Fusionsport sent us these picture of his 2010 Ford Fusion Sport. Here's what he had to say:
I have had my Fusion Sport for 6 months now (at 5,500 miles). I love the power of the 3.5L, the way the Tuxedo Black Metallic paint shines in the sunlight, the design of the car, and all the electronics that aren't even available on cars twice its price.
Thanks for letting me share :)
I hope that others with a Fusion are enjoying it as much as I am.
Thanks for sharing your pictures with us, Fusionsport.

Great photos. Judging from the blue glow on the passenger's side, I'm inclined to ask if the car has ambient lighting or are the buttons throwing off that much light?

Ah, the joys of night photography at extra-legal speeds while low on fuel.

Nice car! My wife and I just bought a Red Candy Fusion SEL 3.0 with the sport tune suspension, which comes with yet a third type of alloy wheels. The suspension setup is a great mix of comfort and responsiveness. Ford is the bomb.

hey listen up teenage drivers, i guess breaking the speed limit by at least 20 or 25 mph on public roads is a-ok! (maybe more, that could be a 55mph zone, cant you go to jail for that?)

...That looks like he's going 90 on a surface street. With an empty tank.

Yeah.... nice looking car... but when I'm binging on the E on my gas tank I'm not punching the car at extra legal speeds.

Shouldn't a long-term report be about a car more than six months old?

Just thought I would let everyone know the gauges are photoshopped . Haha I was actually going like 25 mph lol

@fusionsport
I guess 'photoshopped' is a good alternative to 'professional driver on a closed course' for covering your rear ;)
Either way, beautiful car...would love to pick one of these up when I have a little more money or they start to trickle into the 1-2 year used car market.

@sgude yes it has ambient lighting. I love it so much that I installed ambient lighting in my older 95 mustang also

@dragonflight lol I guess that when no one thinks the gauges r photoshopped I should take if as a compliment lol. If u do pick one up hopefully there will be good aftermarket parts availible cause as of now there aren't too many "/

that 3.5L is a nice motor. My dad's taurus is pretty quick, I can only imagine what its like in the fusion.

I've always liked this car. I kinda see it as a 4 Door Mustang

Its funny because my sport feels significantly more powerful than the 2007 mkz that my dad has with the same engine.

I really like the looks of this car. Now if only Ford had the gumption to put a manual tranny in the Sport with the AWD option, my interest would be piqued.
Fusion SVT anyone?

"Ah, the joys of night photography at extra-legal speeds while low on fuel"
LOL, my first thoughts exactly, but hey, it seems its the joy of photoshop instead!

Of all of the midsize sedans equipped with 3.5L V6 in America, the Ford Fusion Sport is one of the ones I desire the most. I was basically drooling over Fusionsport's post. The exterior looks so sleek and sexy. The interior is chock full of techno-goodies and looks so inviting. I want that car!!!

The Fusion is a very nice car, and you can thank the Mazda 6 body structure it is based on. I like the lines of my 2007 6i 5-door better. I'm glad you have the Sport. It would be my choice. Do you have the monochrome color option?
I hope the next version of the Fusion is even more sleeker and sporty.

@rdm925 No I do not. The monochrome appearance package is not availible on the sport. I prob still would've chose the car with the chrome grille if I had a choiced between the two. Just because the lower grille on the sport goes well with the top grille.
