I compared my Fusion Sport to a late model Charger R/T on the highway last night. We compared between 70-120MPH, the Fusion very slowly pulled away. I was pretty happy about the results since thats a car known to run high 13s stock. Im sure he was more than a bit confused as to why he didnt leave a Ford Fusion in the dust.
What have you compared your Fusion Sport to?

This. I'm in an 08 335 and there is a noticeable difference, but the ride, noise, and tech keep me interested in the FS. Just haven't been able to pull the trigger.Or he wasn't even trying.

I rented a Charger R/T awhile back when traveling. It has a wicked engine rumble/sound, but it got old for day-to-day for me. It did get down and go, but it's not even close to the Sport as far as the total package goes.

I compared it to my new Lincoln MKZ I decided the added luxury and power was worth the extra money.

The two cars run identical acceleration times, but the Charger no longer offers AWD with a V8.
I'd be unpleasantly surprised too if I were him! The 335 and FS should run side by side.
Not sure why he backed off, FS and SHO run same 0-60/quarter mile times.

You're not far off the mark. I paid about 17500 more than the Fusion Sport I was offered. To each their own. The stereo and the more comfortable seats sealed the deal for me. And the 4 years of everything being covered under the warranty.

same reason I have a part time job at the local target. Keeps you grounded 
Honestly I came here because the cars are similar but the sport crowd is much more active. Especially in mods and times. Lincoln... not so much.

The MKZ I looked at would have cost $20k more than my FS, but that's only because I was looking at a Black Label with every option except the panoramic roof (thoroughbred theme, driver's, climate, and technology packages, 400HP motor, multi-contour seats and all weather mats). I like my cars loaded.

Mines that exact build but chalet theme. I'm hopefully taking delivery in under 2 weeks. I got word last Tuesday it's on the train so it's making its way here.

I could never do the white seats. I'm a rigger, so I get dusty climbing the rafters and roof trusses at the convention centers here in Vegas.

To be completely honest I am not fully thrilled about the white seats only because it's going to be hard to keep clean. But I couldn't take the tan leather from the thoroughbred and let's not even mention the Vineyard 🤢. I would much prefer just black seats but I can't pass up the black label Perks.

The Thoroughbred Theme is mostly black inside. Only the top of the dash, the waterfall and the tops of the doors are tan. That's why I wanted it. It was also blue outside, which I like.

Yep. I think the brown is just ugly. I'll take the pain in the ass to keep clean white interior over the ugly brown uppers. The white and black compliment each other extremely well. I'm still debating on whether to do a protection coating on the leather or not... Or just have them clean the interior every year when I bring the car by for it's annual inspection of it's coating. Either way everyone has different tastes and the assistant sales manager who let me play with his ultima system had the thoroughbred in his... I just can't do it.
