Oman Report post Posted May 20, 2009 I was just about to order a tuxedo black 502a package when I decided to run another (unfortunately more difficult than it needs to be) wide-area inventory search. After hearing "it is already sold" or "we are keeping it for demos for now" 5 times I finally got the answer that I was looking for... "It is for sale and not yet committed". 6 hours later I was driving home my new FFH. For the past 6 years I have been driving an Expedition - the last one an EB EL. I now commute 64 miles round-trip, but if I have to spend that kind of time in a vehicle I want to be comfortable, feel safe, and be able to have fun! The Fusion was the only car I would even consider trading my truck in for. I drove everything else under the sun. Everything either did not get good enough mileage to bother with, drove like a tin can on square wheels, couldn't get out of its own way, or was so ugly I would have wanted darkly tinted windows to hide behind. I've had this car three days now and I absolutely love it. I'm a fairly lead-footed driver and I'm getting around 37mpg vs. my Expedition at 15mpg for the same trip. I just wish they would drop the Mercury brand and stop holding out features. 8-way power seats with no memory? No HID?(They are nearly 3x more energy efficient) No universal remote? I could have chosen the Merc but the exterior is just, well, not nearly as nice as the Fusion to put it mildly. This is also the first car I've had any interest in customizing in any way. Odd.
