New for 2006, the Ford Fusion enters the mid-size sedan segment with modern styling cues taken from the stylish Ford 427 concept car. The Fusion is offered with either a 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder motor producing 160 horsepower or a 221-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. Choose the four cylinder and you get the option of a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. Choosing the V6 limits you to a six-speed automatic. Flip-down 60/40 split rear seats will accommodate larger items that won’t fit into the already spacious 15.8 cubic foot trunk space. Based on the Mazda 6 platform, the new Ford Fusion is fun to drive, fun to look at, and a terrific domestic sedan.
