They're too busy with the floor mat/unintended acceleration issue at the moment, I think.
Maybe they'll respond though... Toyota was quick to jump on Ford when they started trumpeting the Fusion hybrid as the most efficient mid-size car in North America. Strictly speaking (per EPA), the Prius is a mid-size car, and it's more efficient than the Fusion. So Ford changed its marketing to say "mid-size
sedan."
I've said it before: in the big picture, the absolute numbers are less important than the fact they're competing over them. Lower! Lower!
