Does anyonne know when the fusion replacement is coming out.

Don't know for sure but heard it will be this year, so would have thought it would be sometime near September to coincide with the new regs.

Would have thought there would be more out there about it though if it was going to be then.

This car was spoke about when we were talking about the New Fiesta ST. Everytime our reginal manager comes we ask him when is the Fusion replacement coming. Last time he said its been put back AGAIN. Could be put back from 1 year to 2 years. He said the car is 90% Complete. The problem is the rear breaks. The Fiesta and B-Max will share everything and the problem is the rear drum brakes on the Fiesta (Which are Mazda Drum rear brakes) Are at the maximum capasity with the Fiesta and the are not working on the B-Max so this had slowed the process down because debates are now happening. There is a split. Some designers want to design a larger rear drum and it will cost less and get the car out into the Showrooms fast. How ever some are trying to push rear discs. Even though this will be more expensive it will help towards the ST rear disc's. Last he said was we will prob have to wait till after new focus is out. Once that hits roads all over the world they can then pass the Rear disc's from that down to B-Max and then Fiesta. Rather than design new ones for B-MAx and Fiesta. They will wait until the Parts for the Focus cost less then pass them down
