Sundedo Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Welp, I have a NEW order in for the correct engine. They're going to modify one of the one's they have in the queue and bump the priority. She's saying about a month. So... I'll turn my lease in on the 13th and they'll give me a loaner to use till the Fusion comes in. It was hard to pass up the 2.5 SEL that they had, since it was already here. But I figure if I'm paying for it, I'm going to get what I want...

fusionhybrid85 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: Well finally got the good news. Went to the dealership today, my order is to be built the week of April 20th. Tenative delivery would be 2nd or 3rd week of May. I'm hoping 3rd week of May since thats the week of my birthday Would be a hell of a 24th birthday present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I should have mine the last week of April or first week of May. I was originally told my build date was the week of the 20th, but it's actually next week :P. The dealer had mixed up my build date with another customer who'd ordered the exact same config after I did. So hopefully I'll be driving my new Fusion Hybrid in four to five weeks.

Rick1723 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Congrats to all you 2010 Fusion owners... I haven't heard squat about anything on my Fusion Hybrid... I have noticed a few non hybrid owners getting their cars... What about the Hybrid owners any of these out there with their's ?? I am in a dilema... I own a 2007 Milan AWD, and up here in MN this year we have had both cold and alot of snow ( more than usual) but then probably closer to an old fashion winter... My AWD paid for itself and then some this year.. it is a great system.. and of course the hybrid doesn't come with it.. so, I wait and see and either get more excited, or get buyer's remorse.. went to the auto show.. they said the hybrid will be out in a couple of months.. that was a week ago... Ford could be doing so much to really gain ground, it just seems like they are not taking advantage... my 2 cents worth... I am such a loyal ford guy, I bleed blue.. and hear about it at work... but proud of it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonlu Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 The salesperson at the dealership with whom I placed a Fusion Hybrid order called me today and said that the car is in. As it turns out with my schedule and his, it appears that the best day for me to pick it up is next Tuesday, so that's what I will do. Hoping that it wows me as much as it did when I looked at its features before ordering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered my hybrid at Elk River Ford and it has the popular April 20th build week. It will be the first hybrid unit they receive and that will be the middle of may. They had a 2010 4cyl loaded Milan there last weekend. Parked in the back and not advertised if you want to go look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hey aggoodin, We're supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow here tonight, I'm kind of glad I don't have my new Fusion, you know the other drivers out there. My salesman e-mailed me yesterday and wrote they have an SE on display. I'm going to go drool over it later today. My guess is when ours arrive here in the Great Northland dealers will start receiving stock. I just hope I get to show it off before everyone has one. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNole2001 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Just talked to my salesman. Build week of 4/20. He thinks I'll have my car 2-3 weeks after that. Waaay earlier than I thought it'd be, which makes me a happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I went to the dealer and looked at the SE and Sport they had on the floor. FREAKIN SWEET!! I had a chance to sit in one a few weeks ago but couldn't give it a thorough look see. I checked these out top to bottom and all I can saw is FREAKIN SWEET!! The problem is, now I'm all jacked up to get mine. The dealer still didn't have any brochures but they gave me a Product Information Handbook, hopefully reading that will keep me happy for a couple of weeks, after that I can't be held responsible for my actions. I can't believe Ford hasn't got brochures to the dealers yet. As I was talking to a salesman, several folks can to look at the Fusion. They need to have the literature on hand to satisfy anyone leaning toward foreign, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you are about 50 miles north of me.. I hear yah on the non existance of materials... I saw a sport 2010 and sitting side by side to the 09 you can see the difference.. I think I need to drive one to experience the difference between my 07.. and the new ones.. right now my AWD needs a coupling that went out right before 36000, so there is whining while driving, which shows up, because these fusions,milans are quiet cars!!

transitman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Rick1723, I hope that repair is covered under warranty. When I was shopping dealers and couldn't drive the 2010 I looked at a few weeks ago, I drove a 2009 to get a feel. I was impressed with the way it drove and knew the 2010 would only be better. Besides the major design changes I notice the little things too. Like how the front side amber reflectors are lowered, the new lower fascia, the wheel well flares and the new tail lights all make the car look better.

Hi transitman. :D Concerning the brochures: Maybe the salesman was telling you the truth, maybe not. The brochures are out there, as I picked up a 2010 Fusion Brochure when I went to the Dealer on Thursday. They had them hidden in the Sales Managers office. Seemed to be giving them out sparingly. Sometimes Sales personnel hoard those things as though they had to pay for them out of their own pockets. Strange but true. Good luck. :beerchug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackbar Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 You can request the brochure be mailed to you from fordvehicles.com. There's also an e-brochure for download, but I wasn't able to select it on the web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick1723 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I did get at the autoshow, the Milan was mixed in with the 09 stuff in the brochure.. oh and thank god the AWD problem got caught and covered under warranty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. :beerchug: I've seen the Product Information Book-A Sales Consultant Guide to the 2010 Fusion they gave me on E-Bay for a starting bid of $9.99. I believe them because she was in the sales office for about 5 minutes going through a box and came out with a packing slip. She said she ordered 2010 Fusion brochures but didn't receive any. The dealership is going to send me one when they arrive. I also sent in a request from the web site. Until my Fusion arrives I just need something to take care of the itch, man. :tease: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully another 3-4 weeks for getting down the line and over the rails. Never bought a car without driving it before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transitman Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Transitman- who did you order though? Freeway Ford. They matched a quote I got from a dealer in North Branch which was the best price at the time. I'm going to take advantage of the $1000.00 cash back to sweeten the deal a little more.

joe308 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) I signed the paperwork for my 2010 Fusion Hybrid on 3/14 and Ford confirmed my Hybrid order status via email to the dealer on 3/20 so it's been almost 3 weeks. About how long should it be before my dealer gets some information on when my car will be built? They just got a Hybrid in but I'm sure that was ordered quite a while ago. Thanks.

fusionhybrid85 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You know looking at it all now, I only have one tiny complaint, and its only because I'm a tech nerd, I wish they would have put the USB port in a more easily accessible place. And I wish it had 2, instead of just one. But alas, I'm not complaining that I will be driving arguably the best hybrid car built yet!

Well mine went in on Feb 28th (VOC) was confirmed about a week later (DORA) and I got word on March 28th that I had been given my VIN and build date (Apr 20th) updated DORA. So about a month from order to build date confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My order went in on 3/2, confirmed on 3/4, received a VIN on 3/20, confirmed build date on 4/1 with an estimated delivery date the week of 5/4.
