I drove hondas all my life Im 37 years old and I love them . I drove a Ford fusion at a test track in georgia and the CAR LITERALLY BLEW ME AWAY . The way it handles outclasses every honda,camry,acord Ive ever driven . Both the camry and accord are very mushy in corners and have a marsmellowy feel . While the Fusion is very tight ,precise ,smooth and handles extremly well. The cabin was quiet and I didnt hear alot of engine noise. But for me I like to hear the engine a little . The fusion IMO not only blows away the camry and accord. The camry & accord shouldt even be in the same category as the fusion , its an insult to the fusion. Ford did there homework on the fusion and they got it right. And this is coming from a longtime Honda enthusiast. Im jumpin ship as I think most honda engines have too little torque and there suspension have become too mushy. I think honda has rested on there laurels of name brand recognition. Id be proud to own a fusion. Or even a Dodge srt-4 . Over any Honda-Toyota nowadays. The days of the crappy pintos and pacers are over. American brand cars have caught up and surpassed many foreign makers. The sales numbers dont show that yet..becasue the rest of the world hasnt figured that out just yet. Because like me they were brand loyal.
