Just curious what kind of car the Fusion is replacing or potentially replacing for everyone. I'm coming from a 2013 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T.
What do you drive now?

2011 Kia Forte 5 SX with a six speed manual. The 2.4L naturally aspirated Theta engine has been kind to me, and it gets out of it's own way.

2000 Isuzu Rodeo (Replacing with an edge or explorer soon. It's paid off, gift from parents.). Lease went up on my 2012 Fusion Sport FWD in 2014 and I decided not to keep it due to constant electrical issues and hopes that a new sport would follow. And, Voila...
I ordered an Ingot Silver Fusion Sport in june this year, and I'm terribly excited for it to arrive.
Before the 2012 Sport, I had a 2011 SE (totaled) and before that was a 2008 Fusion SE 2.3L for my first car. Before that, my dad and I had been working on a 5.0 Thunderbird to be my first car but It sucked in every possible way so we sold it. Lol

Another Kia over here. I think the bigger body on the optima makes mine feel really sluggish though and i cant wait to get back into another turbocharged vehicle!

That looks really sleek. How's driveability ?
We currently have a brand new 2015 Ford F150 XLT Supercrew 4x4 with the 5.0L V8 and a 2006 Nissan Xterra. The F150 replaced my modded 2012 Fusion Sport that was totaled out last month due to an accident.
Here's the 2001 Honda Accord that caused the accident with my old Sport in the backgound:
Here's our new F150:
And our Xterra:

Thanks Fuze. It was pretty garbage at that height but an inch higher and a lot more bearable...

Dayum, sorry to see the accident but it sounds like you're OK. Diggin the F150 though
Acura TL-S currently as short term vehicle (16' S4 and 11' S4 before that.)
Bought a brand new 2010 Sport back in 2009 (my first brand new car purchase ever) but maxed out what I could with it mod wise (CAI, Borla Exhaust, Drop/Wheels, + Steeda tune via SCT.) Love and miss that car to death though. The features still had things my last S4 didn't, lol. Ambient lighting babay.
This 17' is the Sport I dreamed for when the whispers started years ago about a potential "SHO" Fusion. Was going to get back into another B8/B8.5 S4 (albeit, used) but I am tempted now to re-join the blue oval and joined the forum.
Finally checking one out tomorrow, cannot wait!!!

A newbie here- my daily driver is a 2010 Fusion Sport FWD that I purchased in early 2011 with 21k miles. Now at 179k It has been the most reliable car I've ever owned, and except new brakes at 130k, 3 sets of tires, and 2 ball joints, I've had to do nothing to this car. It still drives/runs similar to the day I bought it. Besides my 92 SHO I had way back in '94 this is the most enjoyable out of many cars over the years. But I've had to come to the realization that this car will need to be replaced in the next year or so and I am already researching my next one. The '17 Sport is obviously high on the list and although I'm bummed it doesn't have a manual option, I've been admittedly obsessed with getting any information I can find about this car ever since last January (still no official review?!!!). I'm wondering- have any of you lucky '17 Sport owners out there come directly from the first gen Sport? If so, any comparisons would be appreciated, especially regarding the suspension and transmission. Although it's rock solid reliable, it has always been the only bummer of the '10 as it isn't very "sporty". Thanks to all who have already submitted their own reviews of the '17- it's much appreciated!!

To clarity, I mean the transmission isn't very "sporty"
I'm driving my 1999 Jeep Cherokee or my wife's 1999 Saab 9-5 2.3 turbo since I turned in my 2013 Cadillac ATS (2.0 turbo, 6 speed manual) when lease expired in January. Great car, by the way. Had a 2004 Pontiac GTO until I sold it in 2014. Owned a 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2 + 2 for many years until 2013. I'm ready for a high performance car I can drive in the winter.

2006 Pontiac GTO with CAI, headers and tune: 380 rwhp/380 rwtq. It's a 6 speed, so my wife can't drive it, and even though it's been very reliable in winter it beats the **** out of me on the frost heaved roads around here. I'd love it if the Fusion were enough fun that I didn't feel I was giving up a lot to switch over...
