Looks like the Toyota Avalon was PFI with a six speed auto up until the 2018 model year, at which point it is going DI.
I think the Camry went DI a year earlier.

naturally aspirated cars left?

Wow! Your 2017 Fusion has 47K already??

Yep, and ZF 8-speed trans to go with it which I think is nicer than Fusion's 6-speed unit (6F), but for put-putting around town, I suppose either one will do. I tried driving a Fusion Sport in a somewhat spirited manner, and I remember it could have benefited from a better trans. The gearing was weird and trans programming not very responsive.

The tend is all turbo and DI these days and it seems, to me at least, that the new Elantra sticks out as a simpler engine that may indeed get trough a 10 year period with the least mechanical issues.
Thanks
Look for something with a 20 year old design.

Curious why GDI falls under non naturally aspirated? A NA engine isn't defined by its fuel system. It has to do with its air intake. No turbo, no supercharger, pistons pulling air into the engine, is NA to me. And GDI engines pull the air in via piston vacuum. Please explain

I think the fusion is staying around for a while yet. Ford has access to a 9 speed auto they jointly designed with GM, I think they just focused their resources on getting the f150 10-speed dialed in and programmed just so. That 10-speed is also going into the 2019 ranger which I just might buy. Twin scroll 2.3 that’s going to be a torque monster in a midsize pickup, and the potential to get the same mileage as my current Fusion. I get 24-25 with 50-50 city/hwy and I have a heavy foot.
That 2.3 can get 30mpg in the mustang

I'd sure think about an EB Ranger if I could get a crew cab with a short bed that would actually fit in my garage...
They are offering it in supercab and supercrew. One wheelbase. I’m hoping they’ll offer a regular cab at some point but no signs of that for 2019
Are the Mirage and Spark still non-DI?
There are several engines that are now using both port and direct injection, giving the advantages of both without the drawbacks of DI only, and also allowing the use of a higher compression ratio for higher efficiency. Mazda's Skyactiv is one application of this kind of technology.
