C’mon, don’t be like that! They’re not the only ones who make a Camry competitor. We make cars too! Give us a chance, it’s not fair!

Fusion prettier outside, Cruze was prettier inside.
That’s pretty much how it goes comparing any vehicle type between Ford and Chevy.

Personally I prefer the interior of the Fusion. I've not been in that interior as much as I have a Cruze though.

Appearances, the Fusion looks okay. To the touch? It’s pretty bad. Glitter plastic is Ford’s current favorite material, so much so that it even adorns the major interior surfaces of Lincoln’s offerings as well. While Chevy is still guilty of plastic, it looks nicer and feels nicer.

Ads? That’s cute.

Of the midsize class, I’d only put my own money on a Mazda6. After that, a Fusion Energi Titanium. After that an Optima or Sonata, then Accord, Subaru, and whatever else there is that isn’t a GM.
TL;DR: I wouldn’t buy or recommend a GM. Buy a Mazda FFS.

I thought the Chevy plastic looked cheap and old fashioned myself. I would rather have the vinyl over foam that these companies used to have compared to this Chinese scooter looking hard plastic.

Yeah. While my own car, a 1990, definitely has a Fisher-price plastic interior, they owned the plastic-ness. It feels much more solid and higher quality than that chintzy, thin shit they started putting in cars in the late ‘90s and continue with to this day.
It wasn’t the ‘80s or ‘90s that nearly killed GM and Ford; instead, it was that by the time we got to ‘00, everybody else had improved while they had not.
