Getting 15.5mpg on a stock 2010 Audi S4. 14mpg on a boosted car sounds like a bargain :) GT gets pretty good gas mileage, comparatively. OP -- good choice holding on to it. Maybe consider a used Fiesta ST? They are like 10K now. Shit, now I want one!

If the Fusion can be axed, the Camaro can easily be axed considering they have the vette. Crazy times

I've owned an ecoboost fusion, and at the time the new ecoboost mustang came out 1/2 way into my lease, would have loooooooved to swap for an ecoboost stang at the time. You're taking things too far there. I do agree about the V8 though, it's irreplaceable. I like, not love my Audi S4. It's a...

I don't like the move (shoulda kept the fusion) but keep in mind they're not axing sedans at Lincoln. With the MKZ in 2013 when I got my Fusion I thought it looked better than the Lincoln counterpart, and for a lot less. Maybe Lincoln will get some love finally? I guess sedans are going...

1) Curve of powerband 2) This is why people dyno before and after, the dyno is a measurement device that is not absolute, reference points are needed.

Four dour mustang someday with hidden/trick door handle? Maybe they are taking the sedan to Lincoln? Shocked. I woulda thought the Fusion made the cut -- if you want a sedan from Ford it's the Fusion. Combine some of your disappearing Focus and Taurus sales into Fusion, and that sounds like a...

Positives: Rear 180 degree camera added. I'd have to drive with this always on in that thing. Negatives: Ugly front grille, horrific bowtie placement, taillight downgrade

That grille is hurting the front end more than anything. The curves do not flow with the rest of the lines.

Anyone know if there will be factory cloth recaros available? 2015s PP included Recaros, not seeing this on build and price with 2018, it still shows a cloth seat.

Yes, he's going to be boring and count beans. However, Mustang is probably Ford's most well known model. The last thing a bean counter does is retire a nameplate that has the highest Q score out of all his cars. He's more likely to abuse the nameplate for sales with a vehicle that either goes...

Yes, it is hyperbolic. On top of it, an M235i in most instrumented tests is only around .2 behind the stang in a 1/4 mile, 4MPH lower trap speed. In a lot of spots on the street the M235I might actually be quicker, so anemic is a pretty silly word to use. An Xdrive M235I probably matches the...

Yup, they'll let you float a little over 80. On I5 once you're out of the LA or SFbay area, you can go 85 and never get pulled over. 90 sometimes but only if you're in a long line. Whenever I visit family in Ohio I'm always shocked at how grandma the driving is. Here in California if you're 5...

Agreed. You have to buy what you enjoy, and unless your specifically buying a track car I think you can have more fun with a GT350 in terms of the unique engine and A+ exterior. It has a lot of "Wow" factor that creates huge smiles just walking up to the car and turning it in, you're in love...

Ya you can drive 80 on highways with zero fear of cops. A bit short of 130 but at least its not Ohio driving.

You have a way of making your point in an argumentative, non-friendly way. I remember those M235I vs. S550 threads because I was part of them and for the most part agreed with what you said just not how you said it. Things can be conducted as friends, just assume everyone is a buddy. :cheers...
