looks like ford is trying to have a come back in 2010....most fuel efficient midsize car that's some big time stuff right there.

[tamainemiller]

go ford!!!!!!!!!!

[mehiael]

@DevPack Yea but the hybrid systems come out of Japan... so its not really american.

Just tell greedy american CEOs to out sourcing manufacturing plants outside of the US so americans can get jobs.

Although I am not part of the engineering and designing team who were involved in the production of the Ford Fusion Hybrid, I recommend this vehicle to those who are in the Market for a good Hybrid Drive System. The quality of the drive train of the Hybrid Fusion is among the best. It is a competitor to the likes of the Toyota Prius.

yep..you got me there with there greed. but i think times are changing..i think they seen they fuked up .and are cleaning up there act..one big thing i really hate about jap car makers is...like i said before..were was there support for this wounderfull country of our's when 9/11 happened?..and in 2001 yota made there biggest profet ever..along with honda.they simply turned there backs on us ..but the big 3 gave and gave ...and not all imports are made here

[CommandShiftZ]

Hey, nice discussing this w/you. But I don't think 'profits' from a USA based Co. help the American worker or economy directly...mostly their greedy CEO's and company operations. But if a Jap Co. is helping laid off Americans make their house payments again, while USA auto makers are mostly employing Mexicans & Canadians, isn't that Jap Co. helping our economy MORE by employing actual Americans? It's wrong, but is why I keep posting, so people don't buy USAcars thinking that totally benefits USA

[390merc65]

yes..imports do have alot of US workers

but for ford!!..they have for years had that plant in cananda long before this trouble we are having here ...and they probably put that other plant in mexico for cheaper labor just to try to stay competitive and sty alive today ..i dont like it, but i'm sure they had to do something to stay afloat ..i wood bet if things got alot better they wood re-open the closed plants here , but still.japs profit goes to japan and not here and thats not good

[CommandShiftZ]

I agree w/you there...if interested in a Hybrid but 'looks' are more important than most MPGs/cabin space/price, then go w/the Fusion. It really is a nice-looking sedan, the styling is very attractive. And is the Hybrid fusion also AWD? If so, that is really a plus too. As much as I like the Prius, I have some dislikes...not being able to turn off stability/traction control systems & lack of seat adjustments. You'd think w/all that tech, they'd at least have a lumbar lever. Maybe 2010 improved?

[CommandShiftZ]

Good point, true about the profit...but what I'm talking about, and what is more important to us and our economy, is the American worker. Most American car parts and their assembly are employing more Canadian's and Mexican's these days than Americans. Meanwhile, Honda, Toyota, Kia and more actually have plants in America and the majority of parts/assembly are being done by Americans...which is completely messed up and I don't think it's right. It's just they way it is right now.

[390merc65]

thats bullshit...first of all ..yota is jap...even if they glue some of them together here using american workers ..its still a jap car...and the profit of that jap car goes home to japan...ford can have a plant in japan...but when that car is sold..the profit comes home here

ford world headquater's.[ 1 AMERICAN RD DEARBORN MI..48126-2798]....

TOYOTA....[DOWN TOWN JAPAN]...C/O MR.suckymoto..i am sure he likes all the american dollars we send him

[390merc65]

what the hell can be an [ALL AMERICAN IMPORT].....its either an import [OR] american ....thats like saying[same difference]

[mynameisblankspace]

If the Prius and Insight looked better I would consider buying one but they are horrid. Remind me of the escape pods from Star Trek. Ford Fusion Hybrid FTW!!!
