Some interesting tidbits in this report, including the following:

 

 

 

C-MAX Hybrid customers are also far more likely to load up their vehicles:

  • Vehicles equipped with technology packages on C-MAX Hybrid move off dealer lots three times faster than those without
  • 27 percent of C-MAX customers get the panoramic fixed-glass roof
  • More than three out of four customers choose the hands-free liftgate

I am thinking that we are seeing just the tip of the iceberg with these C-MAX  and Fusion sales numbers.

 

1. People are getting tired of the Prius - which is underpowered, uncomfortable, awkward (someone referred to the instrumentation in the Prius as "like an ATM machine"), and for all these faults, overpriced.

2. We are seeing a slight reprieve in gas prices and availability, but it is not a renewable resource, so prices are likely to go up over time.

3. The Government has mandated fuel efficiency standards that require manufacturers to continue to improve efficiency. So, if anything, we should see an increasing reliance on Hybrid technology going forward. 

4. These are excellent vehicles to drive. Comfortable, powerful, fuel efficient, quite, loaded with high-tech, and fun.

FTFY.  :)

 

With fuel cheap again around here, I'm seeing a lot of new vehicle buyers tags on BATS (Big Ass Trucks Suv's) around here.   :drop:  :waiting:
