After 5 months, the '10 Fusion Hybrid is finally here. Had it built the way we liked it and it's freakin' awesome. Had it about a week and was well worth trading in the Mustang. Here's some pics...

Can't say I'd prefer it over a Mustang but it's a pretty nice car regardless! That gauge cluster especially is pretty sweet. Is it pretty quick if you get on it?

Definitely like the reworked fascias. The digital cluster is awesome. I'd be happy with one, but miss my Mustang way too much.

It's actually a lot quicker then I thought it'd be. It has a CVT, so it's always at like 6K if you floor it... takes some getting used to.

Nice looking ride! I agree the new exterior looks better and I love the interior! A guy here at work just bought one in early summer in all black. It would be very tough to give up the Stang for one, but could easily add it as a second car...IF I had the $$$

Does it have 4WD?

Anyone remember the Pixar cartoon "Mike's New Car?" Knowing myself, I'd probably hit every button on the steering wheel and center stack and all hell would break loose. (just kiddin')

Glad you're happy with your purchase.

I really like the Fusion. Ford has a great line up. I wish my wifes Escape was awd.
So how much did you get for the stang? If you dont mind me asking.

nice ride, if it means anything, once you get all the way through that period in your life where family cars are a necessity, it still feels really good to have a hot rod again. In my day it was AWD Aerostar vans, Isuzu Troopers and 4 door crew cab pick ups for mom and me. But now we have 2 mustangs and a Suzuki SUV, along with all the kids cars of course. We've come full circle except this time we have more disposable income for mods.

I drove a fusion hybrid, starting it and hearing nothing is strange. I have to agree about the power. It does go pretty good!

the new Fusion is a nice car, congrats! I still love your wheels on your fox - those cobra wheels never made it up here in Canada
