Ford takes back #2 spot in U.S. sales! by cannon3

Yeah! an American company is back in #2 spot! Much of this reason is because of the Fusion sales along with the Focus sales is what the article said. Granted overall sales are still down compared to last year.
Fusion/Milan are getting noticed. The article also said some of these sales increases could be from those who don't want to buy from GM/Chrysler because of the bankruptcy issue. Fusion/Milan Hybrid along with getting good 4cyl MPG numbers is putting Ford on the radar again. I remember reading posts in this same forum saying Ford will never survive, never best a Toyota, never do anything right.
Lets give credit where credit is due now folks.

I must have missed those.

Um, a certain frequent poster who insists that the Duratec engines are 2-3 generations behind. . .
 
Does this jog your memory, grad?

'09 Fusion w/ESC vs 2010 Fusion by fusionguy

If anyone would have an answer to this question, I would appreciate it.
I am debating on whether to buy an '09 Fusion SEL 4 cylinder with AdvanceTrac ESC or the '10 Fusion SEL 4 cylinder. I asked a Ford salesman if the '09 Advance Trac system came with Traction Control on the 4 cylinder, and he didn't know. He thought Traction Control was a separate option.
I read in the '10 Fusion brochure that Ford has added Brake Activated Traction Control to their AdvanceTrac.
Does this mean that Traction Control wasn't included with their AdvanceTrac on '09 4 cylinder models?? Thanks.

I'm not an expert, but I do have a little bit of insight I'll share...
 
Last June my parents bought a 2008 Taurus SEL. It came standard with Traction Control, but didn't have the ESC option. To the best of my knowledge, you CAN have Traction Control without ESC, but if you have ESC, you automatically have Traction Control.

2010 Milan Taillights by fusionguy

I test drove a new 2010 Milan Premier 4 cylinder this evening... great car, great mpg, extremely quiet and solid, handled great, very comfortable.
I'm curious about the new taillights on the '10 Milan, as the brochure has a close-up photo of the lights with them turned on. The photo shows the LED lights on the trunk lid section and the quarter panel all turned on.
But on the Milan I drove tonight, the lights only light up on the quarter panel section, not on the trunk lid, when the brake lights and taillights are turned on. The salesman was surprised too when I showed him the difference between the car and the photo in the Milan brochure with all of the taillights illuminated.
Did Mercury change this taillight design after production started? Anyone out there know why they did this? They need to illuminate the trunk lid lights too as it sure makes a more complete and upscale appearance.

sony stereo opinions by petras2

any opinions on the sony stereo option? I've read mixed reviews...considering that you have to spring for the uplevel sel or sport just to order it and then pay extra for the moon/tune package, is it worth the extra 3-4K?

How could a radio be worth another $3,500? If you don't want the moonroof and added goodies, , just have a custom stereo system installed after market.

3 New Fusions by cannon3

In just today, I saw 3 new 2010 Fusions!! This is a shock in this economy. Nice to see a different sedan on the road rather than the sea of Camry/Accords...

Just saw a Fusion Sport today. The pics in magazines and the internet does not do this car justice. Much better in person, especially the silver! Our local Ford dealer only had one and it was sold. They let us climb in and about it but could not drive it. I seriously doubt the navi is worth the extra $$$$ over the moon/tune package. Plus those back up sensors looks like a pain to wax around. I could say the navi sounded the same if not worse than the regular Sony. Only complaint was the cheezy hood prop. I could also do w/o the keypad on the door, can this option be avoided? Now come on Ford, 0-60 is 7sec on a 3.5 V6? I'm sure a magazine will prove that a tad too long. The Taruas has the same plant and is about 100lbs lighter and Malibu is heavier and quiker with less hp.
