Our C-Max was to be ordered today after we "signed up" at the dealer last night. Their allocation slot was ready for ordering so maybe it will be sooner than 6-8 weeks. Can't wait! It will be our first hybrid. My wife and I make 500-650 mile trips and are ready for better mileage than the RX300 and more comfort than the Fit. We are a four driver household at present and when the oldest car came up "not worth fixing" I started a rather extensive look at non-sedan options with great fuel economy and good space and comfort. Needless to say, the C-Max won out - and in the end, rather easily. I would really like to have an Energi - maybe later when they figure out how to get back the lost space. For now will be quite busy with all the info screens and trying to get the best fuel economy. Its in my blood since my dad was always trying to get the best mileage he could. Back in the '60s he was glad to get in the low 20s for mpg! Now its double that. Wow! We ordered the SE with winter package and panoramic roof (actually like the fact that it doesn't open). Debated some on color, considered Ice Storm quite a bit and also Sterling Gray. Medium Light Stone interior. So, please build it soon and build it well!
