Cheap, roomy, and conservative in design, the perfect formula for rental fleets. The car does nothing for me, but like BB says, it's not an enthusiast oriented vehicle. Basic transportation....are there better cars out there that do the A-B thing better? You bet....but it's a middle of the road car that willl sell here and there. Not a best seller, but a car to fight for the leftovers after people decide a Camry and Accord or a Mazda 6, or a Hyundai Sonata, or a Nissan Altima etc isn't for them. It's not as nice as the Fusion in my eyes, and to me....and the midsize market is so competitive.
