[Making the 2013 Fusion Energi and HyTi into real Titaniums]

They are still advertising the HyTi on the Fusion iPad app with dual exhaust and the tricked out pedals.

[Making the 2013 Fusion Energi and HyTi into real Titaniums]

It seems pretty clear that Ford didn't intend to produce the HyTi when they first opened up the MY'13 order books. Whether they contemplated it back during prior prior auto show dog and pony presentations etc is unclear ... from my understanding, all that is presented at auto shows isn't always a lock or a promise of future production.

 

I think, also, the late decision to add the Ti trim added to the confusion of the marketing people - hence claims of dual exhaust, lit cup holders and tricked out pedals that the production folks can't or won't honor.

 

Sure Ford has the right to whittle away as much as they want and folks reserve the right to buy or walk away as they wish ... but at the end of the day Ford won't do themselves any favors from over promising and under delivering. Leaves a slightly sour taste that folks tend to recall. Much better to under promise and over deliver.

 

By the by - let me just say ahead of time I use the word "promise" quite loosely should any wish later to engage in any semantic petulance.

Never noticed anything like that on my test rides nor heard of similar experiences on the forums.

You guys can add me to the table. I've been on here for months but just decided to join in on the fun. Check the signature block

Welcome.

 

You paid already?

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

That is great news!

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

I'm giving up for today. I'll ask Cyberdman on Tuesday morning. Time for a beer.

 

Thought this pretty funny and fairly typical of my nonCyberdman Ford interactions. Trina and Eric have been a giant bust in my opinion.

I didn't realize they worked on Saturday down there.

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

My build week/day is (supposedly) 3/18. I didn't get my sticker until today.

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

My sticker showed!!

 

Not sure if my previously quoted 3/18 build date will stick or get delayed a few days .... but good news nonetheless

Donlen fleet site reports:

 

2013 Ford Fusion /

Fusion Hybrid

10-12 week lead time

 

1.6L Engine may increase lead time by 4 weeks or more

Array 204B may increase lead time by 2-4 weeks

Fusion Hybrid orders may increase lead time by 4 weeks or more

Ginger Ale paint has been discontinued and is no longer available to order

Power Seats (205B, 400A) may increase lead time by 2-4 week

18" Wheels (98Y) with Summer Tires (T7L) will have late availability starting 4/29/13

Looks like 8-10 is optimistic for a HyTi.

[Fusion Hybrid Titanium General Discussion]

Nothing predicts future performance like past performance.

 

I would be surprised to see Ford adhere to the quoted '14 production dates for the Fusion.

[Get your rebates and cash offers locked in!]

My dealer also said he locked in the $1250 off.

 

I don't think he would tell me that were it not the case.

There are still drive in theaters?

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

The POS is the Energi and POS the Hybrid.

Build week 3/18

Vin assigned 3/1

Vin: 3FA6P0RU2DR277773

 

For your spreadsheet

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

I don't know if they build sequentially or not. Seems like they would build in batches based on paint color.

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

Trina had nothing either ...

 

Unfortunately there is still no change. I have not heard of any new news about the Fusion Hybrid Titanium being scheduled for production. Id love to check it out if you could send any of your friends my way.

 

Thank you,

~Trina

Thanks for the link, neod - will check there next.

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

Try Ford chat and see if they can find a VIN.

Thanks - worth a go.

 

Do you have their link handy?

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

No vin ... but visited my dealer today and he says my car has been scheduled for the week of 3/18. Hoping Cyberdman will confirm or add specifics upon his return.

 

Today was my day in the sand - happy I get to stay with my first choice :-)

['13 Fusion hybrid Ti]

Hope you had a great break ...

 

Order #: W995

Dealer #: F24521

White Metallic

VIN: 3FA6P0RU2DR277773

Any info is appreciated.

 

Thanks again for your help.

[Shipping ETA - TBD]

The HyTi has the pillar issue, but the trunk seems perfectly aligned.

Where did you see one? Pillar issue is disappointing ...

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

Good thing - this was my arbitrary deadline week.

[Remote Start Question - 2013 Fusion SE 1.6L]

Beuller?

[Progress on Orders for Fusion Energi and Hybrid Titanium]

Scheduled 3 weeks after order - built 3 weeks after scheduled. Yea - looks like a Ford insider.

 

Jealous ... but every job has its perks - this is one of his/hers. Hope they ship it soon too.

[Dual integrated exhaust on Fusion Hybrid Titanium]

You have it correct as best I know and not avail on the SE.

 

I haven't been able to figure if the aftermarket ambient lighting accessory set does or does not include cup holder illumination.
