papilgee4evaeva Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have no problem with this. I wonder if the 1.6EB recall hurt the Fusion, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Wow. That's a pretty comprehensive and responsible piece of journalism over at Jalopnik. A bit prolix, perhaps, but geez it makes the rest of their stuff look bad. Never mind. It's a reprinted piece.

-Strike- Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Interesting. I figured the Fusion would atleast beat out the Accord. I knew those two would have been close, but I didn't think the Fusion would hit third place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The ATS is great in person. I can't believe how dumpy it is in pictures, but this car is very nice after seeing it in the metal. I take back all the bad things I said about it from looking at the pictures of it. I hope the sales do pick up for this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
