A new challenger has entered the arena

My last post I talked about picking out a new car, well I might be looking at a 2008 Lincoln MKZ. I used the A plan site to price one out, and I guess due to the residuals on the MKZ I may be able to get one for the same price as a Fusion SEL ( Read more... )

That's the gas mileage I get in my Fusion SEL V6. I don't pay attention to details like engine size though so couldn't tell you off the top of my head what size it is, lol.

Yours is the 3.0L. I think its the Duratec but I don't remember if they branded the 3.0 as Duratec or if its the 2.3. The 4 cyl Fusion is 2.3L.

The 3.5 is a new engine, came out late 2006 and has only been put in the Edge, the MKZ/MKZ, and maybe the Taurus, but I don't know for sure.

Just a bunch of info that doesn't matter, lol.

Don't buy into marketing. Sit down and really listen to a good song before you make any substantial 'upgrades' in factory sound systems. The only reason and the ONLY reason I'd spend more money on factory crap is if it came with some badass features (like the sync, and that is only because no decent aftermarket zune interface exists)

Also whatever rhetoric somebody throws out there about number of speakers or wattage is pure garbarge. It really means nothing and is used as a mechanism to lure people in with big numbers.
