Great reviews by car magazines too. Sounds like they really got this car right.

that's great but the Gov't shouldn't be backing anyone. of course that would be in a parallel universe where gov't didn't try to fix problems that it created.

Now that is one of the great cars that keeps FORD on my radar. Most new FORD cars are becoming more European, thus the total quality and ride quality are getting better every time. FORD > chevy and mopar in my experience.

I suppose if driving an overpriced marshmellow is your thing. I got the Camry as a loaner several times and It's easily the worst car I have ever driven. I mean if you want to blend in more power to you but the car has boring written all over it. The Ford brings much more style/unique qualities to the list and the Hybrid just takes it to a higher level. Also doesn't the Camry have numerous fit and finish and transmission problems?

I drove a Camry rental - Horrible car in my opinion.

It actually felt unsafe to drive... it didn't handle and would not get out of it's own way.

I've driven economy cars that were both more interesting to drive and made driving more of a confident experience.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
I drove a Camry rental and it is a boring car that does not feel as tight or handle as well as my 98 Camry. Toyota needs to update that car.

I also rented a Malibu and that was a nice car with much better looks. I think Ford & GM are building a number of good cars but Chrysler has almost nothing to offer. CR recent car issue did not recommend any of Chrysler's cars.
