Depends, are you in Michigan? It's about a two week transit time from Mexico to MI. Plus it hadn't been released yet, meaning to the railyard. And alright, GO STATE. I am an MSU alumn, a very disappointed by the football season alumn. This is going to be one of those MSU "We suck but we'll come out of nowhere and blow away a top 10 team and send Michigan to the Rose Bowl" game. :rolleyes:

Yeah but that time results in lost sales. My SHO isn't going to last forever and I can't drive my Mustang in the winter. I'm foregoing my A-plan and looking at my employee pricing connections at the other companies. A six speed GTP G6 would be nice, or a six speed Accord. Too bad the SRT-4 doesn't come with leather and is too riceboy for my taste or I'd be all over that. Hopefully in a few years I'll have a Ford product worth trading in whichever one I go with. Until then, there's goes profit sharing :rolleyes:

Agreed. Ford had this car out before, it was called the Taurus SHO and the Fusion SEL doesn't come close to it.

The Five Hundred will be getting the Tri-Bar grille. That is the new Ford front end look for the fleet. The trucks are all at the chrome bar like the F-Series. Notice the Ranger got that look this year? The new Explorer.... The E-Series

Manual posing automatics are lame Traction control is for wusses, why would a four banger need it? Ford doesn't need another two door...Mustang...Focus... Plood is old man, this is marketed to bring the youth demographic to the brand, I don't want plood in my car, that is so old people.

So 221hp is nice to see when the same engine was doing 200hp for a decade in the Taurus, Five Hundred, Freestyle and the Mercury carbon copies. Why did it take Ford 10 years to come out with an almost replacement to the old SHO? It's close, but not close enough. The SHO had it all, a hot V6 teamed with a manual, key word here...three pedals! and you could high 14s in it. Had full leather, moonroof option, power driver and passenger seats, not to mention they were comfy. Electronic climate control, cd and cassette(who cares about cassette now though). And all these goodies came in a Taurus that whoop on a Mustang of the day. What happened??? I want my Fusion to keep up if not beat out my Taurus. C'mon Ford!

Mine is Clean/Unscheduled, but this week Job#2 starts right? How soon will I see it? It will get scheduled first thing.

Throw it in with a six speed, an lsd, and at least 275hp and yes I'll pay $30K for it. But until then, I'll go check out the G6 GTP and Honda Accord.
