I would rather not ship these items, so anyone local who's interested, leave a short reply here and PM me so we can set up a meet.

They must have renamed the EV Selector to Eco Select. It's always been there and it is how you toggle between EV, Hybrid (Auto) and ICE. I don't know why they would list that feature in the Hybrid order guide??

Oops, missed the SYNC 3 upgrade. I don't know what the Eco Select is, isn't usually a gearing thing for city/highway?

These were just posted on the Blue Oval Forum. It doesn't look like there are any changes other than exterior colors and a two tone seat/bolster. 2016 C-MAX Hybrid Order Guide.pdf 2016 C-MAX Color-Upholstery-Wheel Guide.pdf

I bought snows last winter and it made all the difference in the world. I drove in two moderate snow falls before I could get to the tire store and the improvement was night and day. As fbov wrote, you are in for a treat.

It looks like SYNC 3 comes with the 202A (and above) package.

There were some early issues with both models, unfortunately that now seems to be the norm with new models and advances in technology. It seems most of the issues I've read about here and on the Energi forum have not been related to the hybrid/HVB drives, but systems every car has, like batteries and electronics. My Energi was built in 2/14 and I purchased it in 3/14, I have not had a single issue other than one simple update of the PCM. I love the car, it's the right size, comfortable and fuel efficient, I especially love driving past the gas station.

Thanks, I'll dig in to that a little deeper when I have more time.

I checked this morning and the open corner is to access the USB ports.

I assume that's why there's a open area. There's also a small punch out on the bottom rear that a new 9 point iPhone/iPod connector will fit through. The old style won't fit through the punch out, too wide. Here's a rough sketch of the dimensions, obviously not to scale.

My new tray from E-Bay/China arrived today. It's much improved over the stock tray and also better than the slightly deeper tray I got from E-Bay/China for my Escape. It says it doesn't fit the C-Max, but obviously it does. Check it out here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221657050447?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

My previous post has been edited, but I still contend that 4WD defeats the purpose of a Hybrid and especially a PHEV. What sort of range did the Highlander have and was it even possible to run using battery power when towing a boat? The owner's manual states: TOWING A TRAILER Never tow a trailer with your vehicle. This powertrain is not designed to tow.

A larger sized car would make it more appealing to more people. A couple of things on your list probably will never happen. You can't tow with a CVT and an all wheel drive version would take too much battery energy to move the car and reduce the battery range too much. Higher ground clearance may happen if the batteries are relocated and it will take a major redesign to include even a doughnut spare.
