I feel we aren't giving enough credit to the Big Three for their overall progress the past couple years. At the same time, we're dismissing import quality concerns and recalls. Take the Scion tC..........that has so many issues and recalls that I wouldn't buy one, even if its later model year. Once I rode my friend's tC, and he said that the side airbags weren't working. Imagine how I felt.

Ford Fusion is an excellent vehicle in its price range. Interior design needs improvement, but driving dynamics are decent.
