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.
I had a nice comparison with a 335 (probably 2011) this past weekend. Probably only 0-60km/h. I wasn't really paying attention to the speed and I let up as soon as I couldn't see him beside me anymore.
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.
Hmmm.. it is possible comparing the numbers, but that would definitely make an interesting run... up to driver at that point I would think ? Or am I just thinking out of the box
I tried to compare with a SHO this afternoon on the interstate. He chickened out. As he pulled up along side me, I nailed it. He then proceeded to pull in behind me. Must have scared him pretty good.
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.
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.

Oh don't mistake it. I wasn't offended or anything. Lol. It's all good my friend. My super fusion is better. I mean why else would all you fusion guys spend all your time trying to make your car into an MKZ

We come here to stay connected to the plebs and to know what it's like to be poor 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. Been a long 3 months waiting

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.
Hey welcome to The official Fusion sport Vs a KIA stinger thread..
Anyone have any kill stories yet? iim sick of folks saying that 50K krap is better than our 30K sports..
Looks like it will check all the FS boxes, except price. But at least someone is
still going to be making a car close to the sport.

Maybe price might not even be that bad, granted would have to wait a...
On my way from Tampa to the Ft Lauderdale Int Boat Show , I came across a beautiful woman driving a silver/grey Stinger GT awd. Once we hit SR 60 that crosses the rural part of the state we were side by side. She kept jumping the throttle and wanted a go. So, from a 50 roll and a count of 1,2,3...
I noticed on Car & Driver they had a long term test for 2018 Accord 2.0 turbo. This Accord has 252HP and 273LBS of torque. It has way less in HP and Torque than the FS yet it gets way more out of those numbers than the FS. The beginning time for the Accord 0-60 was 5.7 seconds by 40,000 miles...
Was this based off fusion at all, looks really familiar
