I got the Car and Driver 10 Best Cars of 2017 issue in the mail yesterday. The Fusion Sport didn't make the 10 Best list, but it was considered and is featured in a couple different places in this issue. It is featured in a article called, "The Retreads", where they test new versions of models that failed to win 10 Best in previous years. The Fusion Sport is also featured in an article titled, "Hard Act To Follow', where they compared it against the new Audi A4. They posted identical 0-60 times and the Fusion Sport beat the A4 in the quarter mile by a tenth of a second.The author liked the A4 better, but the A4 also cost more than $54,000.
The twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 that powers the Fusion Sport along with the F150, Edge Sport, Lincoln Continental, and MKX is mentioned as one of Car and Driver's 10 favorite engines of 2017. I think this is a pretty big honor for this engine especially considering the other engines on this list. The list includes the Audi/Lamborghini 5.2-liter V10, BMW turbo 2.0-liter inline-4, BMW turbo 3.0-liter inline-6, Chevrolet 6.2-liter V8 (LT1), Dodge supercharged 6.2-liter V8 (Hellcat), Ford 5.2-liter V8 (Voodoo), Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, and the Porsche 4.0-liter flat-6.
