They should have used the Crown Vic, and get some coverage for a car that has paid for itself 10 years ago.

I never heard of the Fusion before, either. Looks ugly. I never could understand how Ford got away with using a 4 only car to model a 2 door race car after. What happened to "Race it on Sunday, buy it on Monday." I am not sure about you guys, buy I have nerver seen a 2 door Taurus. It seems the only thing different between manufacturers is bodywork and powerplants. The teams used to actually use production cars to build race cars out of, and the motors had to be offered in cars. Personnally, I would love to see this Fusion offered with a 358ci motor, even if Ford only made 500 to fill a quota.

Sorry about the rant

John
