Yeah, i was okay with all of it until they decided to remove the dual exhaust and then when they put the Energis ahead of the Titaniums it was the icing on the cake. That was pretty unfortunate. They don't care, of course. They didn't lose a customer and probably did better selling me the one I'm going to end up with. I will say that I like the full leather seats rather than the "leather trim" the Titaniums were going to have.

I know! Honestly, at this point I would take any of those three colors. I really do love them all. And I didn't think i'd like the dune interior, but I do. This one also has the blind spot detection and after the test drive I'm thinking it's a must have, as well. I texted the salesperson there and asked him to go ahead and draw up the paperwork. It should be mine by the end of the day

I am inches away from closing a deal on this car. Will be driving to Carmax tonight to see what they are willing to give me on my Prius and if I like what I hear I will head from there to the Ford dealer. Drove this one on my lunch break today, she is as sweet as they come. http://tinyurl.com/by74v7e I do not mind telling you that I will be very happy to have this all behind me! Let's hope it goes down today the way I want it to.

Yeah, I'm not impressed with "soon." Happy for those of you who will be getting your Energi's, though!

I had thought both were Job 2.

It is incredibly annoying that the energis are being scheduled and the Titaniums are not.

No.

Argh. The red one that I wanted from cars.com is in TBD hell. I suppose I need to just forget about this car. It will get here when it gets here. Time to get on with my life.

No change in mine, either. At this point I'm becoming very frustrated. My dealer is no longer responding to my e-mails, and I'm beginning to question the wisdom of my loyalty. There are two cars on Cars.com that look good to me but both are apparently still in transit. The one I like the most is going to a dealer that does not seem to want to get real about discussions via e-mail and though I have asked them if they will take my x-plan pin, they are not responding to that question. Having been in sales, this is the thing that turns me off more than anything-- the "just get them in the door" tactic. So, I'm going to see if I can work with the other one to let me know when that car comes in. It's a ruby red, but at this point I really don't care. I just want my car before I put another 1000 miles in my Prius and end up forking over more cash to Ford than I care to.

Wondering if there is any change: Dealer number: F72207 Order number: I636

Let me look at when my last update was. I may be able to request another one by now. **ETA** I requested an update, so we'll know something tomorrow. Or we won't.

I sent an e-mail to my dealer to follow up on the cars I asked him about last week. There were big sales this past weekend so I doubt anyone wanted to part with any inventory, but they are still showing up on cars.com today, so that could be a good thing. I'll see what he says. If he absolutely can't get one of those, then I guess I am waiting.

Well if they're holding it up to put the dual exhaust back on it, I'm all for it

Yes, if they are scheduling orders this week it stands to reason we won't see them until next week. And I'm sure all the orders will not be scheduled at once. So even if they are scheduling it doesn't mean any of our cars will be scheduled then. I have not been expecting any further information until next week, actually.

If they only update the records on Fridays, as some have said, then we won't see any scheduled until next week.

Well, I haven't heard back from my dealer other than to let me know that of the two I was looking at, the one with the charcoal interior (my preference) is still in transit. He said he would try for the other one, but I don't know if he'll be able to get it for me. I suppose if that can't happen I'll end up with the Titanium, anyway. Kind of bummed because I thought maybe I'd have a car this weekend, but now I'm back to wondering when.

Very pretty. Jealous of that dual exhaust

I'm not out quite yet; need to confirm that the dealer can get the car I asked for. Hopefully I will know by the end of the day today, or sometime tomorrow.

Okay, my dealer is going to try to get a car for me. I changed my mind (again) and decided I really want this one, which is configured almost exactly the way I wanted it, except it adds the moonroof and the navigation. It is much less money than the Titanium and offers more that I will probably find useful. This one is at another local dealer. He will let me know if he can get it for me sometime today. http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin=3FA6P0LU2DR209336

I gave them my credit card and they authorized a deposit, but it was never taken out of my account. I don't think they are allowed to hold your deposit if you decide you don't want the car.

Agreed. I'm very close to canceling my order due to this. I even downloaded a brochure today and right there on the page that says "hybrid titanium" is a rear shot with the dual exhaust. It's not been a stretch to believe it was part of the trim package. Very disappointed.

I just sent an email to my sales manager asking him about a dealer exchange for this Fusion: http://tinyurl.com/an3n9gv It's not at his dealership, but it's close enough to me for me to want to go check it out. I really don't want to go through another dealer, though.

This is what I was thinking. Post it on some of the pages, that we have been disappointed by this apparent change. I also think it's a service to others who might be wanting to order this car to make sure people know what they will be getting.

I never expected it to be a functioning dual exhaust system, only a cosmetic one. Even in the brochure I downloaded today at Ford.com the page for Hybrid Titanium shows the dual exhaust. Again, I know I was warned that form follows function but I am super disappointed at this and have been looking all day at SEs in my area to see if I can find one that matches what I want. The only thing holding me back, frankly, is how good my dealer has been to me. I really want them to have the sale, but they don't have a car for me.

That's why I didn't bother to look. There's never been any info published about those.
