For Dover shoppers seeking a powerful and sophisticated performance sedan, there is a new player in town -- and it's not German. Ford has its sights set on customers who would typically drive an Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz model with the new 2017 Ford Fusion Sport.
"It's not just Fusion buyers who want something hotter," said Wade Jackson, Ford Fusion marketing manager. "Owners of other midsize sedans, along with our own dealers, ask repeatedly. So buyers get a 2.7-liter EcoBoost that makes 325 horsepower and a more impressive 380 pound-feet of torque."
All-wheel drive is a standard feature, so expect road-gripping performance in any weather. Perhaps the most appealing factor for those on the fence is an ostensibly trivial detail -- the cup holders.
We know what you're thinking -- who cares? But let's be honest, if you have experience with German-designed vehicles, you're used to small irritations like ordering a large soda from the drive-thru, and having to drive with it between your legs because it doesn't fit in the cup holder.
The Fusion Sport is just as powerful, more affordable, and it was designed to accommodate the very American habit of eating in the car.
