I don't think this car will do so great sales wise. What do you guys think?
Pretty sure its going to be the most powerful midsize sedan from an entry level brand. I can't think of anything else in its class that tops it. The Taurus, Charger, and SS are all bigger. ATS-V and M3 are luxury cars. The Fusion Sport (likely its most direct competitor) has a 325 hp turbo6, and I'm fairly certain that is currently the most powerful midsizer. So topping that by another 30 hp isn't nothing. Just how potent do you need its engine to be to be impressed?
