RE: Choosing besween American car and Japanese car
 
Never bought a new vehicle. But i buy what i can afford and what i like. Ive driven BMW's Mercedes, and Ranger. I loved my BMW, and if it was built in West Germany than so be it. Im only 17, so im not as up to date in the economy, but I can't afford as much as most people, and i am going to buy the best deal i find.

Ha, Camry is not better. Toyota does not build cars that last longer then the warrenty. If you want an Asian car, why not get a decent Honda Accord? Well built, economical, safe, good looking, and they are not Toyota's. But between Fusion and Camry? No competition, the Fusion is far better. Being a Ford, if you so wished, it could be the last car you ever own. They never die.

As for the poll question. My Dad and me go by one rule. If its not a Ford, we aren't getting it. Plain and simple.

I drive a 2001 Ford F3504x4,Crew Cab, Long Bed, with a 7.3 Diesel. I bought it because I need something to haul hay and pull a horse trailer. I think that what you plan to do with a vehicle will strongly influence your choice on which vehicle to buy. My last vehicle was a 1994 Toyota Extra-Cab 4x4 Pick-up with a 3.0 liter. All I did with that is put my gear inside and go out in the boonies. It was a great truck and I would buy another one if it fit my needs (although I wouldprefer a 1985 or older). These trucks kick butt. For what I need now, I couldn't have made a better choice than aFord F350. If all I wanted to do is to drive to and from workin city traffic I would probably have bought something really small and fuel efficient like aHonda Hybrid. Itreally boils down to what is really import and practical for a buyer's specific purpose. In military terms, it needs to be able to meet thebuyer's "task and purpose".
