Ford is going to be making some changes to the Ford Fusion for the 2008 model year by giving it a Sport Appearance Package. Ford is confident that this will give people the aggressive look that they are looking for in this otherwise simple looking vehicle.
The Sport Appearance package will be available for the SE and SEL models. Exterior enhancements include 18-inch aluminum wheels, body-color fog-lamp surrounds and a unique rear lip spoiler. Fusion’s three-bar over two-bar grille also gets a smoky “black chrome” look.
The 2007 Ford Fusion is an excellent choice among midsize sedans and should not be overlooked. The Fusion was first introduced as an all-new vehicle for 2006 and it’s a wonderful car. It handles well, looks purposeful, it’s comfortable, and it delivers good value. All-wheel drive is a new option for 2007, and we found the new, all-wheel-drive Ford Fusion extremely stable on wet pavement.
It’s tough to imagine that a decade ago Ford sold the best selling car in the U.S. Back in the 1990s, sales of the Ford Taurus eclipsed those of the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Then the market shifted to trucks and SUVs and it seemed like Ford abandoned the car market. Sales of the Ford Explorer skyrocketed. The Taurus slumped and was relegated to the rental car fleets. People who wanted a mid-size sedan bought Japanese cars.
