Fusion Defeats Camry in Test Drive Battle

May 4, 2006 · Posted in Uncategorized 
Ford Fusion

In what seems like a lifetime ago, I was the About.com Cars Guide. For that site I created a unique feature called Road Test Digest, in which I rated, and linked to, the latest reviews. Quite frequently I would critique Detroit News reviews by husband-and-wife team Anita and Paul Lienert, because their "he said/she said" format offered a more balanced opinion than those from journalists who worship at the altar of performance. I'm glad to see the duo are still at it and particularly enjoyed their recent faceoff between the 2006 Ford Fusion and the 2007 Toyota Camry. To Anita and Paul's surprise (and mine) the Fusion came out ahead in interior design, handling, powertrain, and fit & finish. How delightful to see America finally produce a family sedan that not only equals but beats a former champion.

    They compared a top-of-the-line V6 Fusion with an entry-level 4-cyl. Camry. Seems like they wanted the Fusion to win.
