I don't think there's a lot of cross shopping with the Mustang GT. They should be happy to offer similar performance in 2 and 4 doors. I bet it's mostly longevity/warranty. Plus they leave room for an ST with stronger driveline pieces.Longevity, warranty and if they did then the Fusion Sport would be competing with the Mustang GT.
I HIGHLY doubt we will ever see anything more than the Fusion Sport in terms of Fusion performance. They didnt do anything more with the SHO, which is currently being phased out, I dont see why they would with the Fusion Sport. There really isnt a market for that level of car within the ford fusion sector. If they went any higher the car would have a baseline of like 38-40K, for that price you could buy a much better performing car. No matter what Ford does with the Fusion, its still a 4,000lb car, at that weight it will never be a true sports sedan and to shed those pounds would take a pretty amazing feat of engineering. To make a true ST car they would also need a manual option, no way in **** Ford is going to completely re-engineer the car to put a manual transmission for what will easily be the lowest volume model sold with the least profit.I don't think there's a lot of cross shopping with the Mustang GT.
