Hello I am new to the forum.
I just purchased a Lightening Blue Fusion Sport from Lasco Ford (Fenton,MI) on 7/26. I actually saw the video posted on this forum of the Platinum White Sport posted on the morning of 7/26 and called them to find out if they had any to test drive. They showed me pictures of a Black Fusion Sport that they had outside the showroom. When they asked what features I was interested in - I just said that I wanted a Lightning Blue one. The one they happened to have on the lot has the 401A option package, sunroof, and NAV. (I didn't really want NAV - but this was the first dealership in the area that even had any to test drive. All the other dealers that received them - the cars had already been purchased and went directly to customers.
A little about me. I previously had a 2010 Fusion SEL as a daily driver. (I also have a 1998 C5 Corvette Convertible as my summer toy). I had put over 140,000 miles on my previous Fusion and have nothing but good things to say about it. I grew up more of a GM guy than a Ford guy. In general I like the looks of the Fusion better than all the other midsize cars offered right now. I had seen the Fusion Sport at the Detroit Auto Show and had followed every article I could find about this car. I wanted to test drive it before I considered buying it - well I bought it the same night that I drove it. I was also considering buying a GMC Sierra. The more I drive it the more fun it is! It handles great, pulls hard, and the Apple Car Play and Sync 3 are really cool features. I am still breaking it in and only have 250 miles on it in a couple days. It doesn't seem to pull as hard as the Corvette, but hey its a family sedan, and serves a completely different purpose.
I like that I can drive this car all year round in Michigan winters, and the rear seats fold down - so I can put my ski's or Mt. bike in the trunk. Meanwhile, I can still have some fun driving to and from work with some passengers. I think Ford has a hit on their hands. Just about anything else with AWD costs alot more.
