I have a buddy with a Prius. He really likes it. If you aren't familiar with them, they are a hybrid so you don't have to plug them in. I'm more of a diesel guy myself, but I answered like I did because of what you currently own. I do wholeheartedly agree with Oak about Lexus cars. If I was in the market for a gasoline sedan, it would be my #1 choice.

I hate Fords. Sorry man, I will be no help on that one. Ford falls dead last on any list I make. Hated working on them, and hated the ones I owned.

I spent 40+ years collecting paychecks from Ford.
Never owned one or wanted too.
Also did my best not to wrench on them.
I speak fluent Gm but that is just me, glad ppl buy them, it pays my retirement checks.

I think the fusion is a great car. I have owned close to 50 cars in the last 30 or so years 42 of them were Fords or Lincolns. I never really had a bad one. Currently I have an F250, MKS ecoboost, 3 Mustangs. I also have a Kia soul (great car) Dodge dakota and a Jeep liberty which is a Turd. The only Gm I would own is a Vette. I have had 4. I think 40 fords over the years is enough of a sample to say they are good quality cars. A pre owned certified MKZ hybrid would be a luxury version of the fusion. If I was going to get foreign It would be Kia Optima

The best 2017 car is...The one I never choose

Next time I buy a truck it's gone be a SUV:
Buick Envision, GMC Acadia or Cadillac XT5 (All American GM made )

I bough a brand new Hyundai Accent SE (Canadian edition) Loader up to the gas cap this summer for my girlfriend (20K with all TX) + $1500 for winter mag and Nokian tires. She love it.

Next car for her:
Chevy Volt, Subaru AWD or....another Hyundai (Elantra GT Hatchback)

I only like the Lincoln division of Ford product.

I don't want to turn this into a debate over who makes the best cars.... or what sucks and what not. But, to be fair, if you've owned 50 cars, 42 of which were Fords, in the course of 30 years.... I think it's fair to say that there is no way you put many miles on any of them, or owned them long enough to actually have trouble with them. I'm more apt to take advice from someone who drove or owned 5 cars in 30 years... cause, hey, at least we know they lasted for miles and miles and years and years.

As I always say here we go again. You love to assume you know way more than you ever do. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. You have absolutely no idea how long I kept any of my vehicles or how many miles they were driven. Your responses are as predictable as the sun coming up tomorrow morning. I have owned 5 Expeditions 4 of which had over 200,000 miles on them when I sold them. Others had well over 100,000. I did not say one car was better than another. I just shared my experience with Fords because I probably have more experience with fords than most. I did not even count my business vehicles all over 12 years old all over 100,000 miles and all fords. So as usual your assumptions especially when it comes to me are wrong.

And now we will debate hydraulic oil:
I say diesel fuel mixed with peanut butter and jelly,
it smells like a tractor, tastes like last years lunch left in the combine, and cures constipation.

I made no assumptions. I just did a little math. I'm saying I'd rather take advice on what to buy from someone who bought a vehicle with x miles on it, drove it for 15 years and put XXXXXX miles on it, then replaced it because they were tired of it.

I can play this game too... Your "assuming" all kinds of things. I've owned Fords. For all you know, I've owned 43 of them in 20 years. Your "assumptions" are all wrong also.

I'm not interested in debating who has the best car, I've worked on them all.... They all break.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
