Supposedly, Ford has made a huge step forward in quality and reliability
with the new Fusion and Mercury Milan. The same is claimed for GM's new
Malibu. The impediment (says the media) to buyers flocking to Ford and GM
showrooms to buy these automobiles is the distrust of things domestic built
up over years of disappointment. While, the Fusion and others may be
competitive when new, the question I have is what the car will like after 10
years of ownership -- still comparable to an Accord of similar age and
mileage.

I guess I don't see the Fusion in the same light as I see my Accord,
frankly. But, I may be wrong. Any imput out there.
