Sportier Car For My Wife

[psycho_freke]

well these dumb-estics are catching up with quality wise with imports, I'd bet that my dad's 3800 lb fusion could outrun your Integra, not sure how but that thing has some damn good high end acceleration.

LOL that's another classic "My Dad's car, or "my mom's car". What about your car? Either way, that's alot of talk when you have no idea if he has an LS, GSR, PMITR, ect. or what kind of mods he has. You also didn't mention whether your dad has the 2.5L Duratec I4, 3.0L Duratec Flex Fuel V6, or 3.5L Duratec V6. Here's the spec sheet http://www.ford.com/cars/fusion/specifications/engine/
Since the base has a curb weight of 3285lbs, I'm assuming he has the V6.

I love how people always do the Ford truck comparison. Trucks are the only thing Ford can really make worth a damn. She doesn't want a truck

No, my rule is: If you don't have the balls or ovaries to go test drive something recent then shut up about a car company because you haven't tired the new stuff and don't have a valid information about the company's new products. Are you scared that America could very possibly make a better car than Toyota, Honda, or Nissan?

I would absolutely love to see American cars beat imports in quality, technology, longevity, and value retention. I like the idea of keeping our money here in America where it belongs (oh wait...the Import companies have factories here now too, don't they. Doesn't that kinda make them... American made? BUT Foreign engineered
I don't think the big 3 have quite made it to the standard of the Japanese and European cars yet though. When they do, I may switch. For now, I'm happy with imports.

-edit- Besides, who says we all have to follow YOUR rules
