My point stands, surely? How long have we had hybrids on the road?

This, regardless of what has been said for Ford. I used to drive a Ford that was hardly dependable. My best friend drives a Focus that she calls "the Fuckus."
Until Ford, Chevy, and GM convince me that they are capable of making quality, safe cars with little environmental impact, I will continue to buy Japanese, thank you very much.

You know what I find amusing about Hybrids: They cause more damage than what they save in fuel. And they are a complete waste. A turbo diesel car can get far better gas mileage than any hybrid can dream of. My V6 Fusion managed 30mpg on the highway, which is plenty. My 3.0 V6 Chrysler gets about 27mpg, which is also plenty.Almajoya wrote:Tubbsalot wrote:Let's be honest here - Fords are terrible, terrible vehicles.

And at least fords don't run the risk of the accelerator getting stuck if you install the floormat incorrectly.
It's not the 90s here, American quality is very good, my father ( among other cars he has ), has managed to put 113,000 miles on a 300C SRT 8, not a single problem.
Hell, my 95 Lebaron Convertible never has had an issue, until I put the wrong fluid in it and destroyed the transmission ( whoops )

2009 Ford Fusion hybrid. Look it up. Reliable, and better mpg than the Toyota Camry hybrid.

I don't really like the idea of a Camry hybrid for some reason...? I'll admit that the Fusion looks good, but I'm not ready to put my safety in the hands of Ford yet. Ford scarred my childhood. >.>

I'm not just concerned about accidents. I'm concerned about being left on the side of a road, which happened often with my Taurus, or my transmission dying, or my sealants wearing away, which also occurred.
