              Not necessarily.

              I hate crap products, and by and large American cars just are. They're unrefined, largely. I'm not even talking about reliability.

              They're rough engines, the suspensions are either too soft or too hard, the interiors are either ridiculously cheap or pretentiously tech-heavy with have baked **** (like Ford). I can't think of a single American car right now in any reasonable budget that is a good "driver's car".

              Look at the Ford Mustang - still rockin' a live rear axle for a street car in 2012? Really?
              And the Dodge Charger - a 5.7 ****ing litre engine and it drives like a retarded dog. All reviews I've read mention the lag they feel -- it's unresponsive. And a fuel hog.

                Ford Fusion.

                Seriously, I've driven sedans like Audi A4s on travel in Europe and they feel like they ride very rough compared to Fusion and Fusion-platform sedans.

                  I'm thinking it's just the opposite. If I was walking down the street and some fine looking car passes by, I'd be thinking how I'd much rather be in that sweet ride than walking.

                      The new Fusion is very nice, much better than I thought Ford could do, but doesn't the grill look a bit to Aston Martin to you?

                        Oh jesus christ, is this just a troll?

                        The Fusion is definitely one of the better American cars, but it's still ass.

                        It's interesting that in all of the reviews, it mentions "European like ride and handling" which is not a complement to "North American engineering".

                          I won't hold you. I'd buy a car because it looks good.

                            The reviews also mention "European styling".

                            Basically, Ford aped non-North American engineering and design and Lonestar holds it up as a testament to North American engineering.

                              Car jackers, like you, are an anomaly.
