Ford Fusion rental from Hertz

I have long said that the best consumer exposure to a car is to rent it.
I read an article the other day that commented that for the first time in Canada, GM is within a few hundred thousand vehicles in 2009 away from loosing their #1 spot. The #2 spot was Toyota (and they likely will not see those kind of sale numbers post for 2110) and #3 was Ford.
I can see why Ford is becoming the darling car company; no government bailout; just good management and their cars are surprisingly nice. The Ford Fusion, which is a cousin of the old Escort, is a nice vehicle. Of course I see them advertised on American Idol and such but never drove one. I am pleasantly surprised.
I already make every effort to not pick Chevy's at rental car companies as I know Chevy does not make one vehicle I like. I used to look for any foreign maker but I think now I will add Ford's to that list.
