Everyone on the Internet has an opinion — especially Jalopnik commenters. That's why when the new Ford Fusion aroused such an overwhelming commenting lovegasm it got me thinking.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could bring some of those commenters — both fan-boys and negative nellies — out to sunny Southern California under the auspices of a Gawker Media research trip for a surprise face-to-face with the Fusion starring Top Gear co-hosts Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust?
