We all enjoy a little comic relief now and then, but give us a BREAK!! "shoddy assembly"?? Sorry, but it was TOYOTA that just recalled 100,000 cars due too bad brakes (AGAIN), not Ford. Also, the news just carried an item about Toyota (not Ford) being sued by HUNDREDS of owners in roll-over cases (not a couple of dozen, as the case with the Explorer). Toyota tried to destroy evidence and hush this up, according to a former lawyer for Toyota. Hardly the mark of an honest company.

And if the Fusion is so far BENEATH Honda and Toyota, please explain why every automotive source of repute (Toyota ad brochures don't count) rate it ABOVE both Honda and Toyota in reliability. It's OK to be loyal to your first car, I think we all understand youngsters having that sort of loyalty, but just throwing out unfounded statements doesn't help credibility. True, it gives us all a good laugh and probably helps sell a few more Fords, but no one takes such ranting seriously. As people mature and have experience with several different brands of cars, they have a better basis for making objective statements. I whole heartedly agree with comment 15:40.
