Funny, this is Consumer Reports list of the top ten best selling vehicles in the U.S. NOT ONE GM car made the list!!... just a truck. Camry STILL is by far the top seller in the personal car category and darn near DOUBLES the sales of your Fusion!(so much for "top selling Fusion") I guess #10 is "top selling" to domestic lovers. Three Hondas and another Toyota are up there as well.

Yes the F150 is at the top, but we all know trucks are skewed with fleet sales and business use sales like contracting and construction. So the Fusion may rate 2 levels higher, but it sells 8 levels below the Camry... you know WHERE IT COUNTS!!

And you STILL are riding on one car here and there to say the domestics are so much better than the imports. AGAIN, the TOP FIVE brands for across the board quality are ASIAN. PERIOD!!! Yes Toyota ranks higher even with all the recalls... imagine that! These are facts, not desperate inaccuracies. I drive a Ford so I wish the domestics fared better. Facts are facts. Quoting J.D. Powers awards and Consumer Reports for a car here or there makes your argument look better, but doesn't really dispute the facts... the whole facts.

The car of the year is the Fusion Hybrid, which is a great feat of technology for sure. Ford could be the best if they really tried hard to produce a whole line as consistently dedicated to quality as the Fusion is. Of course they'd have to build more Mexican plants in order to do this now wouldn't they? Oh that's, right they are!
