Plus you would sound like a ricer going down the road, you would have 10 ricers following you down the road, and then your car would be stripped and stolen and sold to ricers later on. Ok and by driving a BMW / Audi you'll have a bunch of D-bag Gueido's following you with 30lbs of hair wax in their trunks...once again your arguement doesnt make sense--hell what are you even argueing about?! This is about new vs used?!.

Fact is you can't compare used cars to new cars, end of story

That ECO-BOOST motor is impressive.

I read the 2011 Mustang V6 will be 315 HP, but I can't recall if that was going to be normality aspirated. Anyone?

I also like the idea of an AWD SVT Fusion with this motor, but it may be tough for Ford to pull off the marketing without making Fusion Sport moot (and SHO for that matter). Also, the price point may be an issue. How much would they charge for one when the Fusion Sport pushes low 30's already and the SHO is 40ish. It would be a squeeze to fit this in between, but I would consider buying one in that range (maybe up to $37k? with bigger wheels/tires, brakes, manual?, unique interior/exterior styling and color offerings).

An SVT Focus would be cool too if it was modeled after the RS Focus of Europe, which I have heard may also get the green light for the states - just not in the immediate future. Again, the price point may be tough for this car to exist here. Now if gas prices continue to rise, Americans may change their thinking about a $35k-$40k compact hatch.

I highly doubt it would be N/A if it's over 300hp and a V-6...

I like how everyone is hating on the car when it's a luxury sedan that offers good performance. Sure you can make a car fast for a 5th of the price, but can you make a car that offers the amemnities that this car offers? Big cheers to ford for adding another great car to their lineup.
