  1. im sure it was either a cost issue or a USA regulations/safety legality thing. perhaps Ford does surveys after ownership and ask what you liked and didn't so you can request it there.

    I am sure it wasn't either of those issues. Ford still has a little stake in Mazda and could have borrowed the technology from them, if they weren't allowed to use there's. Like I have said before many other brands have this feature on there American vehicles.

  2. Is it part of the Europen pedestrian safety program?

     

    pedestrian hood :hysterical:

    pedestrian airbag :hysterical: :hysterical:  

    maybe pedestrian Active City Stop :drop: 

    Yes, in Europe they are soon going to make sure all vehicles are equipped with those features. Although, Ford had already started putting Active City Stop on there vehicles, before this law was going to go in place. Lastly, I like the idea if everyone just posted how much they would love this feature in America. Hopefully it will be the 1 topic.

  3. Do any of you know what Active City Stop is? It is a collision avoidance feature that can hit the brakes for you. Ford sells it on there European vehicles, but not there North American vehicles. I really wish Ford would put it on there vehicles here. Other car company's like Merceds Benz, Mazda, Subaru, and Volvo all have it. Ford use to own two of those company's.(Volvo and Mazda.) I am sure they still have connections with both of them. If you want to see it in action watch this video. Here is the link, http://youtu.be/vyhXbBsoATo. Please call and e-mail Ford if you want this feature in America to. We may even be able to start a petition. Maybe the first vehicle they will implement it on will be the C-max Hybrid

  4. have to also worry about the losers at fuelly who created bogus accounts to fudge/ruin the cmax mpg numbers lower on purpose !!

    :rant:  :rant:

    median would help with those for sure

    taking out the highest and lowest values in a data set are also common techniques to minimize skewed data

    You are 100% right. Fuelly should require you to put in your vin# or something else to prove you own the vehicle you are reporting on. I hate the fact that some people try to ruin other vehicles reputation. Are they really that afraid Ford is going steal all of Toyota Prii sales? Oh, wait yes they are. Ford has taken 12% market share from Toyota since last year. Ford has 18% and growing and Toyota still has a whopping 58%, but that numbers goes down monthly. (Last year at the beginning of March Toyota had 71% of the hybrid market.)

  5. Fuellys MPG went up by 0.1 mpg!!! the best part is the number of people with 39 mpg went down and the number of people with 40 mpg went up!!!!!!!!!!!! This is clearly showing that, as the weather gets warmer the C-max mpg goes up. I took the first photos on 5-3-2013 and the second on 5-5-2013. The photos have date and time in the right bottom corner.
