Jus-A-CMax Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Ooooh, another white CMax, nice photo for the article ;) Count me as someone who bought last quarter, had to beat the upcoming sales tax here in silly California for 2013. IMO, once this myth of low mileage on the CMax is blown to pieces - and it will - when these engines are broken in and friendlier temps, they would sell like hot cakes. After all, that the press' alleged Achilles Heels with the CMax, everything else is a cut above the Prii family.
