Well I suppose it will be a good car. It is basically the Aura. The G6, yet another variant, is just let's say a different looking car, but pretty much the same. Then there is the original of this class, the Malibu Maxx. Let us all pray the Consumer Reports data looks better for Malibu going forward. That is one thing which kinda concerned me a bit about the Aura -- not so stellar data on past Saturns and the Malibu in Consumer Reports data from owners. No not going buy test drives.
 
Anyway, the Malibu will be a nice, sorta new car, yet it seems like it is but one of four.

I didn't think Consumer Reports had tested a Legacy GT since they started offering stability control. I believe their initial test is still the one in their ratings and doesn't reflect a model with the stability control option. I think the biggest remaining knock they'd have against it is the gas mileage but I don't think they have tested one with the SI drive feature either yet so they might even find it more acceptable. I could be wrong but I am a CR subscriber and just don't recall an updated test - I keep thinking they will include in a new test - maybe they will with the 08 redesign which is due out mid year I think.

Ford Fusion Challenge by starryknight
Feb 17, 2007 (12:07 pm)
I have not test driven the Accord or new Camry to compare to the Fusion but I have test driven the Fusion, Sonata and new Altima and I'm not sure I would choose the Fusion over the Sonata or Altima. I saw the video that showed testimony to the Fusion but what I don't know is how many of the 600 people actually chose the Fusion over the other cars tested. Ford only stated that the Fusion was the winner. That could simply mean getting 34% of the vote. Also, I don't remember any of the people on the video being asked "If you were going to buy one of these cars today, which one would it be"? I don't remember hearing anyone make a statement that they were actually going out that day and buy the Fusion (but I could be wrong). I think there are too many other considerations to make before one could say that. It's not only initial price and performance but also depreciation, reliability and customer service after the sale, both from the dealer and from the manufacturer. Don't get me wrong. I like Ford products, moreso that GM. I had a bad manufacturer customer service problem 9 years ago from GM and would never buy another new GM (or GM owned) car again. On the Fusion Challenge, I would really like to have that question asked and also to see the complete vote by all 600 people.
