I’ve got a 2006 Fusion that I absolutely love and has performed just as well as any one of those ‘lofty’ imports have. I also have a ‘98 Explorer that sits out in the hottest of summers and the coldest of winters and has been an extremely reliable vehicle for me for the last 13 years, so I think the Ford bashing is a bit childish.
I do enjoy pulling people's strings. Actually owned a Ford product - back in the day. Sexiest thing I've ever seen on four wheels.
