Replying to: chuck1959 (Oct 30, 2005 5:19 pm) Took my wife to the dealer to look at the new Fusion - they had the silver SEL with leather, stability and comfort package (or whatever it's called). It looked awesome, and what did she say? : "It's hideous!" My heart dropped! Are you kidding me?, this comes from a woman that says that the Cadillac CTS is gorgeous! And Fusion is NOT? I am so pissed off! I was hoping to impress her with its’ driving capabilities, but she refused to even sit in it! Damn It! When does the AWD, 3.5 V6 come out, does anyone know? I am so frustrated  Just venting

| well, my wifes only comment 9when I showed her a picture, before even seeing it in person) was "but it's a Ford". And she is pretty oblivious to anything car related, but I guess is swayed by advertising! | |

| People will shell out $45,000 + for an F-150 Lariet or Expedition, but Ford has totally lost its car credibility. Mustang was round one, lets hope Fusion continues to make a point that Ford is back | |
| for me, but it's always nice to know what to expect when I get it home! | |

Replying to: chuck1959 (Oct 31, 2005 8:09 am)  and I cannot veto anything as my wife has more veto power than I do (you know what I mean ) I think that Fusion is much better looking than the CTS, especially with that 22k+ sticker on the window, vs. the 36k on the Caddy. I think that my wife is not very car savvy, as she does not understand that name has nothing to do with quality anymore. She still perceives ford to be a poor quality and reliability car. But she likes the new Mustang - go Figure. But the real problem is - we have a new born, and she needs all kinds of room for her stuff, so my wife said that we are keeping the Pathfinder, and not getting a car. I hate SUV's, because they are so bulky, and handle like crap. I was day-dreaming and picturing myself driving in a new, silver Fusion  I guess, I'll have to devise a good strategy on how to convince my wife to get a Fusion. Any pointers anyone ?

It just makes me cringe to no end, when I hear a man say "my wife won't let me...."The way to convince your wife? Tell her you going to buy it and that's it. Let her keep the Pathfinder. NO I don't know what you mean why you say your wife has more veto power. Isn't a marriage supposed to be 50-50. Mine is and she is happy about that. I drive the car I want and she drives the one she wants to. Even though she drives a Mercedes and I a Kia. Which we BOTH pay for TOGETHER along with everything else. |

Replying to: nvbanker (Oct 31, 2005 7:41 pm) No angry female refutations of the current topic as of yet... I've told my girlfriend about the forums, but she can't for the life of her understand why I would want to spend time talking with people I don't know about cars I don't own...

| west coast is last when it comes to new-model intros from the domestics. My local dealer STILL doesn't have a Fusion. I am very curious to see it in person. | |
