Is it me or has Ford...

[850CSi]

... been selling an absolutely ridiculous amount of Fusions? (The Fusion is a personal favorite of mine)

I noticed it on my way home today from work... They seem to be all over the place. How well have they been selling?

[Eye of the Tiger]

I never see any around here, but I do see an insane amount of Subaru Legacy wagons

[CJ]

Hardly see any of them here.  I do, however, see LOADS of brand new David McDavid Honda Accords.

[Raghavan]

Haven't seen any here.

[JYODER240]

I haven't really payed attention.

[TBR]

Are you a Houstonian or do they have franchises elsewhere as well? (We looked at a Frontier at David McDavid Nissan in Houston)

[CJ]

I'm a Planoian.  We've got David McDavid dealerships left and right.  Hell, we're leasing our Accord from David McDavid Honda of Frisco.

I've noticed it. There are a lot of new Camries too.

[SaltyDog]

I've noticed some, but not a ton.  My boss has a pearlescent white Fusion.

[the Teuton]

Pitt's security guards have rental white Fusions.  Next to the Aura, they both are very nice cars. 

[SVT_Power]

alot of fleet sales for the fusion perhaps? I personally don't see too many of them

[ifcar]

I see a fair number, but not Camry/Accord level.

I mentioned this to my wife just the other day.  Seems to be a lot of them in the Houston area.

[IrishGuy]

I'm in the northeast and I hardly see any.

They've been selling at a rate of about 15k units a month, with around 15% going to fleets. There is only one plant making Fusions and they are on a third shift to keep up with the demand. Smaller sales than Accord and Camry, to be sure, but maxing out the plant makes it a success.

[SVT666]

I notice a lot of them and they aren't fleet cars for the most part.  I actually see a lot of Lincoln Zephyrs too.

[93JC]

I see a few here and there, about as often as I see new Camrys. I've never seen a fleet one, though.

[omicron]

I've never seen one. I did see 235738475432 Commodore SS-Vs today, though.

[thewizard16]

They're relatively popular here, more so than the Aura or G6 maybe, but they're aren't "tons" of them.

I see more G6's than either the Aura or Fusion, but I do see quite a few Fusions.

Its a nice car IMHO. I think the G6 is the nicest looking of the bunch, but the Fusion is a close second, and the Aura a not-to-distant third.

[TheIntrepid]

We rented a 2006 SEL V6 in the summer, when we needed an extra car for our trip through the Rockies.

[93JC]

Like I said, never seen a fleet one. I don't doubt that they exist, I've just never seen one. Impalas and Camrys on the other hand...

[TheIntrepid]

yeah. I think in Alberta, rental and corporate fleet cars have the different format license plate; one letter followed by 5 numbers. I think our Allure's is G-34734. If you keep your eye out for that, the Hertz and Avis cars, which don't have stickers like the Budget and National ones, will become more obvious to you.

[93JC]

Guy, I've lived in Alberta my entire life: I know how to spot a fleet car licence plate...

[TheIntrepid]

I was there a week and I figured it out. It's no big achievement.

I think we know about the different plate format.   Did you know they also have black stickers in the corner of the plate for fleet cars?  I could count the fleet Fusions I have seen on one hand.  I see 3 or 4 times more Fusions then Auras, and I think the G6 looks fairly plain and there is nothing about them that gets me excited.  I personally think the Zephyr (MKZ or whatever the fuck it is now) looks better in person then the Fusion does.

[TheIntrepid]

I also like the Zephyr better. I saw a Milan on the road with Michigan plates yesterday. Looked awkward IMO.

[FoMoJo]

I've noticed quite a few in my region.  I think one reason is that the 'bold' grille makes them easy to spot.  What's surprising however, is l've seen quite a few Edges as well as it's Lincoln cousin the MKX.

A guy I go to lunch with a lot (who owns an Altima, and isn't what I'd consider a "car guy") has commented to me a couple of times that he really likes the new Edge (usually while walking past one in the parking lot). I tend to agree with him, its pretty sharp ( ) looking.

I got a ride in one and I like it.  I don't know why the magazines don't, but I do.
