Lori- your comment made me smile- you sell it better than we do! Seriously though, I’m digging on the car in a way that’s just a little bit strange. Perhaps I’ll marry Roxy instead…

@Rob: To be clear, we didn’t ask Jaime & Chris to say anything about the vehicle. This is their trip, their rules. All we did was ask that they take care of the car and let us know if there were any difficulties. Everything they’re saying is completely of their own doing.

@Matt: while the Fusion may be assembled in Mexico, the majority of the parts are made & designed right here in the U.S. Part of the challenge is the necessity to spread our manufacturing across a number of plants, as well as to place the appropriate vehicles near strategic distribution centers.

I actually considered getting one of these myself about a year ago. As an aside, I forgive you for sounding a bit like a corporate shill – there is really no good way to write an article of this type without sounding like a Ford marketing representative. (nothing wrong with that – I grew up a Ford guy).

The Fusion’s made in Hermosillo, MX. Remind me, which state is MX?

(I know, I know, most of the suppliers are American, as are the engineers and designers, as is the company.)

I still prefer the Focus, which is made at the “Michigan Assembly Plant.” Can’t get more American (or functional) than that.

In related news — Chris, I don’t care where you are on Sunday, you’re dragging Jaime to a bar to watch the Confederations Cup Final. The US in an international soccer final. Unbelievable.

I was at Kezar for the game against Spain today, and the place was exploding with cheers and non-ironic “U-S-A” chanting. Fantastic.

If I were looking for a new car, I’d definitely consider the Ford Fusion–partly because it sounds reliable and well-equipped, and partly because I dig this creative marketing effort. I’m glad you two could make a deal with Ford to decrease your road trip costs while introducing a solid product to people who might not know about it. =)
