Today we have a heavily modified 2017 Ford Fusion Sport -- complete with racing stripes -- for your perusal.


The list of mods is long and worth almost $19K. This isn't your typical family sedan.

There is a long list of Steeda parts, for example.

You can see the whole list of mods here. The asking price for this Texas-based car is $16,500.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Could I get a mod to turn it into a better car than a Fusion?

    The sort of seller who blows up an engine at 60k miles and promptly installs bad mods on the new engine is not the sort of seller I want to buy from.

    Edited to add: CarMax has five AWD 3.0T MKZs currently available, the higher-mileage of which are around this price, and all of which would be a substantially better choice.

      If it’s an ecoboost, it is in the same realm of crap as every other ecoboost, lol


  • Jeff It was the right decision to leave this as a concept.
  • Sayahh Was the Celica Toyota's pony car?
  • Rizzle The price is the same for a manual or automatic. If you want a manual you might want to get a 2025 or 2026 (or older) because who knows if VW will offer the manual in 27. It could be deleted just like they did for the GTI and R. It is too bad you can't get a GLI in S form without the sunroof and with a cloth interior. Same basic car but many $1000s less. Yeah, the red stripes are a bit silly, but someone at VW thinks they are cool. In the good old days they would have put on racing stripes and fake louvers and called it the GLI-X.
  • ToolGuy™ I have always resented how GM did not consult me on styling choices.
