Well, I got the car! It's a Fusion Titanium Hybrid in Platinum White with dark charcoal interior. It's only 2.5 days old and has 79 miles on it. Got it with the sunroof, heated steering wheel, and cooled seats. I'm going to bring it back in to get the trunk cargo net and some mud guards. I really like it so far. I would 't have normally gotten the sunroof, but it's hard to find a stock car without the sunroof. I didn't feel like waiting on a special order. Same for the rear spoiler. Could have done without that, too. The MyFord Touch is sooooooooo much better than the crappy Toyota Entune system I had in the PriusV! I'll post some shots of it in the wild soon.

Well, I put the deposit down on a new 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid tonight. I'm not new to hybrids. I currently have a 2013 Toyota Prius V5. I know, I know, so new.... I like the PV5 mechanics, the mileage, but I hate the entertainment system and the road noise! Entune just really sucks! I can't say enough about how bad it is. Our other car is a C-Max SEL, and I'm telling ya Ford Sync is awesome by comparison! My daily commute includes about 16 miles one-way of highway driving, and the road noise in the PV5 is so bad I have to crank the volume up a lot. And the noise makes me tense. So, car shopping is now a reality again. I've looked at the Camry Hybrid, and I tried to find a new Honda Accord Hybrid to look at. Good luck finding a Honda Accord Hybrid Touring! I wanted the Touring model, but no dealers in this area have them. I tried the lower end model, but found the ride rough. Though the Entune in the Camry Hybrid seems more full-featured, I have such a negative view of Entune that I don't want to try it. Plus, the looks of the Honda and Camry just don't stand up to the classy look of the Fusion! The Ford dealer near my work brought in the model equipped with what I want in the color I want. I'll have to negotiate over the add-ons I don't want. Why do they put sunroofs on most models? Ugh! I don't want one, but can't find what I do want without the sunroof, too! Hopefully I can close the deal by the end of next week!!!
