Ford hired CD to try and get some sort of credibility for the test, which in the end id did not achieve, apart from Ford fans, for whom it was not even needed. It may be valif to you, but not to people looking for honest reviews. Conflict of interest ring a bell?
I would like to see your comments if Honda or Toyota did a similar test, where their product won. Actually, you don't even give any credibility to CD for picking the Accord time and again or MT for picking the Camry, so I guess I know the answer to that.
There you go. So to sell mags, CD or other publications are biased and pick market leaders, but Ford's paid event is unbaised, right? You are just tyring to gain some propaganda derived credibility for the event, by saying calling it a 'real world event.'
Because it is an informercial, ones you see on TV late night, not a comparison test.
Magazines/Media have given good ratings to the Fusion; including 2nd position in many comparos; and I would rate this positive feedback much, much more that the Fusion infomercial
ABS, incidentally, much the same type of tradeoff - you don't improve braking distances by letting off the brakes (electronically or otherwise), but you do improve control and therefore a reasonable sacrifice.
I think your wrong here.. Motor Trend clocked the Aura V6 at 7.2 0-60, I believe the new Altima is in the 6.8 range hanging right with the Camry V6. And I'll ad, .2 seconds faster than the Fusion
The purpose of this discussion is and always has been to compare the features and the attributes of the subject vehicles with an eye towards helping folks make a purchase decision - after all, that's what Edmunds CarSpace is all about.
Too many of you seem to believe that the purpose of the discussion is to stomp all over others just because their opinions, needs and values are different than yours. The chest-beating and sand-in-the-face-kicking is preventing us from having any productive comparison conversations.
We're closing up shop, at least for now.
Check out Midsize Sedans 2.0. Come one, come all, but let's all agree to leave the weapons outside the park.
The motor on my Impala also emits a pleasing sound when under full throttle, at least to my ears. The other sounds it allows to intrude into the cabin however are not so pleasant, but that is another issue altoghter I suppose. So I guess what i am trying to say is what makes an engine "unrefined and thrashy" ???
