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 ?

Replying to: 2zmax (Oct 31, 2005 10:51 am) Who is wearing the pants in the family? Does she work? 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. | |

Replying to: 2zmax (Oct 31, 2005 10:51 am) you get the mix of both world.. a SUV /Wagon space and car based handling... or check out the Mazda5... it's a van with Mazda6 heart. Igor |

Replying to: john_324 (Nov 01, 2005 7:07 am) LOL!! So well put, john! My wife says exactly the same thing, but after 30 years with me, she has resigned herself to the fact that I'm a hopeless car guy. She understands it not one bit more though....

mine thinks it is odd too, but at least she knows where I am at night. Plus, it is cheaper than actually buying one.

Replying to: stickguy (Nov 01, 2005 9:02 pm) He He - yes, my wife calls it "Carnography".....and you're right, it does beat buying a new one, although I do that often enough.... |
