On the flip side, their hybrid offerings (Fusion, Lincoln MKX) feel pretty solid. The smooth drive and handling of my Fusion hybrid feel pretty close to what I imagine a Tesla would (smooth quiet acceleration while on battery, but it also feels just as smooth when the ICE kicks in due to the eCVT [totally different technology than the older belt-driven CVTs]). Oh, and sync has been updated now to not use Microsoft embedded anymore. But the mapping and voice control still sucks bad (I usually use Android Auto, which works like you'd expect in 2018).
But their plugin hybrid version of the Fusion does feel like a minimal effort compliance product, due to the battery taking up too much trunk space (eliminating the possibility of folding down the rear seats for trunk passthrough), and virtually no electric-only range.
