Seeing other 2013 Fusions

[dalesky]

The HyTi is the same, they didnt do the twin pipes as the gas Ti which is kind of dumb. The twin pipes really set the Ti apart from the SE/S models.

I may look into getting dual exhaust but doubt Ford would do it.

I have been seeing quite a few in my Rea now, which is a tourist Mecca (Myrtle Beach).

[dalesky]

They are starting to show up more here now. Gotta say,they are great looking cars.

Heard from Trina at Ford that mine, built 4-8, may not show up until 5-8. I will be in Nashville next week, but wanted to have it to drive there!

I haven't seen many other hybrids but I did just see a Sterling Gray hybrid drive by outside the office. I tried to get a picture but being on the 5th floor it's too small to see the car below

I saw another one today; a rare Ginger Ale "only" FF EB not a bad color I must say but I have yet to see a bad looking color.

If only Ford had built that assembly plant in SC instead of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, you'd be driving your new FFH to Nashville. OR, if American railroads functioned like German railroads, you'd have it by now. It's a long way from Mexico to Myrtle Beach, I guess, but it will get there.

We saw another black hybrid the other day. There's a hotel next to the grocery store and it appears that this FFH was staying at the hotel. The dealer on the back (Sonju) is located in Two Harbors, MN which is way up north on the shore of Lake Superior.

We see a lot more gas Fusions around the Twin Cities now, but very few hybrids. That's always the first thing I look for when I see a Fusion is to see if it says "Hybrid" on the door or on the trunk. We're starting to see more C-Maxes too

I saw a DIB Hybrid yesterday and felt sad for a moment, then realized I was driving the Flex and got giddy.....is that wrong?

[corncobs]

Just drove up to Santa Barbara; I saw a silver FFH passing me and a white one going south on 101.

[hybridbear]

Saw my first HyTi on the road today here, a Tuxedo Black Metallic one driving down the street right near our apartment

[dalesky]

Mine is still the only hybrid I've seen. Got lots of favorable comments at my regular men's breakfast today. Especially when I talked about the 2 week average MPG of 41!

So you can now see over the melting snow drifts? Haha

Two Harbors is a spectacular area of the country! Also, on the shore of Superior few bugs, unlike in the woods. Here we are removing large gators from my neighborhood this week. One 7 footer gone, and one 10 foot to go.

I see a Borduex Fusion every so often parked in Woodstock, the driver was a woman with a daughter, saw them getting it in one day when I drove past it. Regular fusion though.

[elle]

I'm starting to see quite a few of them now. There is a silver in my neighborhood and also a ruby red. I pass a woman driving a silver one just about every day on my way to work and just last week saw a man in a bordeaux one a couple of times.

 

It still strikes me as an incredibly good looking car. Yesterday we went to visit friends who have been in the car before, and when we got there they were raving about how beautiful the car and color looked as we approached their house and pulled into their driveway. It helps that I just had it waxed that morning, of course.

[acdii]

I did see a Silver one drive by my house last week, older woman driving it. Looks like a car that appeals to all ages now.

[corncobs]

@ acdii but you haven't seen the RR in CL yet ;-)

I think there is another RR somewhere in Algonquin or LITH driven by an older gentleman.

[acdii]

All in the timing. I roll through CL between 7 and 7:30 and roll out between 4:15 and 5 PM. I havent seen many at all, mainly a black one and a silver one.

Too late and too early in order to see me; some day it will happen

I saw a 2013 on I45 just north of Huntsville, Texas on Friday night (it was too dark to tell if it was a Hybrid or not). Unfortunately, the tail lights were out :-(, and the headlights looked as dim as a cheap flashlight. I'm starting to get a little nervous about build quality...

In this case I would question the quality of the driver and not the car.

Ah you think they just didn't have their lights on and what I saw was DRLs? That would honestly make me feel better. Edited May 20, 2013 by Aquineas

Some day you may see a Tuxedo Black HyTi, and maybe I will see a Ruby Red SE.

 

I saw a Ruby Red regular Fusion Ti go past my house today...I drooled.

That could be too if it was a fleet car but I would bet my money on the parking lights.

If they had no rear lights on then yes. The rental fleet Fusions I've seen use the park lights as the DRLs
