Ford

Ford was so proud when it introduced its all-new Fusion in 2012. It only has four-cylinder engines, it said. Its efficient, hybrid, sustainable, and many other catchwords popular today. Well, that may have been a good enough pitch back then, but things have changed. Gas prices have crumbled, and it seems like if people dont want a gigantic truck now, they want as much power as they can get. So, with the Fusions mid-cycle refresh, Fords giving it to them, courtesy of a truck. The newly added 2017 Fusion Sport model shares an engine with the F-150 pickup, a 325 hp 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that turns the Fusion into the most powerful mainstream midsize sedan on sale today. It also cranks out a V8-like 380 lb-ft of torque thats too much for the front tires alone to endure, so an all-wheel-drive system is standard.
