Consumer Reports recommends lots of Fords, and Ricart has them all.

It’s the start of a new year, and the accolades for Ford just keep on coming, all hot on the heels of Motor Trend’s choice of the new 2009 F150 as “The Truck of he Year”.
This time it’s Consumer Reports singing the praises of The Blue Oval by placing six Fords on its list of eight recommended vehicles from the Big Three American Manufacturers. Chevy managed to land two cars on the list, and Chrysler had none.

Consumer Reports is planning on releasing the list in their February issue, a couple months earlier than the norm, and on it will be the Ford Fusion, Taurus, and Taurus X along with the Mercury Milan, Sable, and MKZ. According to CR, this early release is a shortened list, with the complete version due in a couple of months when testing of all models and brands are complete. Looks like they just couldn’t wait to get the word out!


As part of its praise for Ford, the nation’s leading consumer periodical said that almost all Ford vehicles rank average or better for their reliability. As a matter of fact, David Champion, CR’s chief car tester said, “Ford has been doing a lot right on reliability for the past five years. It’s not immediately apparent that the Ford Fusion would be more reliable than the Toyota Camry, but it is…”

Hmmm… Fusion more reliable than Camry according to Consumer Reports, and when you buy a Fusion, the cash doesn’t hop a boat to Japan. Kind of makes you wonder why people here in The States are still buying the Toyo doesn’t it? Are you on your way to Ricart Ford in The Ricart Megamall for that new Ford yet?
