Definitely not gonna disagree with that. Seems like almost every respectable mid to full-size sedan is packing at least 250 under the hood these days.......and many are starting to push closer to or over 300. Ford does still have its work cut out for it though. It'll be interesting to see what direction they take with their products.

The Camry is a Fullsize car, and was the number one selling passenger car in 2006. But is was not the number one selling vehicle in the U.S.:

1. Ford F-Series 796,039
2. Chevrolet Silverado 636,069
3. Toyota Camry 448,445
4. Dodge Ram 364,177
5. Honda Accord 354,441
6. Honda Civic 316,638
7. Chevrolet Impala 289,868
8. Toyota Corolla 272,327
9. Nissan Altima 232,457
10. Chevrolet Cobalt 211,449

While I won't argue that the Camry is tops in sales I will disagree that the Fusion does not belong in the same size class as the Camry. The Fusion IS a mid-size car...it has a 2" shorter wheelbase but it's 1" longer than the Camry. Compare the specs:

You disagree with the governments classification, right? You know I don't deceide what catagory a passenger car is placed in.

The Ford Fuscord still looks a Honda Accord to me...
