blazerdude20 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 It's still a different trim level... And I'm pretty sure SES wasn't a sport model, you could buy a Taurus SES before it was killed for the Five Hundred It was a sport model originally. SES = special edition sport SEL = special edition luxury 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 It was a sport model originally. SES = special edition sport SEL = special edition luxury Heh. Could have fooled me. I have a Focus SES, and there is nothing different about it over a SE other than a few electronic goodies that no longer work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Taurus was standard edition sport /luxury and the limited was "limited luxury". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Heh. Could have fooled me. I have a Focus SES, and there is nothing different about it over a SE other than a few electronic goodies that no longer work. If it's a 2008 or 2009, the SES came with colored door handles on the outside, trunk spoiler, special exhaust and black interior. You also had the option of 17" wheels and tires. 2010-2012 had the same as above, but also had smoked headlight and taillights, painted grille and different front and rear bumpers. 17" wheels and tires became standard.

fuzzymoomoo Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hmm... I don't have a black interior. Was that optional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hmm... I don't have a black interior. Was that optional? I thought black was standard on the SES. Looks like I was wrong, but it has been 7 years since I spec'd mine out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Leave it to Ice Capades... http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/24477-2009-focus-order-guide/?fromsearch=1 Here is a thread with the .pdf of the 2009 model year order guide. Light Stone is available on the SES model. Take a look. You can see the differences in the model types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Heh. Standard full size spare and I got the optional inflator kit.... The original owner's choise in order really isn't impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosetang Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think the tail is a tasteful if boring upgrade of the current Fusion's worst feature. But the nose seems like a minor step backwards compared to the current lovely front end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosetang Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I wonder when Ford will show the next design direction for cars in concept form. The "Aston Martin" grill debuted on the Evos concept in 2011. Are we looking at another 3 years of this? I think it still looks sort of fresh but maybe not so much in 3-4 years.Id say they are already evolving away from the Aston look, the grills are all getting shorter and wider. But if they are thinking about a new design language, the time we'd see a concept is the year before an ground-up redesign of Focus or Fusion rolled out.

Fordowner Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 There should be no chrome on the Sport model. None. The grille surround and the spear on the trunk should be black, and the headlights should be smoked. Somebody dropped the ball. Interestingly it appears the 2017 Escape Sport has smoked front and back lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's what the wife likes the most about it. Her current Escape has the Sport appearance package. She loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I will admit, I do find it odd that they stuck with Chrome on the sport trim, rather than going with the blackout look that all the other Sport models get. Not to say it doesn't look good, it does, but it just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the Sport "lineup."

Every sport or ST model since the 2010 focus has had dark chrome pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewfanGRB Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I find the shift dial interesting (in a good way). Definitely opens up the center console and still gives a place for your hand to "land". Just from an aesthetics perspective, I never liked the pushbutton selector in the MKZ. I don't remember, but is that sticking around in the MKZ refresh or the Conti...or will they be using a dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what really upsets me that I bought a '13 and didn't wait for the '17 sport...ambient lighting in the cupholder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang_sallad Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 a mid cycle update on the Fusion and more doors on the Raptor - is that all Ford is unveiling in Detroit?? Seems very modest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
