I guarantee you they didn’t, beyond stiffer springs to compensate for the weight of the EcoBoost 2.7L. No Revoknuckle, nothing.

Large time I checked, the 6 was considered the handling benchmark for the class. The Accord is only ranked up there because people refuse to accept that Honda doesn’t build great cars anymore.

No, because I rarely read Edmunds, plus, given the amount of money Ford has thrown at Lincoln, I wouldn’t be surprised if some cash changed hands, and I say that as someone with a healthy dislike of modern Bimmers.

I have, actually. I quite like it. But I’m not dumb enough to be live an FF based chassis has dynamics comparable to an FR based chassis. Put the Fusion on a track against a Bimmer and it will lose.

No, it wont. It doesn’t have the Focus RS AWD system, just the standard Fusion AWD system, which is a reactive system.

Tony Quiraga had a great line about CVTs once: “Upshifts and downshifts can hint at the personality of a car. Remove those inputs and the machine can begin to feel anodyne.”

Tony Quiraga had a great comment about CVTs in the compare C&D did in the June 2013 issue between the Accord and then-new 6: “Upshifts and downshifts can hint at the personality of a car. Remove those inputs and the machine can begin to feel anodyne.”

It’s a Mitsubishi, though, so nobody really cares.

I’ve driven the Honda CVT and I find it just as bad as the Nissan one. The concept simply doesn’t work in cars IMO.

Looks like one of the more accurate BTTF replicas.

Not really. All of their FF shit is boring as fuck now.

1st gear: Cool, that means that some good cars can be had for less than MSRP.
2nd gear: Getting rid of that horrendous CVT would help, but they won’t do that. Muh per-unit cost.
3rd gear: Okay. That sounds like a barrel of fun for them.
4th gear: Meh.
5th gear: Okay.
Neutral: People said that large BOF SUVs were doomed in…

I dunno.

Pretty sure that they only serve people in vehicles for a reason. Also, is he not aware that 24 hour McDonald’s exist?

1st gear: Meh. Wonder if that’ll affect pre-orders.
2nd gear: Fucking hell, really?
3rd gear: Wouldn’t be a surprise.
4th gear: Good for them, I suppose.
5th gear: I’m not surprised about Porsche. Or that they had to take the customer tour for some them at all, really. No one is under any obligation to share information.…

1st gear: Yes, everything is terrible.
2nd gear: Are there virgins in the Virgin Islands ayy lmao
3rd gear: Most of the first drives have been cautiously optimistic.
4th gear: RIP. I’ve seen a bunch around here.
5th gear: Is not end of world.
Neutral: I have to work Saturday and Sunday ;_;, but hopefully I’ll be able to do…

I’ve seen more than a few Veranos around, pretty much all driven by people under 65.

5 star post.

1st gear: Okay.
2nd gear: Meh.
3rd gear: They said that before.
4th gear: Zero fucks given.
5th gear: How much of those were actual glitches and not ‘durr, I don’t understand how this works so it must be broken’?
Neutral: Integrated roll cages.

So, a car that uses a platform that dates back to the early 00s did worse than cars that use platforms that were designed within the last few years?
