5ft bed Ecoboost w/3.55

Forged internals (like the F150) would breathe new life into the HP race for the EB.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

can the fusion platform handle a 3.5 ecoboost or will it just bend it to crap? maybe just move the sho line to the fusion. Ill admit its got nice styling in the front the taillights could use some work but the weight loss would be nice.
