The Ford Fusion is on its way out in the North American market, meaning it doesn’t make sense for Ford to keep running a Fusion-wrapped rear-wheel-drive V8 on the track every weekend in NASCAR’s top series. Ford’s bringing in the Mustang, which there are actually 10 million of, to take its place next year.
Ford is killing off almost all of its cars and sedans in North America because modern buyers walk around in a crossover-obsessed haze, but the Fusion may stick around—kind of. Bloomberg reports that the Fusion name, at least, may live on in the form of a Subaru Outback-rivaling sport wagon.
The newest racing rendition of the Toyota Supra, which we still haven’t seen a street version of yet, by the way, debuted last week. It’ll head to the second-tier NASCAR Xfinity Series next year, trading the Supra’s drag-racing roots and historically customizable inline-six engine for the land of the screaming V8s.
There will be a new Ford Focus next year, and for now we can also enjoy the Fiesta and Fusion at our leisure. But will any of these cars be sold in the U.S. after 2018? The way things are going, that feels more in doubt than ever.
Americans stumble across the landscape in a love-drunk stupor borne out of our archnemesis, the crossover. “Give me unusually heavy and tall wagons that are okay at a lot of things but truly great at not much,” they cry. And because of the insatiable hunger, the Chevy Sonic, the Chevy Impala, the Ford Fiesta, and the…
Ford Motor Co. is recalling an estimated 1.4 million Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles in North America because the steering wheel is at risk of detaching from the steering column.
I’ve got bad news for those of us who don’t want to live in an automotive landscape solely populated with bloated SUVs and slightly less bloated crossovers: We’re boned. In case you’re still hopeful, here’s a bit of news that should kill that optimism: Ford just cancelled their refresh of their Fusion mid-size sedan,…
After Ford announced its new plan to slash costs and dump money into electrification earlier this year, changes are already starting to happen. EV production is moving to Mexico, the Flat Rock assembly plant will become an “AV center of excellence” and, allegedly, Fusion production will soon move to China, though Ford…
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating complaints that steering wheels can come loose or fall off entirely in 2014-2016 Ford Fusions.
Congratulations, Mexican smugglers! You finally found a way to make the Ford Fusion interesting, albeit in the most illegal way ever. Marijuana worth $1 million was discovered in the trunks of new Mexican-made Fusion sedans at a dealership in Ohio, reports CNN. This isn’t the first time this has happened, either.
More cars we love are going electric, yet the infrastructure needed to support all these plug-ins in is still very much a work in progress. Case in point: my short test of a 2017 Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid as an apartment dweller with no plug where I park.
Two months ago, an angelic deity (or a thirsty headline) prophesied that a new savior—a cheap, fun sedan that some might call the “Audi-Slayer”—would beam down from the Ford heavens, gracing us with tons of power and all-wheel drive. I just drove this chosen one, the 2017 Ford Fusion Sport, and it wasn’t the spiritual…
No one really cross shops a Ford Fusion and a BMW 3 Series. But now that we know it has a tire stomping 380 lb-ft of torque and costs under $34,000, could this new Ford Fusion Sport be the affordable, German-slaying American sedan we’ve been waiting for?
While other autonomous cars continue to grapple with things like trying to figure out where lanes are on poorly painted roads, Ford’s self-driving project managed to develop a vehicle that doesn’t even need to see ahead. Ford didn’t let it, either—they shut off the headlights and let the car loose in total darkness.
The updated Ford Fusion V6 Sport gets a computer-controlled shock absorber system for 2017, which can adjust the dampers every two milliseconds and won’t let the wheels fall into those damn potholes. Magic!
Ford is refreshing the look of the Ford Fusion sedan into a more aggressive, “sporty” look – which is fitting considering the company is bringing back the Fusion Sport, which is 325 hp closer to the Fusion ST we all want.
While you were getting a sandwich around the corner, Ford was announcing a recall on 451,865 cars.
Ford became the first manufacturer to test its driverless car in Fakecity, Michigan (OK, it’s not really called that—it’s called “Mcity,” which isn’t as fun), the company announced on Friday.
The Ford Fusion is the European mid-sizer we demanded, with a snout borrowed from a more expensive car. What do you need to know before you buy a Ford Fusion? Don’t worry, we’ll tell you everything right here in the Ultimate Buyer’s Guide.
