This would be ideal for long trips with lots of shit to carry though ....

We don't get either versions in NA. We got the watered down version called the SS. Would love to have that Tourer, though Would have definitely solved my problem

- 325hp / 380 ft-lbs, not slow by any means
- AWD, if you're into that sort of thing
- Only uses a little more than half the $50K to get one fully loaded
- Better ride and less road noise than my F80
- Surprisingly comfortable seats (good for your road trips)
- Will return 30 mpg cruising at 70-75 mph
- That combined with the size of the tank gives you a cruising range of around 500 miles

However:
- She's a bit hefty
- The only engine noise is played through the speakers
- Interior may not be nice enough for some (but you could go for the 3.0TT MKZ instead)
- Has that rotary dial transmission selector, which some may find offensive

Oh, plus I just looked in the trunk and there is a spare tire.
Does the Fusion Sport have the same drive train as the Taurus SHO? My buddy blown his engine on his Taurus SHO on our last road trip together
