I wonder if and when dealers will be posting their C-Max's for sale here.

They must have the auto head lamps in Canada and some states require them for rental cars.

OK this site shows the 2013 C-Max Energi owners manual, which isn't out for another 5 months, but NOT the C-Max Hybrid: https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/owners_manuals/default.asp

Considering how few on these c-max's can be found at dealerships, I can see why they are not willing to make sweet deals. :(

I read on the blue oval site that once your VIN is issued, you have only a few weeks to make any changes because they will build it within that window.

How far back from the beginning of the roof does the panaramic roof begin?

Bravo on this video. If you're interested in a C-max Hybrid, THIS IS A MUST WATCH. Ford should do more videos like these to help us better understand the features and benefits of the C-max. It doesn't replace the reviews, which are a great learning tool too.

Okay. First, this is another comparison against the Toyota. But like the reviewer said, it's the only two cars that can be really compared together. Second, the Prius seems to always come ahead as far as rear cargo room goes. Why didn't Ford bring the Grand C-Max here rather than the five passenger? Too much weight for a Hybrid system? Third, 46 MPH while STILL under Hybrid mode? :wub:

To me at least I think it's all part of a tradeoff. Less total vehicle weight equals better fuel mileage. Yeah, maybe the auto makers save a few dollars by omitting the spare time, but as they try to shave weight out of the vehicle for improved fuel mileage, something has to give.

Any guesses on how many c-max models were sold in September? I'm guess 172. . .just a wild number from nowhere.

Welcome C-max'er. :) What kind of mileage are you logging so far?

Both models actually scare me. I was looking for the straight up gas model or ecoboost originally since I don't know anything about this hybrid business.

:o Impressive indeed. At what speeds are you driving it to get 42 MPG?

OK. This isn't about the movie Pulp Fiction. I gotta learn to read the titles better!

We don't have acro in Florida. I didn't even know that they are still around. What wrong with their fuel? Amen. B)

I think you're the first one here to get a C-max :) What color did you get? Did you order it or was it from dealer stock? Did you have to pay over MSRP or ? A lot of questions, but I'm really curious about the C-max. Sounds like you live in a beautiful area and have a nice weekend trip planned :camera:

The VINs are tracked by Ford employees at here: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-vehicle-locator-by-ford-employees/

I'm in the same boat. I'd like to get some first impressions before I decided which model to purchase. I am now leaning toward the Hybrid because of the lack of charging stations.

Ford producted a neat video of the 2013 Escape's cubby holes and storage spaces galore. I not seen anything on the C-Max yet though.

Leather is great if you have pets because the hair won't stick as easily. I like cloth due to the baking sun!

Yes - it will be optional or you can get a TomTom, etc. The build in ones seem to connect faster and are more reliable, but if you don't use one too often than you might be better off by getting a portable from Amazon.

That's the problem - the plugin at work or while on the road. Hybrid looks like what I might be getting.

I worry about my wife nagging me about directions. I know where I am going and never get lost! :lol:

I'll be ordering my Ford C-Max in silver, please. :)

Henry Ford and George Washington Carver were big into soy beans and their applications. That should have been mentioned in this article.
