Not anymore: Sport - Touring - Grand Touring - Grand Touring Reserve - Signature Edit: ninja. I’ll point out that that’s the new for 2019, 2018 had the first 3, plus some different ones in the Canadian market. ---

My comment was based on my own new Mazda research from last year. ---

I was a committed Subaru driver and then I went out and bought a Buick. [Behold](https://images.app.goo.gl/cq4cChDeWF1Yrgpz5). I got a Regal TourX that lists for $37,000 for under $30,000, because GM. 250 horses and 295 torques in a Saab 2l turbo, AWD, 6 year warranty, leather, and a distinctly German lack of cupholders (it’s really an Opel.) It drives like a Car. If you like your Fusion because it’s a Car, then you should get it. As an additional bonus, you’ll be the only person in town driving one. Old dudes will walk up to you at the gas station and ask you how you like it. Outback and CRV drivers will admire your lack of body roll as you blast past them on the inside of high speed turns. XC60 drivers will admire the amount of Junk you can fit up that Trunk but still feel slightly superior due to the fact that their payment is 2x more than yours. You can wave at the VW Alltrack driver though. Like you in your TourX, he’s the only guy in town who drives one. ---
