Here it is... with SYNC! If they only made a two-door it would be in the driveway instead.

Dash & SYNC
Very nice!! I really like the new Fusion. I'm glad to see Ford building top notch vehicles again.
Wow that instrument cluster is awesome!!!
Congrats! My 06 doesn't have the sync or I'd help you out with it. My Mom's 09 has it and she likes it real well. They are great cars!
Nice choice man...Fusions kick ass. My wife bought a Sport last summer and we love it. Rides & drives awesome, looks good, and has plenty of spooge too. Its one of the best cars I've yet to own (T-bird is #1).

We always liked the Lincoln MKZ very much but that is way out of price range, so the Fusion was a great compromise with basically the same great looks since they are based on the same designs.
I love the headlamps of this car!
Man does my Tbird look ragged next to our newer Fords... But that black metallic paint on the Fusion is giving me lots of inspiration!
I agree the black metallic is sharp. The thing I was most impressed by was the interior...Ford has come a long way with its interior quality in the last few years. And the synch is just plain cool as well. I like the idea of it for my wife...it seems a lot safer when talking on the phone.
Ford has come along way period!
I agree about the great interior quality Fords have now. The interior on my Mustang is pretty good but there was such a huge improvement in the dash and console quality for 2010. Too expensive of a thing to retrofit! I am just glad to have the 2010 leather seat covers for peanuts!
We liked the new Taurus too but too dang expensive!
We have a 2010 Fusion Hybrid and love it! Got 80.3 mpg as our highest so far
Now that's cool... I love driving ours. I drove it on the intersate for the first time today... carring a new shower door in the back with the seats folded down. That car will swallow a load... uh... that didn't come out right did it? LOL! Anyway, I could have carried the same load in my Mustang but the narrow cut-out between the taillamps makes it impossible to slide in a long load. I tried it with new shower walls the other day and it would not go.
Nice car. Check out that orange peel! :p LOL. I only point it out, because I have a black car and it is just as bad if not worse. I really wanted an AWD Sport, but no manny was a deal breaker. :(
They must have old paint booths in Mexico... LOL!
I've been tempted to get one of those. The thing that would be a must is that it would be black with the grille painted black, and it not be the 4 cylinder. Unless they are rated for alot more power than I think they are. I have a 97 taurus with the ohv 3.0 and its gutless and cant get out of its own way.
Get a Fusion man! It's a great car. If you are concerned about power then go for the 6 cyl. You will be very happy with the power of the V6. We got a 4 cyl. and while it is great on gas, it could use a little more umph. However the 4-cyl is rated at 175 HP. My girl is a conservative driver and does not care all that much about how much power it has compared to the safety benefit of just having a larger car with power options again. I am sort of used to 4 cyl. cars since my last car was a Cavalier 2.2 and the car we just traded was a Yaris 4-cyl. Actually the Yaris had pretty good power for a small car with a 4 cyl. But then again it was a very light car. The Fusion is bigger than the Tbird. I drove the Fusion quite a bit the last couple days off I had and the power is satisfactory for a 4-cyl. However if it were my choice I would have gotten the 6.
The grille issue is a simple fix. I would not be as concerned about what can easily be changed. You can always rough up the chrome grille and paint it black or opt to buy a Fusion grille already black and sell the chrome one on eBay or something. It's likely there is someone out there with a Fusion Sport that would like to have a chrome grille instead of a black one simplu because that person might like the bling. It's possible you could even do a trade. Find a Fusion forum like we have here and I am sure someone might turn up wanting a chrome grille to trade for a black one.
I rented a Fusion in January for a week and was very impressed. It got an average of 33 mpg and had a ton of power. I was very surprised when I lifted the hood and saw it was a four; thought it had so much power it had to be a six.
Very nice looking new car but 50tbrd88 got you beat with the pretty lady next to his.

Oh i need my pretty lady to pose now!
Wow the new post notifications in my email have gone wacked! I keep getting multiple notifications on posts since about an hour or so ago.
Hey thanks...I've got a hot lady with a hot car. I am a lucky guy!! Now if I could just get her to think my T-bird is cool. She's not a fan of it at all.
My folks got a blue monochrome '10 Fusion last fall. They love it. It's comfy for even me, and fuel economy has been very good. Extremely well-built vehicle. It has the Moon 'n Tune package with power moonroof, SYNC and unique 18" wheels.
Really me off that my folks have a car with bigger tires than either of my cars.

Nice looking Fusion. Seems like you don't see too many that color. On a side note, what is with the 70s model Firebird/TA nose I see poking out of the garage??
Pfft. We bought a Malibu.
I wouldn't use this stock pick but the car is dirty :p

That's weird, because I see a ton of Fusions in the color (2010 and previous versions). But I've seen only one other '10 in that blue with the monochrome grille like my folks have. Their particular car was fresh into the dealer and we demoed it about an hour after it rolled off the truck. The next day, my folks went to decide on color and features...they came home with the car they demoed. There was a red monochrome at the dealer at that time but we haven't seen it around. Dad loved the chrome grille on the '10 and WAS really looking forward to having that...then they end up with the seemingly uncommon monochrome version. Go figure. ;)
The Firebird is my brother's 1973 Trans Am that he's restoring. It's been almost 20 years in the making. Trust me...you don't want to know.
I noticed the wheel size compared to my old Tbird parked right net to it... It's like looking down and noticing your pecker is too small! LOL!
Really though the Fusion dwarfs the Tbird and I would have never thought it would until I seen it parked in the driveway next to the Bird. It has a lot to do with the high hood and roofline on the Fusion, not to mention the gigantic rear end.
