well the link did not say too much... nothing about quality, etc. And it was weird about the pricing 41-45,300 The G was about as high as 50K. Where are they getting their information.

Actually, Ford has made a lot of quality improvements to the Focus since its intro. People here whine about the TL's shortcomings, but the Focus had SERIOUS problems that have now been dealt with, if not resolved. Don't take me the wrong way, I'm not a friend of Ford (actually more of a Mopar guy as far as the Big 3 go), but one has to give credit where it's due.

Nice to see the TL on the CR list again.

Another manufacturer that has seen surprising if not incredible shift in quality is Hyundai.

If I were shopping for a new midsize car, I would consider the Hyundai. Now if they would only make a navigation system.
