Post by josholiver1 »

Whent to my local airport to pick up my father from a long bissness trip, i saw a Fusion Orange vibe with the 05' frount end at Avis. Last time i checked they were only avalible in 04'. At first i thought it was Lava and discarded it, but then i saw a comercial for Avis and there was an orange 05 on there...i think im going crazy!

I was going to get an 05 fusion at my dealer but all theirs were automatic and they are very hard to come by. I wanted fusion so bad and yes they had it in 05 but like I said. Very hard to come by around my area.

There were a few '05's built in Fusion, as they were firm sold orders, but Fusion was only produced in very low numbers for the 1st 60 or so days of the model year cycle.

I know this post is kind of old, but I just wanted to comment on it since I just saw it. I have an 05 Vibe AWD in Fusion. What a pain in the (removed) to get it too. It started out on one lot, was traded to another 1.5 hours away, and then brought back down for me. I told the dealer when I went in that I wanted an AWD 05 Vibe in Fusion. They had a base in Fusion and AWD in about 4 other colors. In the end, I got almost what I wanted. I wanted the extra airbag pack but it wasnt available within 500 miles.....Overall, I love my 05 Fusion AWD Vibe
