== Great Job! ==

Hi [[User:MercuryLover2008]]. Great work on the [[Mercury]] vehicle line-up. You definitely know a lot about their cars! To help other members of the Wikicars' community get to know a little bit more about you, we ask that you share a little bit about yourself on your [[User:MercuryLover2008|user page]]. Out of curiosity, what is it about [[Mercury]]s that's made you such a fan? Do you or have you owned one? Are you involved in the auto industry? Thanks again and welcome. Happy Wiki'ing! =) -[[User:PNiddy|Nidhi]] 11:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

== I Apologize ==

I apologize that was a bad mistake I'll try not to do that again. {{Unsigned|MercuryLover2008}}

== Image use ==

Hello, MercuryLover2008, I have some concerns to share with you. I, and all other staff here at Wikicars are greatful for your contributions, but you need to learn how to properly post images on an article. I am speaking with great agitation, when I say it is very annoying. When you post an image on an article, please don't just place it there. Here is a sample of a proper image link : '''<nowiki>[[ImageMercury Sable.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]</nowiki>'''. Please pay attention to this. First of all, when placing an image on a page, either right align it or left align it. Second, please thumbnail your images (As per ‘thumb’ in the link) and last of all please size your images (The most often used sizes being bewteen: 200px - 350px). One last thing of note, if using many images for a section or car, create a gallery using <nowiki><gallery> at the beginning with the images placed like this inbetween: Image:Mercury Sable.jpg and using </gallery> at the end. </nowiki> -- [[User:0-172|Enzo Worshipper]] <sup>([[User talk:0-172|Talk to me]] + [[Special:Contributions/0-172|Contribs]])</sup> 19:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

:Thank you for cleaning up those pages, now one more thing, please do not place the Mercury logo atop articles. I personally think having the logo up there is very annoying, and that is something we do not do here. Thank you. -- [[User:0-172|Enzo Worshipper]] <sup>([[User talk:0-172|Talk to me]] + [[Special:Contributions/0-172|Contribs]])</sup> 23:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

== Your Welcome ==

I am new to Wikicars so I did not know about the pictures very well i apologize and I will remove the Mercury Logo from the pages.

Sorry For the Inconvenience.

[[Image:Ferrari Enzo-2.jpg|225px|left|Ferrari Enzo]]
</div>The [[Ferrari Enzo]] is a 12-cylinder [[Ferrari]] supercar named after the company's founder, [[Enzo Ferrari]]. It was built in 2003 using Formula One technology. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics. After a downforce of 775 kg (1709 lb) is reached at 300 km/h (186 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce. The Enzo's V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company [[Maserati]]'s [[Maserati Quattroporte|Quattroporte]], using the same basic architecture and 104 mm bore spacing. <small>([[Ferrari Enzo|more...]])</small>

</div>The [[Acura RSX]] was introduced into the [[Acura]] lineup in 2002 to replace the previous model Integra. Designed for the car buyer who’s looking for a classy sport coupe, the RSX offers refined build and great performance at a reasonable price. Thanks to its easily upgradeable platform and well made naturally aspirated engine, the RSX has also become a favorite amongst import tuners. Because of its large enthusiast following, a booming RSX parts industry has been created and it can easily be seen on the road as either a classy sport coupe or a track-ready canyon carver. <small>([[Acura RSX Review|more...]])</small>

In 2002, [[Maserati]] launched the '''Coupe''' and '''Spyder''', based on the [[Maserati 3200 GT|3200 GT]], which is not sold in the United States. Both models have a normally aspirated 4.2 L engine producing 390 bhp (291 kW). The top speed is 177 mph (285 km/h), while 0-60 time is 4.9 seconds. The V8 engine was designed by [[Ferrari]] but built by Maserati. It has variable valve timing on the intake side only, while a highly developed version of this engine used in the [[Ferrari F430|F430]] had variable valve timing on both intake and output sides.

The Spyder was first revealed to the public at the 2001 Frankfurt Auto Show. It made its United States debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2002.

Upon its release, the Maserati Spyder became the first Maserati sold in the United States since 1990; the Coupe was released shortly thereafter. They are also the first Maseratis to feature a normally aspirated V8. Maserati had been producing twin turbo engines for 20 years prior to the release of the 2002 Coupe and Spyder.

The two sportscars are available in two transmissions: GT, which is a traditional [[manual transmission|manual]], or Cambiocorsa, in which upshift and downshift paddles are mounted on the steering wheel; this is intended to simulate Formula One driving.

The Coupe and Spyder are designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of ItalDesign. The Spyder's 96.1-in. wheelbase is 8.6 inches shorter than that of the coupe. The Spyder seats two and the Coupe seats four.

Both models include an optional computer-controlled automatic damping system called "Skyhook", high-performance Brembo brakes, and an information center that combines audio and climate controls that is difficult to use. A global-positioning navigation system and hands-free phone are available as options. Both came standard with 15-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels in 2002, but after 2003 most had the optional five-spoke sport wheels. Maserati offers a range of exterior colors and ten shades of leather interior; five colors for the Spyder's convertible top are also offered. Maserati owners can even order custom Maserati luggage, made to match their cars' interiors.

The Coupe ranges in price from US$82,633 - $86,877. The Spyder is slightly more expensive, costing US$87,252 - $91,415.

==GranSport==

The '''GranSport''' (the Spyder version is the '''90th Anniversary Edition''', not '''GranSport''') is a modified version of the Coupé and Spyder with aerodynamic body cladding, a chrome mesh grille, carbon-fiber interior trim, and special 19 inch wheels. It uses the [[Skyhook]] active suspension, with a 0.4 in (10.2 mm) lower ride height, and the [[Cambiocorsa]] transmission is recalibrated for quicker shifts. The exhaust is also specially tuned to "growl" on start-up and full throttle.

It is equipped with a standard 4.2 litre (4244 cc), 90°, [[V8]], 400 horsepower (298 kW) engine @ 7000 rpm. A 6-speed paddle shift transmission comes as standard. The crankcase and cylinder heads are made of hardened aluminium silicon alloy. The car costs about Stg £66,000 or $98,000. Production began in 2004. The car is 4523 mm long, 1822 mm wide, 1295 mm high and weighs 1580 kg.

A special MC Victory edition was unveiled at the 2006 [[Geneva Motor Show]] to celebrate the racing success of the [[Maserati MC12]]. This version featured extra carbon fibre body panels and interior trim.

</div>The [[Ferrari Enzo]] is a 12-cylinder [[Ferrari]] supercar named after the company's founder, [[Enzo Ferrari]]. It was built in 2003 using Formula One technology. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics. After a downforce of 775 kg (1709 lb) is reached at 300 km/h (186 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce. The Enzo's V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company [[Maserati]]'s [[Maserati Quattroporte|Quattroporte]], using the same basic architecture and 104 mm bore spacing. <small>([[Ferrari Enzo|more...]])</small>

[[Image:Ferrari Enzo-2.jpg|225px|left|Ferrari Enzo]]
</div>The [[Ferrari Enzo]] is a 12-cylinder [[Ferrari]] supercar named after the company's founder, [[Enzo Ferrari]]. It was built in 2003 using Formula One technology. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics. After a downforce of 775 kg (1709 lb) is reached at 300 km/h (186 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce. The Enzo's V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company [[Maserati]]'s [[Maserati Quattroporte|Quattroporte]], using the same basic architecture and 104 mm bore spacing. <small>([[Ferrari Enzo|more...]])</small>

Designed for the car buyer who’s looking for a classy sport coupe, the RSX offers refined build and great performance at a reasonable price. Thanks to its easily upgradeable platform and well made naturally aspirated engine, the RSX has also become a favorite amongst import tuners. Because of its large enthusiast following, a booming RSX parts industry has been created and it can easily be seen on the road as either a classy sport coupe or a track-ready canyon carver. <small>([[Acura RSX Review|more...]])</small>

[[image:2007_Pacifica_blackleftroad.jpg|right|400px|thumb|'''2007 [[Chrysler]] Pacifica''']]
The '''[[Chrysler]] Pacifica''' is a mid-size [[crossover SUV]] from [[DaimlerChrysler]]. It shares its platform with the Chrysler minivans but offers [[all wheel drive]] and an upscale interior. The Pacifica was introduced for 2004 and was originally inspired by the [[Chrysler Citadel]] concept car. The Pacifica, according to [[Chrysler]], is a "sports tourer". The Pacifica is built in Windsor, Ontario, Canada alongside the [[Chrysler Town & Country]] and the [[Dodge Caravan|Dodge Grand Caravan]].

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Chrysler Pacifica Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
As a model only recently introduced in 2004, the Pacifica has undergone very little external revision. For 2006, the "Limited" trim level was made available without all-wheel drive. For 2007, Chrysler's 4.0 L [[Overhead Camshafts|SOHC]] [[V6|V6]] engine was added.

===Styles and Major Options===
The 2007 Pacifica is available in three trims: the Base model, the Touring, and the Limited. Although the Base model comes with the fewest standard features of the three, it is the only trim level that offers a choice of engines between a 3.8L 215[[hp]] [[V6]] and a 4.0L 253[[hp]] [[V6]]. The Touring and Limited are both equipped with the latter. In addition, the Base model is also the only trim to offer a choice of transmission between a 6-speed Autostick and a 4-speed Autostick, as the other two are fitted with the 6-speed. All models are available in either [[front wheel drive]] or full-time [[all wheel drive]]. Some of the standout features are as follows:

'''Base model'''
*17" steel wheels
*8-way power driver (4-way passenger) front bucket seats
*Cloth seating and headliner
*Metal-look dashboard insert
*Full floor console
*Dual zone front manual air conditioning
*7-speaker Infinity AM/FM/MP3/CD audio system
*Cruise control

'''Touring'''
[[image:2007_Pacifica_bluerearright.jpg|thumb|right|350px]]
Adds to or replaces Base features with:
*17" machined alloy wheels
*Full captain rear seats
*Premium cloth seating
*Leather shift knob and steering wheel
*Dual illuminated vanity mirrors
*Rear console with storage
*Dual zone front automatic air conditioning
*Separate rear AC controls
*HomeLink Wireless Control System
*Compass, exterior temp. monitor, trip computer, systems monitor

'''Limited'''

*19" alloy wheels
*Heated front bucket seats with driver seat memory
*Simulated suede/leather seating
*Express open sunroof

==Unique Attributes==

==Resale Values==
According to [http://www.kbb.com Kelley Blue Book,] "the base Pacifica and Touring model are projected to hold a slightly less-than-average residual value, while the all-wheel drive Limited is expected to hold a slightly higher than average value. On the whole, the Pacifica is expected to hold its value better than [[GM]]'s minivans, on par with the [[Ford Freestyle]] and below the [[Nissan Murano]], [[Honda Pilot]] and [[Toyota Highlander]] crossover SUVs."

==Criticisms==
*"If you're looking for a V8 power or the tall ceiling and overall interior space of a Sport Utility Vehicle or minivan, you best look elsewhere." - Kelley Blue Book

==Current Generation: 1st (2004–Present)==
The Pacifica's styling is based on the current Caravan, being boxed out and smaller in size.

==Future Generation==
The Pacifica is scheduled for a redesign for the 2009 model year and will be designated as the CT49. Possible changes may include a rear-wheel drive layout. The 2009 Pacifica is currently slotted for production at the Saint Louis Assembly plant in early 2008.

[[Image:2007 Ford Fusion.jpg|right|350px|2006 Ford Fusion]]
The American '''[[Ford]] Fusion''' is a mid-size car based on the Ford CD3 platform. The Fusion went on sale in October 2005 as a 2006 model, and is a replacement for the largely discontinued [[Ford Taurus]]. It is manufactured at Ford's Hermosillo, Mexico plant (Job 1 date of August 1, 2005). Companion versions entitled the [[Mercury Milan]] and the [[Lincoln Zephyr]] were launched simultaneously. At the 2005 Detroit Auto Show, a [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid]] version was announced for the 2008 model year. Ford's Fusion advertising campaign is entitled '''Life in D''rive'''''.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Ford Fusion Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
The Fusion was introduced in 2006, and for the 2007 model year, most of the changes consisted of the addition of more options and standard features to the various trims. Some of these additions include side-impact [[airbag]]s, [[all wheel drive]], fog lights, heated mirrors, and automatic headlights. Otherwise, the 2007 Fusion remains largely unchanged from its predecessor.

===Styles and Major Options===
The 2007 Ford Fusion comes in three major trims, the S, SE and SEL. These trims are further separated by engine size, which consists of a choice between a 2.3L 160[[hp]] [[I-4]] or a 3.0L 221[[hp]] [[V6]], and by drive type, a choice between [[front wheel drive]] or [[all wheel drive]]. Therefore, the selection of base models is expanded to include the Fusion [[I-4]] S, [[I-4]] SE, [[I-4]] SEL, [[V6]] SE, and [[V6]] SEL. Some of the standout features are listed below:

'''Fusion [[I-4]] S'''
*16" steel wheels
*Body-colored moldings
*Cloth bucket seats
*Manual air conditioning
*4-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo with MP3 capability
*Tilt/telescopic steering wheel
*Power locks, windows, mirrors

'''Fusion [[I-4]] SE'''
Adds to or replaces S features with:
*16" machined aluminum wheels
*6-Speaker premium AM/FM/CD audio w/in-dash 6-CD changer and MP3
*Audio controls on steering wheel
*Message center with trip computer
*Body-colored side mirrors

'''Fusion [[I-4]] SEL'''
Adds to or replaces SE features with:
*17" machined aluminum wheels
*Chrome beltline moldings
*Body-colored/heated side mirrors with puddle lamps
*Electronic automatic temperature control
*Audio and climate controls on steering wheel
*Analog clock

'''Fusion [[V6]] SE'''
Same features as [[I-4]] SE, except:
*3.0L [[V6]] replaces the 2.3L [[I-4]]

'''Fusion [[V6]] SEL'''
Same features as [[I-4]] SEL, except:
*3.0L [[V6]] replaces the 2.3L [[I-4]]
*Dual exhaust

For front-impact, rollover, and rear side-impact tests, the Fusion received 4-Star ratings, and for its front side-impact test, it received a 5-Star rating. Some of the standard features found on the Fusion include:
*Front and rear anti-roll bars
*Front- and side-impact [[airbag]s
*Supplemental overhead side-curtain [[airbag]]s
*Occupancy sensors
*Side-impact bars

==Hybrid Models==

==Unique Attributes==

==Resale Values==
[http://www.kbb.com Kelley Blue Book] states that the Fusion will have a less than spectacular resale value. Specifically, "although a great initial bargain, the Fusion's only downside is its average resale value. While the Ford Fusion should do about as well as its domestic competitors, top Japanese-brand models will return higher resale values over time."

==Criticisms==
*"...the driver needs some positive control over the six-speed automatic transmission to make this car truly fun-to-drive. There are moments when the tranny is hunting for a gear when it should be confidently downshifting for a corner or upshifting at the torque peak." - The Car Connection
*"The Fusion suffers a bit in that it doesn't offer anti-lock brakes, traction control or side airbags as standard features, and stability control is not offered at all..." - Los Angeles Times
*"If you're looking for a sedan with higher fuel economy figures or more resale value, the Accord and Camry are better choices." - Kelley Blue Book

==Current Generation: (2006–present)==
The Fusion was originally to be called the Ford Futura, but Ford lost a trademark lawsuit to the Pep Boys auto parts store, which has a line of tires under the Futura brand. American trademark law generally considers a name abandoned if the owner does not use it for three calendar years, and the long history of the name in the Ford line did not impress the court. Ironically, the Futura name is actually still used by Ford Australia, as a trim line for the Falcon. Another choice of name was "Falcon", but that would have caused much confusion with the long-running Australian Ford Falcon. Still that didn't prevent Ford from duplicating the name of the European Fusion, a mini-Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) based on the [[Ford Fiesta]], slotted between the [[Ford Fiesta|Fiesta]] and the [[Ford Focus|Focus]].

With its launch, the Fusion debuted Ford's new three-bar grille design, which is expected to become the company's trademark look for the rest of the decade. Production volume is projected at 160,000-200,000 per year.

Changes to the CD3 platform from the [[Mazda Mazda6|Mazda6]] include stretching it by 30 mm (1.2 in) in width and 55 mm (2.2 in) in length, strengthening it, and modifying the [[suspension]] for a more compliant ride. Like the [[Mazda]], the Fusion uses the [[Mazda]]-designed 2.3 L ''Duratec 23'' [[Straight-4|I4]] and Ford-designed 3.0 L ''Duratec 30'' [[V6]]. [[All wheel drive]] and the new ''Duratec 35'' will be options for 2007.

The Fusion is reminiscent of the [[Mitsubishi Galant]] and [[Pontiac G6]]. The Fusion shares some interior parts such as part of the console and seats with the otherwise unrelated European [[Ford Mondeo|Mondeo]]. Both [[automatic transmission|automatic]] and manual transmissions are available (the latter only with the I4 engine).

The Fusion also became the new body shape for Ford automobiles in NASCAR beginning in 2006, replacing the [[Ford Taurus]]. This is the first time that Ford has introduced a new model that went racing in NASCAR at the same time as its launch since the Ford Torino in 1968. It debuted at the 2006 Daytona 500, and won its first race a week later in California.

According to Ford, consumer response to the Fusion has exceeded their expectations. The car fits in a line of [[sedan]]s by [[Ford]] (smallest to largest):
* [[Ford Focus]]
* [[Ford Fusion]]
* [[Ford Taurus]] (the Taurus will remain in production until August 2006)
* [[Ford Five Hundred]]
* [[Ford Crown Victoria]]

==Worldwide==

Readers may also be interested to know that a car by the name of the Ford Fusion is also sold in Europe. This is a very different vehicle though. First of all it is only a B-Segment size, based on the European Ford Fiesta. It is a hatchback, although Ford would like potential buyers to think that is in a mini-MPV.

Being based on the Fiesta, the engine options are fairly limited, consisting of the usual 1.4 L and 1.6 L petrol engines, and the 1.4 L and 1.6 L diesel engines. Automatic transmission is only available with the 1.4 L petrol engine. The car is generally not very well liked by European motoring journalists. It is effectively a higher, less stylish and more expensive Fiesta with few advantages other than its more commanding driving position.

Considering this, I wonder why Ford of America decided the Fusion name was a good one for what seems like a perfectly good product.

==Design quirks and oddities==

==Awards==
The Fusion was nominated for the ''North American Car of the Year'' award for 2006.

== Welcome to Wikicars! ==

Hi there, '''Zznalg''', and welcome to '''[[Main Page|Wikicars]]'''! I'm a regular moderator and contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

There are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers to Wikicars learn the ropes:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:About|About Wikicars]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars FAQ|Wikicars FAQs]]'''''

Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Make Template|Make Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Template|Model Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|Model Review Template]]'''''

Here are a few features of Wikicars that I find particularly helpful:
:* If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.

:* The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.

:* You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikicars, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, ask me on [[User Talk:MQuan|my talk page]].

Again, welcome and thanks for adding to our community! -[[User:MQuan|MQuan]] 20:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

There are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers to Wikicars learn the ropes:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:About|About Wikicars]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars FAQ|Wikicars FAQs]]'''''

Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Make Template|Make Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Template|Model Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|Model Review Template]]'''''

Here are a few features of Wikicars that I find particularly helpful:
:* If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.

:* The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.

:* You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikicars, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

:* If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.

:* The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.

:* You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikicars, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.
