Where you find such a creature ?  :dunno

Hey, it's just not me saying the Ford Product is better than Toy-motor and honda

The Ford Fusion way outscored honda Accord and tied the Camry.

Looks like Ford tied in this category too!  ;D

Consumer reports wont let me see their report unless I subscribe  :angry:

And for safety http://www.safercar.gov/portal/site/safercar/menuitem.94b0130be143aeb342252f0835a67789/?vgnextoid=68adf2905bf54110VgnVCM1000002fd17898RCRD

or http://www.iihs.org/ratings/default.aspx Why I dont see the mighty Camry or minivan anywhere on the list! (condesending tone)  ??? Arnt they supposed to be so much safer? Guess not!

More Ford, Lincoln & Mercury products than any other manufacturer!

I see the quality every day. My fellow co-wokers 'get-it' now that their jobs may be gone. Yes, they should have 'gotten-it' years ago, but the outlook wasnt so bleek then. The Blue Oval is making American History. You can be part of the same history story by buying a New Ford! Dont buy from an Asian company when your dollars are needed here at home! When 1 Detroit auto worker losses a job, 12 more in the supply chain loose their jobs too! I put my money where my mouth is!  :cheers:

*** Not to sound like a hippocrit, but if I lived in Europe, I'd shill for Fiat, Vuxhall or Opel too! Support the home team so they can support YOU! ***

I sell money that doesnt exist to people who never pay it back.



Edit: Fordman be aware stereotypes exist for a reason. Old people cant ---smurfing--- drive is a true stereotype for a reason. The stereotypes of inbreeding being prominent in Arkansas but not New York exist for a reason as well. I think stopping there proves my point enough, I am sure the rest of you can think of more.

Perhaps you guys have your ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- together now, perhaps that means the next generation may buy from you I suppose but not this guy.

It sucks to see China buy our debt & other countries buy our breweries & factories but that's how it goes. Globalization will have casualties but in the end it will all work out for the better. Then we will colonize other planets & talk about not using their nanocarbon until we have a galactic economy LOL.

It's ok, neither do I, really...  I just make it up as I go along...   ;D

Mostly, I'm a computer geek.  I model turbofan engines based on their thermo qualities, and then simulate their operation across the flight envelope, and look for potential problems.

now i have a better picture. So for instance, one of the things you will be determining is the airflow through the engine at various attitudes from say -2 degrees all the way up to stall, or when yawing etc.

--- End quote ---

Yes.  Similarly, determining the distortion created by angled crosswinds, etc. 

--- End quote ---

Ah yes, all these things create 'shadow' for the airflow, thus causing variations in cooling, and efficiency (i imagine one engine getting slightly less oxygen than the other in a yaw or crosswind situation) Cool. Finally, a fancy job description i can actually figure out!

^^ You've got it.

ChadTower:
How long has the Fusion been on the market now?  I'll start to believe it's as good as the Accord or the Civic when you see 12 year old Fusions with 240,000 miles on them still on the road - driven by people who still want them.

You know how I know this ratings site is full of crap?  They rated the PT Cruiser best mechanical quality in its class.  I test drove one of those recently and it was a piece of cheaply built crap.  Even my wife, who knows jack about cars, was surprised by how lousy that thing was.
