Your post reflects a typical North American consumer who is influenced by the packaging rather than content, and I'm sorry but some of the "innovations" that Ford is putting out there are just plain silly. I already witnessed a Ford Fusion Hybrid owner being so concentrated on making his Green tree grow on the dash he took a one way street against traffic..... One thing I do like about some Fords is the capless gas tank, makes it feel a bit like a fighter jet refueling process. All in all the new Focus is nice, but I want to see more proof about their reliability and maintenance cost before I buy any product from them. Other than that Ford is a ok in my book as they tried and succeed in saving themselves by themselves .

BTW that door latch on the inside is completely against physics, can you imagine how hard it will be to open the door when the latch is located so close to the hinges? someone forgot their physics 101 in the engineering department
And your post reflects an ignorance of the immense improvement Ford has made in the last 3-4 years under the new CEOs direction.

You have clearly not heard that Ford's such as the Fusion are rated over Camry and Accord in QUALITY as well as driving dynamics. The fusion hybrid also beats the Camry hybrid easily in efficiency.

I know your argument may ask about long term reliability and that is legitimate. Only true time will tell. So far though, Ford's from the last 4 years are on top of their game.

I'm surprised by the negativity so far. There's a thread about in on a Lexus forum that is praising this as the best compact ever and their standards are very tough as Lexus owners.
