I drove a Fusion hybrid when the S420 got totaled, and while it was pretty soulless, it was good transportation and very economical. Not my thing, but it had merit. -D > On Nov 16, 2018, at 5:17 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > You know Ford makes cars other than a Focus right?
