How much sport can you pack into a Ford sedan? Well, in the $19,000 base model Fusion S … not that much. You'll have to hand Ford $26,180 ($35,299 CAD) for the keys to this, the Fusion Sport V6. Packing a big V6, subtle aerodynamic kit, 18-inch wheels and an enhanced suspension, Ford has something to offer buyers above and beyond the (mostly) drab Japanese and Korean competition.
But, as with most "sporty" cars — are the changes relevant to drivers who make the occasional back-road blast?
Fact: the Fusion Sport comprehensively out-muscles every iteration of the legendary Ford Taurus SHO. We’re talking about the smaller, 1989 to 1999 models — not the 365 horsepower 2010 model. We haven’t forgotten the original SHO was a sports car for "everyman" — one you could sneak into the driveway and not provoke the ire of your wifey. Apparently, Ford hasn’t forgotten that, either.
