Actually, at this point, should get rid of it entirely. Let EVs survive on their own merits.

I told her I extended my lease until March. She said she would call me back in February.

They had me jump through all their hoops and then came back to say the price is an error and they want $29.5k.

Didn’t take much of a drive since I wouldn’t be interested in the automatic, but I mostly wanted to see how the fit and comfort is, and it’s great. No issues at all fitting my 6’ 3” frame in the drivers seat. So much better choice that way than a Miata.
It’s attractive enough, but it doesn’t necessarily set my heart afire (like the Supra did). But it’s handsome for sure.

At MSRP probably a better deal than a lightly used gen 1 too.

Maybe I should go ask if they will trade me even up for the Maverick!

And, I reserve the right to snowbird at a time and place of my choosing. Ok, who are we kidding; at a time and place of her choosing.

The price on that Fusion was really low. Car does have a great maintenance history, though.
Is that a prop plane that’s about to land in your back yard?

Another way is to tally how often you have to deal with an issue (like once every 3 or 4 months), or just an annual/occasional hiccup?
For me the constant nagging every 3 or 4 months issues on the domestic were more bothersome.

You tell em. Your tax bill was probably around half of that.

And the tax man cometh today!!!!! Picking up the S4 this afternoon!!!

That Fusion Sport compared to a 4 Cyl Fusion(or even a 2010 V6) is like comparing your Mustang to your Sebring, performance wise.

I will admit that I still kind of like the Supra 3.0-I’d take one over a new M240i-but the inept Toyota dealers cool my enthusiasm to an extreme degree.

I definitely want something with a manual, but I think I want something a bit more premium. The Supra definitely spoiled me, as it felt like the BMW coupe it is, and even the bargain 228i had a nice premium feel to it.
The new Z may have that more upscale feel. But I'll probably continue the ongoing search for a 2-series. I could be interested in anything from a 230i, to an M240i to an M2.

And what about the BRZ? Since it's such an outlier in their lineup, how proud will their dealers be?

And I already contacted a Subaru dealership about 60 miles away that will order for MSRP.
So to your point on it holding its value, I still may get one as a tweener. And I’m a bit more drawn to the Subaru…it’s supposedly a little more compliant (subtle I’m sure). And the 86 has an added “duck” spoiler that the BRZ forgoes.

It’s actually a mid five second car. Still no ball of fire, but it is a small light car with three pedals. The plan would be owning one for 12-18 months in hopes of M2 prices returning to sanity. But you are right about the six second threshold; I would never buy a late model car slower than my wife’s X1.

Also - Forgot to post pictures of the M235i. It's currently in storage, so I'll take some in the spring once the snow goes away (meaning May around here)
Other than that - still like the e-tron, and the neighbors are all very interested in learning more about it as well. I definitely see us continuing to have one EV in our fleet. My wife even enjoys driving it.
Fusion is a family car, not a race car. 240hp is plenty. Especially for less than a third of the price.
The 85hp difference between the two Fusions isn’t close to the near 300 hp difference between the Sebring and the Mustang.

I think @stickguy asked yesterday about the status of my wife’s 4Xe Wrangler. I don’t know. The broker doesn’t know. The contact at the dealer doesn’t know. It’s being fixed by the holding lot. I couldn’t tell you if they are waiting for parts or if there is some sort of COVID related delay. I’m waiting very patiently. This is some sort of sign. I think if I take delivery this month that I get the ACQ fee waiver as well as affiliate pricing.

The torque difference is huge and the last gen Fusions were pretty nice cars maybe short on rear headroom.
Those Duratec's are not very smooth, ok in an SUV but not a sedan.
My first Fusion had the 3.0-6.

If they can’t deliver the car you shouldn’t lose anything. If they try to screw you about that, unless you have a non-refundable deposit, you should walk away.
I hope I’m wrong but I wouldn’t put it past anyone (factory, dealer, holding lot etc.) involved in the car biz to play games with delivery now that they see how much some buyers with hot pants are willing to pay for a car. Like I said, I hope I’m wrong about this.
Good luck

I drive a lot of Fusions in the rental fleet and liked them enough to buy the 2010. I like the ergonomics of the 2010-12 better than the newer ones because of the A pillar slope.
It all depends on what you’re looking to get out of the car I suppose. He uses his for Uber where great acceleration would be a negative.
You got me thinking about Fusion prices and I recall seeing a new 2019 SE at a dealer a few years back selling for $20k, the same as that misprinted 2018.My, how times have changed.

even saw the lights in action for the first time. Seemed fine. low and high beams. Another plus.
I really think these are going to continue to be hot sellers. so probably good for me that it is going to be a while before they come close to production catching up to demand!

Need? Huh? Want, more like it.
My parents since moved to the county seat, and I moved to the "big city." Our respective houses are both at far lower risk of an extended power outage, but we both have small generators and bypass switches for the gas furnaces, which should make maintaining heat during a power outage a relatively minor inconvenience. I think a larger generator and bypass circuit breaker would be overkill, but I do have enough extension cords to keep the internet connection and my fridge going at the same time, and could temporarily disconnect everything to run the microwave or toaster oven to heat up a meal.
