2015 Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost
Americans love their trucks, SUVs and crossovers with combined sales of all light duty trucks accounting for 52% of sales in 2014. Despite that seeming preference for high-riding vehicles, nearly eight million new cars hit the road last year and among those midsize sedans continue to the biggest share of sales. For more than a quarter of a century, the top-selling car in America has been either the Ford Taurus, Honda Accord and of course the Toyota Camry which has led the way since 1997. Ford launched the second-generation Fusion Into that fray in late 2012 in the hopes of grabbing a larger piece of this lucrative pie. Now approaching the mid-way point of its lifecycle I recently spent a week with Fusion to see if it’s still a strong contender in the segment.
Anybody that knows me, is well aware of my fondness for station wagons 3
I'm a car guy and I personally have no use for SUVs or crossovers, but there are many times when extra cargo space is welcome. A station wagon offers the size and driving dynamics of its sedan siblings while typically offering more useful volume than a similarly sized SUV. Unfortunately most Americans don't seem to grasp the appeal of wagons which means we'll probably never see a Ford Fusion wagon here.
Then again, when the Fiesta was in the planning stages, America was originally only going to get the sedan and the last generation Focus was only available with a trunk. Both of those are now sold as hatchbacks with nearly half of all takers opting for the larger rear opening. Let's hope Ford product planners take that to heart. I'll take a Fusion wagon with the 1.6-liter Ecoboost and a 6-speed stick please!
