Yep, the 2.0 EB Fusion is AWD.

Hey, don't forget the V6 EcoBoost Flex!! Our Flex is pushing about 500 HP, with just a tune, methanol and an axle back exhaust...

Here's the Fusion that MRT did for SEMA last year:






It's a very nice car... the 2.0 EB gets it around town ok, but that's about it.....

Now, the 2.0 EB in the Focus ST... That's a different story! I picked one of those up in October! WOOHOO! What a fun car! It however is more of a twisty car than a straight line car!

Not all the EB 2.0 fusions are AWD. My brother is getting his wife a Platinum EB 2.0. They are deciding on the AWD option before they order it.

I was under the impression that the ST is the same motor in the fusion just a little bit of tweaks to it but i might be wrong.

I am ready to put the fusion up again my DD S60R when they get it. Should be a close race since the fusion will be a little lighter.

My bad... was thinking the Fusion was more like the SHO/Flex where you could only get the EB with AWD.... d'oah.. usually check things before I open my mouth...

Yeah, i think the 2.0 is pretty much the same between the Fusion and ST... just the ST is a bit lighter and only comes with a manual transmission... So it gets a little bit more power to the ground then an Automatic AWD Fusion...

I traded a 2010 Fusion sport AWD in on my 2011 Silverado. The sport was a 3.5l v6 with 267 hp. Went okay, but no match for an SS.

They need to make a 6 speed AWD fusion 3.5L ecoboost. I would replace the R with that in a heart beat!
