2013 CarSPIN Mainstream COTY
Voting Closes December 22, 2012
Ford Fusion
This will be a big car for Ford. Moreso than any other car up there will be for their respective manufacturers.
Going Fusion here
I know I suggested the Abarth, but at the end of the day, in the polling booth, the GTI is the better all around car. The Focus is tight on the inside for its extra size, and the looks are a little off-putting. The Abarth is really cool, but I'd question whether or not I'd actually buy one when a GTI costs pretty close. The 2012 Passat is a monstrous beast, perfect for people who don't really care about driving, but like the space and comfort. It does the American mainstream sedan thing very well, but compared to the B5 and B6, it's not the same car. The Accord may be pretty good, but its massive size is a turnoff. Same with the Fusion; it's a big car that's not packaged well, even though the 1.6 with a stick is an interesting proposition.
GTI.
Also, I feel like Ford should change their website....just took this screenshot:

Easily the Accord.
Poll closes tomorrow.
