They are advertising 7500 off 09 Fusions here. One dealer leaves the keys in them at night unattended. Meanwhile, for all us who have to have a test drive to buy, you can't find a 2010 to try out.

Down here in central Georgia, one dealer has the '09 Fusion S with automatic (MSRP 20,220) advertised for $14,990. That's $2000 below Elantra money here.

You can get a very good idea by driving an 09, that's what I did. With the improvements such as more sound deadening, electric assist power steering, improved suspension, better aerodynamics and improved stereo, among others, will make the ride even better.

A local Ford dealer in northern NJ has a half dozen '10s on the lot and shown on its web site, warnockauto.com . Non-hybrids, 4 and 6 cylinder models.

Have you driven a Toyota Camry or Avalon lately? Steering is crap. Steering is important to me (I'm weird that way, as I like to be able to put the car where I want it). Anybody considering a Camry over a Fusion should really do 2 things:
 
1. Read the many car reviews by experts at Car And Driver, Motor Trend, Automobile, etc., about the wallowy steering in the Camry.
 
2. Drive one yourself if you can't believe its that bad. It is that bad. I drove a couple, and still can't believe that a decent company like Toyota could do this. Very non-competitive of Toyota to do that. Almost every other vehicle is better.
 
Then, you'll appreciate what the engineers at Ford have done with the Fusion.

I guarantee you that at least 8 out of 10 prospective Camry buyers would have no problems with the steering and would not notice the difference between a Camry and a Fusion. It's just not important for the vast majority of the public.

Steering isn't important. Thats a concept.
If people really tested/compared the Fusion to the Camry, they would see the difference. Ignorance is bliss, I know. I feel it should be left to the experts who test cars, since emergency handling/steering is important, and the ability to point the vehicle where you want it is important.

Deals Must Be Great on '09 Fusion by coldcranker

Anybody got a great deal on a new '09 Fusion yet? With the '10 model just coming out, and sales a little slow anyway, I'll bet the '09 Fusion can be had for a song. I'd personally rather have a 4cyl '10 Fusion, but if the '09 is cheap enough, by a few thousand, it would be worth the diff.

In youngstown OH area they are being advertised at 35% off sticker. Advertised mind you. Of course this includes all the cash incentives rather than the 0% financing.

Just like the "buy American only" people are ignorant to the serinity that the Camry offers since they won't check out "one of those import cars."
 
I'm not a Camry fan, but what akirby is saying makes absolute sense to me. I'd wager a vast majority of people look for the same things in a dishwasher that they look for in a car. Plenty of room, some nice features, and something they can use daily without giving it a second thought. For those people, there's Camry.
