I was going to say that it was more comparable to a Legacy, but I think the Fusion is still a better competitor still, not like the Impreza/SHO comparison. I didn't realize that you could get an AWD 265hp Fusion, that's awesome, forget the SHO.
I was really liking the SHO until that weight thing, lame, the Fusion is lighter, tighter and a better sized car all-around, I'm with OnURleft.
