Sdevji Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 This looks amazing. I'm coming from a 2006 acura tl a-spec and I'm very glad to hear you are enjoying your transition to the fusion. I opted for sterling grey titanium hybrid with the sunroof option. Can't wait to get mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opted for sterling grey titanium hybrid with the sunroof option. Can't wait to get mine! Its wonderful. I don't regret trading the TL a bit. It was a great car, but the Fusion is an improvement in almost every aspect. Drives more smoothly, handles better, is more quiet, etc., and all the new technology is great.

toduncom Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 That is a beautiful car, I still haven't seen one this color in person. I am still trying to decide between the medium gray and the dark side. I have already decided on the 19" H stainless steel spoke wheels. I am leaning toward the medium gray now that the brick red seats are available, but I may have to order to get what I want. I also haven't seen a dark side in person, so my opinion could still change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjh Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Thank you! For what it's worth, I was sold on gray until I saw dark side. For all intents and purposes, consider it black. But man its stunning when it's under the light. Brick red interior is cool, but is quite bold. I'd encourage you to keep your eyes open for a dark side Fusion to get on a dealers lot near you. I think the color is also offered on the Taurus, MKZ, and Explorer, so you might be able to find one of those models in the color also.

Triple-Tap Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 That is a beautiful car, I still haven't seen one this color in person. I am still trying to decide between the medium gray and the dark side. I have already decided on the 19" H stainless steel spoke wheels. I am leaning toward the medium gray now that the brick red seats are available, but I may have to order to get what I want. I also haven't seen a dark side in person, so my opinion could still change. In my opinion, dark side probably the most gorgeous color of the Fusions. I'm still baffled that Ford didn't charge a premium for the paint! I went with the sterling gray over the dark side because of three reasons: 1. Scratches are much more visible on darker colors 2. Dirt is much more noticeable on black/dark side. 3. If you get some kind of chip or some major scratches on your car, I'd assume it'd be quite difficult to blend that new paint to the old paint. It's a blend of black with blue and green tint. If you're leasing the car though... now that's a different story! Dark side hands down!

cjh Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 I too am surprised it's not a premium option like Ruby Red or the White Platinum. But I'm not complaining. It'll still likely be somewhat rare as people as a whole tend to be weary of non-traditional colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx8402 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Ruby red and white platinum are more expensive because they are special paints. Ruby red has a tinted clear coat and white platinum is a tri-coat paint. Dark side, while a premium looking color is just a single coat plus regular clear, which is why it doesn't have a premium cost to it.

Fordfan82 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I have a darkside metallic Fusion and yeah you can see the scratches a lot more than lighter colors but man I agree the car color is stunning!! Almost like the Atlantis green 2010 my wife had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
