325 horsepower, a (hopefully better calibrated) 8-speed, and AWD might be helping it a bit. Seeing it in something other than ruby red would help too, but small steps.

Too bad the Sport wasn’t around when my parents were car shopping. That would’ve fixed my dad’s complaints about there not being a V6!

Also, thank you Ford for reorganizing the center console so the cup holders aren’t getting in the way of your arm on the center console and moving the shifter. I do genuinely think that is one of my mom’s biggest gripes with the car.

Boy, I just hope with this new one the bump up factory quality control a bit. That’s still my biggest complaint for ours, as documented on here.

I love the ruby red

I’m more of a black or blue kind of person. Especially since the Tuxedo Black Metallic on our Fusion looks so damn good on the car.

Is the Mondeo ST back?!

It looks like a four door Mustang, with the “gill” DRLs replaced with separate high beams. This isn’t a bad thing at all.

I’d assume this is essentially that. If Ford sends it to Europe-land, but with their “One-Ford” thing or whatever it’s called I imagine they will.

It has DRLs now? Finally. Though I think ‘15s and ‘16s have them on the current one, our ‘14 doesn’t.

I want it...

Yup.

They double as parking lights when the headlights are on.

OH THE MUSTANG.

I thought you were talking about the Fusion. Derp.

Quick and dirty color changes. (Very dirty for the white and orange, apologies.)

Did the dealer ever figure out what was going on with your mom’s Fusion?

That blue. Yuuuusss.

Nothing, apparently. The gas smell went away so I dunno if they fixed something and didn't tell us or if they just resealed the tank and it fixed it.

Interesting. Well, I hope the refreshed model gets a boost in the QC department.
