Ford Fusion named "Most Washable"...
I just found this on Jalopnik:
"It may not be a star performer in the crash-test realm (c’mon, standard curtain airbags are this year’s black), but at least the Ford Fusion has great crevices. The International Car Wash Association (seriously, there is one) has elected the 2006 Fusion as its “Most Washable Car” of 2006, for an exterior design that promotes good washing, including its “moldings, bumpers, mirrors and wipers that are securely attached, its smooth lines, and its lack of dirt-trapping indentations and crevices.” We’re feeling kind of uncomfortable right about now."

Ford can now add the "most washable" tagline to a new commercial. They'll be selling 'em like hotcakes! |

"The Ford Fusion. Not safe on the road so just keep it in the car wash."

Come on man! Join on the Michiganders against Fusion bandwagon!  :  I actually though the Fusion was a decent car until I did see the crash test.

I havent seen the crash test, where they that bad? But it seems most on here think a car is crap unless it wears a German or Japanese badge. Im still trying to be a Ford guy, but after killing SVT im finding harder and harder.

Yeah, they got the sorst crash test rating. BUT, they were crash tested without the optional side airbag so I am sure those would help.
Off Topic, they killed the special vehicle team? I did not know that.
Edit: Nevermind, I found this http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=109512
That sucks.

I didn't see any reference to the Fusion here that stated it was a crap car. IMO, the Fusion is at best unattractive from a styling standpoint.
"Ford hasn't cornered the market on ugly cars, they've just upped the ante with the Fusion."  |
