I'll take a car built in the Hermosillo plant over just about anywhere outside of Japan.

In that case, maybe you need to consider something bigger than a Fusion or a 6.

I'm not going to get all technical on you, but my vote is with the Mazda 6

! If I was going to buy a new car, I would seriously look at them. My dh had a Mazda Protege for a "commuter car" (his work is 25 miles from home), and it lasted forever! He got over 200,000 out of it with no problems to speak of

I'd go with the Maza 6 based on looks and more modern platform.

I like the Fusion more, and I think it has a better fit and finish. The Mazda didn't end up as handsome as I expected it to be, and to me the interior materials seem cheap and less dense than the Fusion's.

The hybrid Fusion. It's pretty much a no brainer.

May be a bit late but the 09 Fusions have 3500 in rebates and I found one here with leather, sync, and the sport package for under 18K !

You hate the earth?

Go with the Ford Fusion, great car and you will have a larger dealer network.
