Fusion is beating all of toyota on customer sat and quality.

Have you seen the 2013? IMO it is worth the wait!

If I was buying a new one, I would wait for the 2013 too. It is SEXY.

Have you looked into the new Focus? It is now the vastly superior version that has been sold in Europe for several years now.

For fuel savings, have you looked into an F-150 with the turbocharged EcoBoost? Then you don't have to give up the truck capabilities.

I hear nothing but good comments about the ecoboost engines.

As far as getting a truck. I still owe a bit on mine and going with another truck will put my payments higher than I'm paying now. I could do it but the point of trading down is to save money.

Besides she gave me the ok to shop for a nice Chevrolet C10 next year as a toy plus to get a truck back. So I'm not too bumed out about letting my baby go.

I thought about a focus but its just too small for my tastes. I could wait another year to have my truck paid off but doing it this way saves me bout $300 a month now. Money is tight these days.

My girlfriend has an '07 with close to 100k and it has been perfectly reliable. All we have done is changed the oil and put on a new set of tires. She wants the 2013 when it comes out as well.
