akirby Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Found the exact car I wanted in stock at a local dealer but not the one I usually deal with. Called my salesman and asked him if he could do a dealer trade. That was noon on Thursday. 6 pm Friday night the paperwork was done and I drove it home. It has every option except Active Park Assist. I haven't been this excited about a vehicle since my 99 Lincoln LS and this has way more toys! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RRF985 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Beautiful car! I really considered red before I bought my blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcastic6 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I love that color. I'm still second-guessing my own color choice, the red was really the first that caught my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Congrats! Love the wheels. Were they an upgrade? Yep. 19" H spoke wheels are optional on the regular Titanium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmadole Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nice car, I had a Ruby Red Hybrid ordered .... but I couldn't wait 16 weeks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbtauber Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Great looking car. I love my red titanium. Stayed with the 18" rims though....thought it looked more luxurious. The 19"s though are a great sporty look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSKershaw Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nice colour! I'm still happy I ordered the Ruby Red colour. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluggedin Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 All I can say is, WOW! I have an Energi ordered with an ETA of middle March, same color. Wish it had the dual chrome tip tail pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboTi Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 akirby: I wasn't sure you had it in you! Good job. I would have probably got the driver assist package and the adaptive cruise knowing what I know now. There's always next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missileman88 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Congratulations. Glad you were able to find the trim and color you wanted and did not have to resort to the waiting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Congratulations. Glad you were able to find the trim and color you wanted and did not have to resort to the waiting game. Me too.

silvrsvt Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nice! Thats more or less what I would be getting if I was going to order a Fusion, I think I'm leaning towards the SHO...for a couple years till the Fusion ST comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystiq Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Before I ordered a Fusion, I had a black Nissan Altima Hybrid. I ordered a ruby red Fusion Hybrid and of course I'm going to laugh when my insurance turns around and says, "Wait, you have a red car? Up go your payments!" "Are you serious? It's a hybrid." Two weeks later my dad ordered a deep impact blue Mustang. It may be a Mustang, but red is still better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camride Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Congrats! Every picture I see with the 19" wheels makes me hate my 18" stock Titanium wheels more and more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx8402 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Congrats! Every picture I see with the 19" wheels makes me hate my 18" stock Titanium wheels more and more.... That's why I ordered the 18" appearance wheels from from Ford. At least those look much better, though not the same as the 19" H-Spoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Congrats! Every picture I see with the 19" wheels makes me hate my 18" stock Titanium wheels more and more.... That was a big factor in me deciding to forego the Titanium Hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKII Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Nice car akirby!! Question are these 19" rims available or were they just on the show car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Nice car akirby!!Question are these 19" rims available or were they just on the show car? They're available. 19" Y spokes. They may be late availability though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RRF985 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) They are available. The dealer close to me has a car in stock with those wheels. Edited January 30, 2013 by RRF985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camride Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I don't like the Y spokes as much as the H spokes, but either looks 100x better than the 20 spokes that come with the Titanium. I'm still scratching my head on why they picked such a bland design as the base wheel for the Titanium. I really need to find new wheels, I'm just having a hard time finding what I want (and I'm not 100% sure of what I want either!). I want to stick with 18" wheels (so I don't have to incur the cost of new tires) but I'd like some kind of nice concave 5 spokes, or even maybe 18" replicas of the H spoke wheels....
