Last year I rented a low-end Ford (the model name was forgettable) for a weekend trip, and it was so cheap and tacky that I was embarrassed to think it had been made in the USA and marketed as an acceptable product.

Probably a Focus, which inexplicably replaced the solid and nifty Mazda-built Escort.

I rented a Ford Fusion recently for a trip over to SC and nearly caused several accidents, due to its having a blind spot that would hide an 18-wheeler.

I read just yesterday that Ford is coming out with a special side mirror that overcomes the blind spot effect. In typical fashion, they were crowing about the fact that no other car maker had such a mirror.

LOL, I've not been in another make or model that NEEDED such a mirror.
