DaveofDurham Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Now you see it, now I don't. I went to ford.com and got the MPG Savvy line-up of Escape, Fusion/Fusion hybrid, Focus and Fiesta - no photo or mention of the C-Max.

zhackwyatt Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've gone to the Ford website on two different browsers on same computer and get a different "featured picture". Even after clearing browser caches. I wonder if they are doing something like this: http://arstechnica.com/staff/2012/06/orbitz-to-mac-users-give-us-the-money/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) I was at Galpin this afternoon to talk to my sales guy there - the CMax are a top seller along with the Fusion Hybrids. Lots and lots of Prii drivers are converting to the CMax as they love the drive. Not surprising. Now according to him, he said very few of the CMax buyers came back to him complaining about the lack of MPGs. I asked if Galpin was one of those dealers who had a Prius there to compare against and he said no. I said they should, it would have been a deal closer, iimo - let 1st drive be a Prius and then BAM....be like going from a cold bowl of oatmeal to a Original Tommy's Chili Burger :) . Also, I showed him what I did today before I got to Galpin, a 70.4 mile trip around the San Fernando valley to Simi Valley and then drop down to Galpin and I got 54.6 MPGs and - get this - 40.8 miles were pure EV :wub2: - that is 58% of this trip was gas free, hallelujah, bring on the fireworks, CA is going to go broke with less gas tax from me....yippee :yahoo: As well, I test drove the Energi. Ice Storm and I think I :wub2: my Maxine better. Now, what was interesting was the Energi was NOT fully charged when I got my hands on it, so it had to behave like our hybrids. To me the Energi seemed less responsive and punchy in the engine, much like the same feel I had while driving the Fusion Hybrid. I have yet to get over the big hump in the back. Nonetheless, I would not say no to it either - that battery would have been awesome had it been fully charged but it was one that he pulled from the lot.

Adair Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 What's up with the green underscored *hot words) in the posts lately that take you to Infolinks? I clicked on one in the post thinking it would take me to something else Jus had written but it was just a commercial link. Above talk, hybrids, converting, and engines are like that. I've just seen them since yesterday. Is this advertising space sold to support the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus-A-CMax Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Not me, its commercialization like the gmail key words. Somehow the site owners have to pay for the cost of running this site - as it gets more hits, the higher the bandwidth, the costlier it gets.
