granted you do lose power to the linkages.

Also, the number of 6/8 cylinder motors with AWD and a manual transmission can be counted on one hand. Fours suck, and modifying with an auto and AWD is a pain, because either of them can overload.

Absolutely. Conventional automatics should not exist anymore. They should be entirely replaced by DSG/DCT and CVT.

not quite yet. you need a few more years of cost down still for DSG.


The 2012 Fusion should be on DSG.

humm, not clear, since apparently there is no significant change from 2011 to 2012 and I don't think the 2011 is DSG.
