ab-b Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Filed under: Etc., Acura, BMW, Buick, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Subaru, Toyota
The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

I hate Ford. The Fusion hybrid and Taurus are acceptable aesthetically. The Focus is one of the ugliest cars you'll find at any dealership right now. I drove through several dealerships last week looking to test drive, and they had SO many Focus on the lot! My God, they are hideous.
The Escape's interior is so shitty. Plain, plastic, and bland. Sure, they threw a few colorful LEDs in there that you can change, but I'm not a woman so I don't care about that sh*t. This flows through with several Ford vehicles. The interior is absolute crap. Looks cheap, feels cheap, blah.
Now the Toyota Tundra is a bad ass truck. The Lexus hybrid car (forget the model, ch##?) is pretty nice as well, comfortable and smooth drive. But Ford? f*cking Fail.
