I hope you're right, but several times before I've heard this D3 is much better now, bought their products and been burned down the road. Its interesting how the new Mazda based Fusion looks good, while the Volvo based Taurus/500 has been mediocre. Shows there is no correlation between vehicle price and quality/reliability. The Opel based new GM offerings are a bit tight, but show promise. I think Hyundai needs a bit more work on suspension.   As for differentiating, I was waiting for a rental car awhile back at PHX and the Hertz person told me they actually got a few Accord's. Despite everyone dissing them as fugly, she said they never sit around long before someone rents them. Actually, you don't seem to get Fusions or Malibu's much as rentals any more. The rental hangar queens seem to be Hyundai/Kia and Nissan these days. Replies to this message: lilengineerboy (Sep 12, 2009 10:45 am)

As a bonus, it has a USB iPod connection, something Honda still can't seem to get right (although at least they have a connection now, my '07 doesn't and no decent provision to add one).
