Really?
It's a Ford. Basically looks like a bloated Focus, sits as high as the Sable did, roofline is as high as an escape.

Ok, never seen it before.

well these are 2010-2012 models... I went to look at one they had listed online, only 15k mi, the city had already purchased it. and the one at their main dealer with 5k mi...
( then just yesterday dad told me he read that the local PD is replacing some of their remaining crownvic's with "used Hybrids"...I put 2+2 together today... those Fusions are going to be turned into cop cars...)



Thanks for sharing and those Fusions are going to become junk within 3 years.

Nice! I always liked the C-Max. Wish they came in non-Hybrid versions. Like you say, just like a Focus but with maybe 20% extra space.

Hmmm, makes me wonder if I could take a crashed Focus ST and swap the entire power train and suspension into a C-Max body 🤔

in theory...Focus/C-max/Escape/Transit Connect... should all be swap-able...in theory....

Our 2014 Fusion Hybrid ICE gets hot enough to deal with moisture … at 110k, have never seen the milky business you described … run around 7k on M1 or PG 5w20 based on the OLM …
Probably going to 5w30 next OCI …

But you're in Texas.
This car has been in MI, and IN it's whole life, driven by old people, and it's still winter...

I think we have a user on North-East coast with one.
I think the guy makes neat stuff/gun stocks from walnut wood? (can't remember user name)
