2016?

[curt shumaker]

Does anyone know when the 2016 will be available? Also, it appears it was completely redesigned to look like a Fusion in the China market. Will it be the same here, or a carryover from 2015?

Thanks!
Curt

From what we've seen, we are just getting a slightly refreshed version of what we already have.

I think it will be 2017 before we get anything really "new"

Oh, and Curt, welcome aboard!

Thanks, everyone. I'm on the fence with it. I will need a vehicle before 2017. If it's not going to change at all, sans Sync, then I may get a 2015 so I don't have to wait. Candidly, the my touch didn't bother me - other than being a bit slow. So, if there are no other material changes, I may just get the 15.

Then again, I'm trying to get to the bottom of the Fusion ST. I read, just a bit, that the SHO could go away and be replaced (in theory) by the Fusion ST. Any thoughts on all of that?

I've never heard even the slightest of rumor of a Fusion ST. I've seen wishful thinking posts, but in general, given the size of the car, they'd never cram the 3.5L EB motor in there with all that's required, so it'd be nothing more than a Mustang EB in a different body if they put anything larger EB wise. Sorta. Anyhow, I don't see Ford looking to invest big money in a new vehicle variant that's going to hurt a variant in another line, especially an iconic one like Mustang. I just don't see it. Sure, there's the Focus ST and the Focus RS coming, but that's a totally different type of car. Now, if for some strange reason they killed the SHO in favor of a Fusion ST, then ...well... then that would suck. <Sigh> lol

They might try to squeeze the ecoboost 2.7 in there that wouldn't be bad , I told my wife the Sho is the only thing im going to buy in what ever variation they come out with keeping my 2015 PP as long as she will run and then have Livernois do a rebuild on the motor and run her a little longer before getting another one I love this car lol
