If anyone is looking for a new car, look at the Ford Fusion Hybrid. MSRP = $29,700; 47/47 rated MPG. I can vouch for the great MPG. If you learn how to drive a hybrid, you can get phenominal mileage. That said, even without the great mileage, the Fusion is an awesome car. You probably won't find a 2013 on a lot. I ordered one - it took 7 weeks for deliver, and was worth the wait.
Exactly. I have friends who have the Fusion and swear by it.
And Ford did not take all of the bailout money.
I have to have a 4 wheel drive pickup, so the high milage is not an issue I seek to address.
I will say, that when the government bought into GM like they did, I imemdiately sold my newer 2004 Chevy 4x4 crew cab pickup and went out and got a 2007 Ford 4x4 crew cab and never looked back.
It’s resale was not as good as the Chevy at the time (though that is improving) but I usually keep them long enough where that is not an issue anyway. And, the newer model Fords, Chevys, Dodges, etc. all do about as well as the others in the performance areas if you buy what you need.
