[QUOTE=Sulu;8405863] But the new Ford Fusion I drove recently (with the 2.5-litre engine, I believe, not an EcoBoost engine) was so smooth and refined that it changed my mind about the Ford Fusion -- perhaps the hype I have read about it is at least partially true.QUOTE]
Yes, the 2.5L unit is much smoother than the coarser 2.3L it replaced
What company was this?

The Tempo/Topaz twins were actually fairly well built, overall....certainly better than their defect-ridden GM and Chrysler X-Body/K-Body competition, which were both awful. Their only real problem (as I remember from test-driving them) were the balky carburators which usually ran too lean and caused drivability problems. But that was typical with many carburators (emission-controlled ones)...and a prime reason the industry switched to EFI. In fact, IMO, the switch to EFI took too long. It should have come in the 1970s, not the late 1980s when it actually did. Too many poor-running new cars were built in those years as a result.

I say domestically designed, of course, because so much of today's auto industry is global, and some "American" vehicles are actually rebadged European or Asian-designs.
