   At 5:19, you made a MISTAKE. The gas engine does NOT turn on when you put the car into gear, it ONLY takes effect WHEN you start going above 47 mph, because the car travel’s at 47 MPG in electric mode *However, that may vary depending if you are going up a hill, the battery is starting to die out, so the gas engine kicks in so the battery can be charged, or so on with it…*

   @rayj778 the prius has a very cheap looking and less informative dashboard display than the fusion it looks like it was taken out of an alarm clock also ive never been a fan of the display being in between the passenger and the driver

    DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. plans to fix 17,600 Mercury Milan and Ford Fusion gas-electric hybrids because of a software problem that can give drivers the impression that the brakes have failed.

    Yes. It really is. Face it. Ford is a global company based in the US. It’s not owned in anyway by the US.

    The GDP goes to the country making the final product. The execs get money from worldwide sales. Basic macroeconomics.

    Incorrect. Toshiba is a PUBLIC company owned by the public. On the other hand, GM is a PRIVATE company owned mainly by the US Government. Please learn about corporations. Having the global headquarters in a country does not mean that country owns the corporation.

    TOSHIBA is a Japanese owned manufacturer, but often with american components/software.
    Toyotas are ugly and unexciting. To say Ford is part Toyota is nuts.
    I’d buy honda over toyota

    It’s not a Japanese computer. It’s a TOSHIBA computer.

    Its a ford car. designed by ford.
    It’s like saying a Toshiba laptop with Microsoft and NVIDIA isn’t a Japanese computer.

    Thanks adamsad1, I’m glad I’m not the only one doing the math. At $3.15 over 200,000 mile lifetime I’m showing about $7500 savings on fuel or roughly a break even. Looks like Prius wins when it comes to penny pinching. All of these cars will protect your wallet against gasoline over $5 a gallon.

    Ford has more plants in the us than toyota does so don’t make it seem that toyota is employing more ppl in the us. And the money that ford makes from the sale of a car made in a different country goes to Ford, not the plant, but Ford, so they can keep open their plants in the US and employ more ppl than toyota.

    Actually the fusion hybrid doesn’t use a Toyota hybrid system like the altima. Do some research please.

    Then you might want to urge Ford to develop their own batteries and stop building their cars in “another country” as you just pointed out.
