Given that the viability of DFI, Direct Fuel Injection, is now well proven technically, and clearly results in a rather dramatic rise in FE, I wouldn't buy any new vehicle, hybrid or no, until the engine is adapted to/for DFI.

In LA county, the Camrys are stacking up on the dealer lot. They're not too anxious to receive more inventory, even though the new models have more to offer. One of the local dealers also mentioned that they would not have any 2010 Camry or Prius in their inventory system till Summer.

Why so dead??? by waltchan

I'm surprised this thread is dead for 2 months. It's a new engine with new 6-speed with better fuel economy, so there should be more anticipation here.
 
Took a look at one today, and the only change in the interior I dound is there is now a cover for the holder just below the shifter.

Ford Fusion is kicking Camry's butt. Both Hybrid and non hybrid models are selling better than Camry, and after sitting in one I can see why, such a nicer car.

Not true. Someone can post the link to the actual numbers.

That all changes after you turn on the engine and actually drive it.

Actually, that's where things go south for me as far as the Camry goes. Outside, its not offensive, but not "pretty" either, like most competitors. The driving experience in the SE V6 and LE V6 I have driven in the past year (the SE was an 07, the LE an 08) were yawn-boxes with lots of power.
 
The 2008 Fusion SE I4 I drove was much better to drive, allowing for *gasp* steering feel.
 
If you want comfy and quiet and don't care about actually DRIVING, get the Toyota. It's the better ride, but not the better drive. If you want a car that you'll actually enjoy driving, the Ford is the better of the two (at least pre-2010) by a long shot.

Resale... by waltchan

So, does that mean the Ford Fusion will win higher resale value this year than Toyota Camry? (yeah right)

Ford might be a little better than GM by ctl

The performance numbers look fine, fuel economy is competitive, exterior looks ok (score in the lower pact to me though), but interior is just typical American - ugly and cheap. Worse of all, I know for a fact that if someone spend 20K on a Big 3 car, of the 20K, about 14K would go to the car company itself, then, compared to Toyo/Hon/Nis, 1-2K out of 14K will not be used for the car, it goes to UAW etc., which I am personally not interested in making a donation to.
 
All non-car factors aside, why would anyone choose a Malibu or Fusion is beyond me, maybe the exterior really clicks for you?

The new 2.5 engine by ctl

Buying a car for my wife. Anyone driven the new 2.5 + 6 speed? I test drove the old 2.4 before, compared to V6, it had acceptable power for regular highway/city usage, but the noise under acceleration put me off, don't know if the new R series has improved on that? That V6 is surely a cheap fun but wonder if it is wise (safe) to put it under her feet...
