2010 Ford Fusion Sport: My Buddy's Back!

By Mike Musto

As most of you know I am a HUGE fan of the Ford Fusion. I ran one in last year’s Bullrun Rallyas a substitute for my wounded ’69 Daytona, so when I spotted this little blue devil at the New York International Auto Show I had to stop, admire and pay my respects to a little car that has a big spot in my automotive heart.

Fusion 1

Fusion 2

Upon closer inspection I see that Ford has upped the ante on my little favorite by giving it 265hp, all-wheel drive and a sports suspension. They’ve also improved the interior as well by providing the driver with sport leather clad bucket seats, full navigation and a cool auto-stick (man… I could have used this baby last year).

Fusion 3

Exterior wise a new front fascia with integrated fog lamps, 18″ wheels and rear dual exhaust really make for an aggressively styled package. Combine that with more interior and cargo room and it kinda makes one think twice about cars like the Subaru WRX, or Mitubishi Lancer.

Fusion 4

Ford… if you are listening, YOU NEED TO GET ME A PRESS CAR!!! I want an all-wheel drive Fusion Sport to put through its paces. Believe me when I say that if it’s anywhere near as good as the one I drove last year, then the only thing you’ve done is take a great car and made it into an outrageous one… (but I can’t say that until I drive it) … hint, hint, hint…

I like the new body style as for the whole second thought on an Sti??? not until the Fusion gets a little bit more hp and ft/lbs out of her from the factory… a special edition fusion maybe??? id go for that if it pushed similar numbers as the Sti :) 305hp Fusion id roll

Fusion seems to be a pretty cool car, and the last one was great.
