The Fusion is a nice car, but there isn't a lot of demand for it worldwide. It's a small SUV type vehicle in Europe and isn't sold in China. F Series trucks outsold it something like 4-1 in 2017. There's a high performance Focus on the way and the Mustang will move up to the NASCAR cup series next year to replace the Fusion. I think the Fusion body would make a nice SS/GT conversion car.

I don't know who really makes it, but there is a street Cadillac out at the track running in the 11s.

A 4door is not legal for SS/GT. Not that it applies here but a 2 door has to have been originally available with at least a V6 or it is not legal either. Also not that it applies but SS/GT repl drivetrains need to be a V8 combo only, no V6 or 4 cylinder combo are allowed.

The Fusion is known as the Mondeo other than in North America and they sold about 200,000 units in 2017. That with NA sales makes about 400,000 plus sales for the car.

Thanks. I looked for variants sold/made overseas but missed that.

D. Johns, as a sizeable stock holder, former LM dealer and, current Expy and Mustang owner; YOU HIT THE TARGET. Current management is weak. Bench don't look too good either! I really miss Alan.

When I was in Germany last year I saw some Fusions (maybe Mondeos) that were sport wagons sort of like the Dodge Magnum. I wished they had those over here, really sharp.

Sounds like Management through Bookkeeping instead of having Engineers run the company.

That is what happened to save GM when the Bean Counters were replaced with real car people.
Soon after GM started winning best in class..

Only vehicle that got such a commendation was the Ford Expedition.

Cadillac is going through an identity crisis
Not sure losing Pontiac and Oldsmobile was a good idea.
But GM has done well.

In Europe the Mondeo/Fusion and the Focus are still available as wagons.
