I know the 10 speed auto is supposed to be superior than a manual as far as performance but please tell me they have a manual option for the gt500

The wife and I test drove a fully loaded limited explorer and I loved it, but my wife really wants an acadia denali and no matter how hard I try to convince her, she is set on the acadia. Seems to be more space in the acadia especially the third row so she thinks people will be more comfortable. The explorer has two buckets seats in the third row and the acadia has bench seating. oh well happy wife, happy life.

Since I manage a fleet of about 3 Astros, and 5 full size vans for a HVAC company, we were disappointed in the size of the current TC as a replacement to our aging fleet of Astros. The Astro is the perfect size for the city and big enough to carry all the tools and equipment we have. I'm hoping the TC grew a bit with this redesign, cause right now it looks like the NV2000 cargo van might be the only option we have to replace the Astros.

Very nice interior, i like the rear exterior too, i just wish they would stop making the front similiar throughout the lineup. Cant wait to see the edge.

I would wait til the freshened edge comes out. isn't the new explorer supposed to be similiar to the flex in alot of aspects?

I usually rent with Budget. The last 3 times I rented, I ended up with a sonata twice and an eclipse once since I didnt want another sonata. Each time I requested a fusion or the taurus/500, they never have any available at the time I rent. I even asked for the new malibu which they didn't have. Since my family is mostly an import family, besides me and my bro., I can easily say the sonota is the worst car all around between the camry, accord, and altima. Might have to use someone else other than Budget next time, I' m sick of Hyndais, unless I can get a genesis (so i can test it out )over the sonata without paying more.

my dealer told me they weren't going to get a TC until late September. I hope my astro can hold out til then. Its making all kind of noises right now. I love the option of having internet and a keyboard and printer in my van. no more writing invoices for me. haha! I wish it had the 2.5L & 6speed transmission though.

haha! Honda should issue a recall too, I've been cut by chrome door handles on my buddies 05 pilot.

I like the edge and it looks like taurus headlights. Does anyone know if ford got the ptu leaking issues resolved?

After reading this. I'm glad i live in an area where I dont need AWD. Sucks the SHO is AWD only. Is it a faulty seal or the dealership's inability to install one of these seals, since its seams like its a tricky install and only the best mechanic can fix it right the first time. Does mazda or volvo use the same PTU?

When does the new fusion go on sale? did they start building it yet? hopefully the 2010 fusion can steal sales away from the 20K or so camries sold in february.

What about this idea? If the UAW is in the business of labor, then the UAW is a monopoly and there should be a competing union.

so when is the '10 fusion going to be built and when will they be at the dealers?

Are there laws that stop the big 3 from bringing in scab workers?

Only 1 new ford for me 95 T-Bird V8 - wish i got the SuperCoupe though. But I've had plenty of fox bodies and a svt Focus over the years. With the new ford lineup coming out, I can see myself purchasing a few fords when I need new cars. Transit Connect should be my next purchase.

I know, it seems like a BS spoof website. I noticed its says humor on the top of the page. Its fake

This article states the NY Yankees purchased Ford Motor Co. Anyone read this? Is this real? Link Sorry if this is a repost.

I honestly cant speak for toyota but the way i see it, and i could be wrong, is this: Toyota makes billions in profit, so yes, but I bet once they start loosing billions and for many quarters, i bet they wouldn't hesitate to eliminate the job banks and other benefits to survive and woudlnt have the threat of their auto workers striking. and i bet once they were profitible again, they would bring back the job banks and other benefits and thats the way it should be in business. Like i said though, my thinking could be all wrong.

Bingo!!! good post. couldnt agree more!! But I do think the auto workers are a vital part for any auto manufacture so its unfortunant auto workers cant find a better way to be more flexible and to represent themselves other than the obsolete UAW which has been demonized by congress. so if labor cost is 10 percent of a car, how much is legacy and retiree cost? an additional 10 percent? 20?

I like the LCD guages too, finally the fusion will have a set of modern guages. Looks like the fusion will compete very well with the camry and accord. Cant wait to sit in and test drive a fusion. Ill be looking for a replacement for my accord in a couple of years. Also cant wait to see the taurus and the ecoboost powertrains.

Me too. Would love to see a car like this pace around the track.

Does the f-150 have the same 6-speed trans as in the expedition? and was the trans problem for the 07 expedition ever fixed? I really like the new f-150, I just hope the speed trans doesnt have the same woes as the expy did.

So the 2.5L has a 6-speed manual trans??? Where or when did ford develop a manual 6-speed? is it the 6-speed from the SVT focus?

I hope the 2010 fusion doesnt have a long TSB list like the current one has. Hopefully fords been able to fix all of the earlier probs.

I recall someone mentioning that in order for a car to be considered a 2010 model, it has to be built in the CY2009 so I am assuming that the 2010 fusion can start being built on 1-1-09. Is this right?
