Post by: TVC15 on December 23, 2008, 09:15:31 PM: But the Prius gets better mileage than that, right? Toyota gets to suck it because Ford is just about in their ballpark?

Post by: AdmiralViscen on December 23, 2008, 11:10:27 PM: Since the 2004 redo EPA ratings have been a lot more accurate.

The Ford midsizers have no quality issues, they won initial quality awards from JD Power

Post by: AdmiralViscen on December 24, 2008, 07:36:49 PM: We'll see, the current Fusion has done decently.

Currently the Ford Escape is the small crossover with the best fuel economy - 28mpg. Here's Chevy's response, 30mpg.

Fuck, screw laws against cellphone usage while driving, that busy interior will probably distract the driver way more.

LA Times gets 52mpg in the Fusion Hybrid in real life testing. $25k out the door with your hybrid tax credit.

Also took number 1 in Car and Driver's hybrid comparison test by a wide margin.

We're going to be buying a new car (for me!!) in January or February. I can't get my wife to even consider looking at an American car.

Why does your wife hate America?

That's a good question.

I currently drive a 1992 Ford Escort, I wouldn't mind getting another American car, but we'll more than likely get a Toyota or Honda.

The only American she's even given any consideration is the Malibu.

Final EPA rating for the 4cyl: 32/22. 29/20 for AWD. That's better than some compact cars on the market.
