I decided to spend some time looking at some cars even though the wife and I have cars that are both four years old and that we owe a grand total of about $1500 on, and I really liked the Ford Fusion. I just bought a Ford Fusion Hybrid. It’s a fantastic vehicle, and a lot of fun to drive. Nowadays, Ford’s really doing some stuff _right_, folks. ---

I’m quite excited about the Euro-Focus that’s coming over here. Yeah, I’ve always said the problem with the manufacturers is this: A: Chrysler’s factories suck B: GM’s management sucks C: Ford is run by a Ford. C’s fixed. B might be on its way to being fixed. (This is probably why there wasn’t any _real_ problem with the government taking over GM. Trust me, they can’t do a worse job.) A… A killed Mercedes. A might not be repairable. But maybe it will once they close a few. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chrysler-gm-can-ford-be-far-behind/498645.md?page=1)
