[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 993508, member: 65699"] I'm considering exchanging some of my Fords in due time, but despite all the cool new stuff Ford is bringing to the table, I'm noticing some things that I really don't care for. One of which is the electric parking brake. The 2013 Escape is shown to have a handbrake (much desired IMO over the 2012's foot/hand combination brake), which is a good thing. I do not care for some push-button electrical widget that provides features that can I do not want (hill assist) and works in an unpredictable and unusable fashion (how and which wheels it brakes), if it works at all (electrical). IMO an electric handbrake is like a slot machine without the arm to pull... :sad: The 2013 Fusion, however, is shown with what looks to be an electric parking brake. While the Fusion isn't yet out and thoroughly reviewed (so only preproduction models have been photographed), I fear that the electric parking brake will make it to production. Has anyone heard anything on this subject? http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/1201_2013_ford_fusion_first_look/photo_13.html:sad: [/QUOTE]
