Replying to: ANT14 (Jan 16, 2007 8:06 pm) As for gauges – I personally do not like how it is done in Camry/Lexus – too garish and bright for my taste and I do not want gauges to be too big and glare during day. I like more understated design of Lincoln/Mercury/Ford. I do not know is upcoming ice-blue gauges in Fords are good or bad. I certainly do not like it in Acura. Green color is okay, may be red for performance brand like Mazda/Pontiac. Green gauges in Skoda Octavia are beautiful, but red in Golf may be too irritating. And as Ant correctly pointed out VW interior may look nice but after couple of years look pretty worn out and there is a smell also. I like Ford interiors for their sturdiness and common sence. |

Replying to: frizz2112 (Jan 19, 2007 1:32 pm) Oh man did u hit it here. The 500/ Montego are so boring one could fall asleep looking at them. Such a shame because like you say they have the potential to be great sellers now that they FINALLY have the engines and drivetrain they needed all along. And the "redesign" is geez its practically a joke. They took the grilles from their little cars that are selling better and put them on the big cars that are DOA and now people are going to buy the big ones too? I for one doubt it very much. If they sell 3 more 500s this year it'll be becasue of the 3.5 L, not the 3 bar grille. |

Replying to: frizz2112 (Jan 19, 2007 1:32 pm) Dont know what you're talking about here though. Reliability after one year does not mean much. The things are under warrantee for 3 or 4 years. THAT's when reliability begins to matter. You cant say anything about Fusion/500 reliability compared to Japanese for another 3 years at least, IMHO.

Replying to: heyjewel (Jan 25, 2007 8:42 pm) BTW, check out the annual auto iss of Consumer Reports. The Camry 4 cylinder was WORESE THAN AVERAGE for reliability while the FUSION WAS ABOVE AVERAGE! Why is it so hard to believe that Ford could build a quality car? Its almost like you people are HOPING it will prove to be unreliable. Mark.

Replying to: mschmal (Jan 26, 2007 11:57 am) Yes, Fusion is quality, but this company still needs incentives to move them in big numbers. There's a long history of missteps that cannot be blamed on disgruntled people like me. And when I see the Saturn Aura and 2008 Malibu and 2008 CTS, I wonder why Ford thinks the Fusion is so bold. It's a darn nice car, but in a field where there are a lot of darn nice cars. What is needed are some bold moves.
