The only foreign cars I would consider are Subarus. The XV Crosstrek caught my eye.

Saw a new fusion at the dealership the other day. Looks much fancier than your average mid size sedan. Looks great would own one in a heart beat.

Ford's have a "pretty" factor.

Saw one in person the other day in visitor parking at work, didn't like the front end nearly as much, I mean it looks good but not as defined as I was anticipating irl, the rear end looks a lot better IMO

There's still a lot of the older ones on the road, and that says it all.
My friend just bought the 2012 White Ford Explorer

I love the look of the new Fusion. Oddly enough, they gave the Taurus a similar look, and for some reason, what works great on the mid-size Fusion does not transfer well onto the larger Taurus. Haven't had a chance to drive on yet. My dad recently bought the 2012 Fusion. It's a decent car for what it is (not a sports car, but it runs and drives good, and is a good choice for the segment its in).

I've noticed an interesting transition in Ford over the last 5-10 years. They used to make excellent SUVs and lousy cars. Today, they are making much better cars, but most of their SUV's are terrible.

My four favorite car companies are Chevrolet, Nissan, Dodge, and Ford.

So yes. I like Ford.

I respect Joe decision he's a hardcore metal/camaro fan

Yeah i noticed about the Taurus. Ford is doing their thing and i respect that. It's all about varieties right?

I love Ford, I was raised around them. I also love Chevrolet. They are both great American car companies and I will drive one or the other until I kick the bucket!

The outside of the Altima is a huge leap up. But the interior is the same as the last. Which SUCKED.

Ford??? who or what is that?


Ya as long as it's an American vehicle I am ok with it. The Fusion doesn't really peak my interest but I am more of a Truck/Mucle Car guy anyhow.
