2013 FFH Ice Storm

[gbb0131]

I currently have a 2010 FFH in Light Ice Blue Metallic and am planning on getting a 2013 FFH after the 1st of the year. Has anyone actually seen an Ice Storm in person? I'm wondering what the color difference is between the Light Ice Blue & Ice Storm. I got the Light Ice Blue mainly because I hadn't seen any around town and it was exclusive to the Hybrid line. Probably going to get White or Bordeaux.

 

Would like to get the Titanium trim line instead of the SE, but I don't do black as an interior or exterior color... :-(

I haven't seen one, but have noted in other postings that it's a good idea to go view a color in person rather than relying on the 360-view on the Ford site, as I think the color shown on the web site is a shade lighter than the car's actual color. I was ready to order a Bordeaux Reserve FFH and dealer already had the order in the system and was just waiting for me to come sign the purchase order before hitting "send" and as I drove into the lot there was an 2013 SE with Bordeaux Reserve and I was surprised at how much darker it looked in person, so much so that I changed to Ruby Red (which looked too light for me on the web site but was just right for me when seeing it in person).

 

So hopefully you can see your favorite color in person, if not on the Fusion they have some of the same colors for the Mustang, Taurus, etc so maybe you can get a good look at another model with that same color.

 

Good luck!

I have seen one, and it is much more green in shade than blue.... I don't think it does the car justice... Personally

Yeah I've seen it, it doesn't look good, imho.

I think it falls into the pastel color scheme. I called to see if it was on a lot . The salesman said "oh the green one, yes" It was late when I got there and the dealers lights where on. The car looked blue! Alot like the ice blue color from 08. But in daylight it looks light green. The wife likes it so...! I have my truck to drive.luckily. Check it out first.

Whatever you do, make sure it has the 17" wheels and Michelins, or you will not be happy with the crappy MPG it returns. Trust me on this. No matter what I tried, it will not get anywhere NEAR EPA. I can't 100% confirm that the tires are the reason, but you cannot argue the fact that it is only getting 36 MPG. Hell I drafted a damned SEMI and only got it up to 41 MPG, in 78* weather, and dry pavement doing 60 MPH! I did that in a Prius and got 75MPG! I can get 50 MPG in my 2010, and damn near wish I drove that one instead, at least I KNOW I would get in the 40's with it!

 

Between that, the small gas tank, and the Adaptive cruise control cutting out when too much rain spray gets into it, I am ready to tell the dealer to take it and shove it! I love driving the car, dont get me wrong, It is a really nice car, but I could have saved $10K and bought a focus for 36 MPG!
