Glad you're not hurt and all is good with you. Sorry the SHO is gone, nice cars, I think the new ones are a bit too big. As far as a new/different car, BUY AMERICAN!!! An American car company built car.

is the engine shot? Can it be rebuilt and put into your stang? Wasn't sure about fitment.....
if you are looking for a new sedan type replacement, the Mazda6 seems to be getting rave reviews in the auto press
I really like the Mazda 6, it's a bit more distinctive compared to all the competition. Any thoughts on the Mazda 3? A bit smaller, lighter, cheaper, but as roomy as the 6.
I rented a Subaru Legacy for the last 2 days (Mustang sprung a coolant leak Monday morning). Pleasant car, more than enough room for me, adequate power. I imagine all the cars in its class will be about the same. I drove the Fusion a few months ago and it was very roomy as well. I want to try to rent a Mazda 6 or 3.
Frank:
My son has a '09 MazdaSpeed3 hatchback. It is a very nice car with tons of power and a silky 6 speed manual trans. It is plush, very well equipped, remarkably roomy and versatile with the fold down rear seat. I've driven it a number 9f times and I like it a lot. If you want to drive it, let me know and I'll "borrow" it.

Are you seriously considering a foreign make? Really? And you guys can save the "but it's built in such and such" arguments. At the end of the day, the profit dollars leave our shores. Or worse, buy some of it. FORD make great products. If you want smaller take a look at the various Focus models, too.
I don't see the benefit of the hybrid in my case, 100 miles round-trip, almost all off-peak highway driving.Sucks about the sho. The wife and I just bought a 14 fusion energi to replace my escort wagon as a commuter. I drive 60 miles round trip mixed highway and city, and am averaging 60ish combined. It costs about a dollar a day to charge, and that takes care of the first 20 miles. After the initial charge is depleted it acts like a normal hybrid. Loads nicer than a prius, and handles better too.
