Definitely scary business. I'm two years out with my kid!

Ford is re-introducing the Fusion next year as a wagon. It is supposed to get hybrid versions. I have never driven the AWD system in more than 4-5 inches of snow (in our 2014 sedan, Stevens Pass WA)

Oops, I hit enter before finishing. It wasn't bad in snowy pass condition. not as good as a true 4x4 but much better than my E46 325xi.

If they had even one V8 with a manual I might agree.

So, that X3M is now punched by the dealer and price lowered to a loaded X3M40i. Hmmm.

Can't get over the feeling, though, that I'd prefer the loaded X3M40i, but speced the way I want.

Or just wait to drive the RAV4 Prime. Problem is no availability until next year probably.
