Ford C-Max Outsells Prius v in First Month of Sales
http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...-of-sales.html
In its first month of sales, the Ford C-Max hybrid sold 3,182 units, outselling its largest competitor, the Prius V, by almost 400 units.
October marks the first full month of sales for the C-Max, a small hybrid vehicle which claims a 47 mpg combined rating. The C-Max hybrid helped Ford to have its best small car sales in October in 11 years. One in four C-Max vehicles sold went to buyers in California, a State known for its appreciation of electric cars and hybrids.
Ford data shows that 70 percent of C-Max hybrid buyers traded in a competitive vehicle, or bought the C-Max without trading in any vehicle.
The C-Max starts at $25,995.

^^ wow. and in the south here at least, customers buying the ford don't get whacked with the lame south east toyota (distributor) fee / markup.
plus unlike the otherwise very competent prius-v the c-max doesn't have the truly WEIRD and cheap interior

" Ford data shows that 70 percent of C-Max hybrid buyers traded in a competitive vehicle, or bought the C-Max without trading in any vehicle."
i failed to see how "traded in a competitive vehicle" and "without trading any vehicle" has any commonality, if anything, they are mutually exclusive.
i am confused of the purpose of this statement.

c-max has been described as a tall focus, so i guess it's not that roomy (i've not yet seen one in person).while i like the looks of the focus, i don't like it overall because it feels very cramped inside.
