Ford Fusion - gender neutral car?

There is nothing wrong with a guy buying a small car - just don't buy a VW Beetle.

People will just think that you are poor and unsuccessful.

Get a nice car.

I also like the new focus.

I was unaware we had girl cars and boys cars. If I go into a garage lare at night will I find the cars hooking up?

No, the OP is referring to the tendency of men and women to select different models of cars. The owners of the car give the car the gender identity, not the car itself.

Oh please. Times change people. Henry Ford is long gone, his grandkids/great grandkids don't share those feelings. And the recent crop of Fords are great designs that are very reliable. I guess we could also add not taking the bailouts as another reason to look to support Ford.

Think for yourself once in a while.

I think youre mixing up the focus and the fusion- the focus is the smaller car.

Go out and get a base. Then, you won't think about how your car makes you look! No such thing as a gender car. Sorry. There are care that tend to insinuate some sort of deficiency in the mammary gland or sex organ area but that is not new to gender-concerned folks.

Time to quit using cars. Very few people can afford them but still buy em to get to work so they can afford to keep their car runnin'.

Get a bike and cut your running back a few miles and save money and run a few pr's.

Gender talk is bs!

I believe that now, by law, there are no longer genders just a class called 'wooable voters'. Or that's the way it looks from my seat near my finish line.

you rock, nondriver! I bet none of the candidates have been able to woo you, yet! I am still hopin'for George Carlin to return from the dead and run for prez!

Tell me more about the seat at your finish line! I am intrigued by your statement.

Ford make rust heaps from cheap American steel. Ford sucks. Don't buy a Ford. Get any car other than Ford.

Insecure much?

It isn't a gender issue. It is an age issue. If you are over 55, it is the perfect car for you.

I have driven many Fusions related to my employment in the automotive fleet industry. I wouldn't worry about gender issues with one of these. Worst thing that can happen is that you might be mistaken for a pharmaceutical rep since this is their car of choice right now.

The brakes in these are quite good, they handle well and for a midsize there is a lot of room in the back. Definitely better than a Chevy Malibu and right on par with a Subaru Legacy (2 other very common fleet cars)

The 4cylinder is a little buzzy sounding when you accelerate quickly but all 4s tend to do that. The AWD seems to work pretty well too.

The only things I don't like are that I think the cloth on the cloth seats feels cheap and plasticy (but every car in the industry feels that way) and I personally don't like the blind spot mirrors (I am aware that 99% of the population will find them useful)

I'm trying to get Christopher Walken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-X96cw68Cwto run again.Simple premise: at some point life becomes about waiting.There comes a time you stop looking for windmills to tilt. Oh be sure there will be new adventures, a moment of love, another sunset will dazzle but you no longer seek them out. You accept them with a warm embrace. Once you were out there, lactic acid dripping from you thighs. Now the dripping is from BPH not heartbeats per minute. You've become the fan, you don't lead the pack, you don't chase the leaders any more, you sit and wait for the race to come to you. You speak more of was than will... it just kind of happens...There comes that moment you realize... let someone else worry about all that shit that once was important to you- hell you wonder why it ever did. You alway knew life was finite, now you know why... now it's time to sit down put the feet up and watch the last act unfold. it's time see how all those thing that started in 'was' years turn out.and you know what it may take a while lot's of stuff started in those was years. My seat is in the shade covered from all but the worst of mother natures power and I brought a pillow perchance I nap during the racewalk or the political debates I'm ready to see how it all ends, I fancy you know when to take that seat when you no longer want it to be a BANG you understand the draw of the wimper.finditagain

^This guy must have a large penis. Listen to him. Don't buy a reasonable vehicle. Buy a luxury vehicle that will depreciate in value more than any other vehicle and function just the same but cost more to repair. You will have neat gadgets and you will imagine teenagers gawking at you when in fact they're only staring at your combover. This guy knows what he's talking about. Trust me.

You only see Toyota trucks being driven by rebel armies and on African safaris. Wonder why ?

You are the one who is insecure. I bet you were stewing for hours after reading his comment.

People do judge you by the car that you drive. I would not be caught dead in anything but a high-end SUV. I get plenty of 23 year old tail.
