    I recently look through the website. Ford has announced their new product C-Max Plug-in. This new car will start sales on 2013 with the price of $33,745.

    This new Ford C-Max Plug-in has a battery with 20 miles EV range. It will be qualified for $3745 federal tax credit.

    This C-Max Plug-in can be driven upto 85 MPH under EV mode.

    I personally believe this might be a stronger competitor to Toyota Plug-in Prius although Volt (low emission model) is leading on the hybrid plug-in now.

    Yes, the specs are better, let's see how they do once there are some of them on the road.
    Personally, I would never buy a 1st gen product from the big 3...

    The Ford vehicle is on an assembly line that builds both gas and electric models.Toyota has been building hybrids for 12 years.There is no comparison between vehicles.Except if you compare the prius plug in to what would be considered the Ford vehicle analogous to what the Flintstones drove
