I’m sorry that your Prius makes you miserable. Really GBHUGVA, your posts remind me of a dirty political campaign. You’re obnoxious, bitter and highly unbelievable. You obviously have some demented agenda or you wouldn’t spend your time in this message forum. I’ve never clicked the “ignore” member feature before but sadly, you’re my first.

The Ford with 140K miles feels much more solid than the Toy with 103K on it. I don't care who sold more, the Ford wins in our family!

By DEE-ANN DURBIN TICKERS IN THIS ARTICLE.NAME LAST CHNG % CHNG # F 10.16 0.00 0.00 # TM 76.72 0.00 0.00 DETROIT (AP) - Ford is taking on Toyota in the hybrid market. Ford Motor Co. said Thursday that its new C-Max hybrid small minivan will have a base price of $25,995 when it goes on sale this fall. That's $500 less than Toyota's Prius V wagon. Ford says the C-Max's fuel economy will also beat the Prius V, which gets an estimated 42 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. Toyota Motor Corp. has dominated the hybrid market for more than a decade. In March, for example, 65 percent of the 50,000 hybrids sold in the U.S. were made by Toyota, compared with 3.5 percent for Ford. Ford hopes to change that with the five-seat C-Max, which will be sold only in hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric versions.

Our 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid gets 32.5 most of the time, paid 10grand the wifes P.O.S. 2004 prius only gets 40.3 not 60 like they said, but she got it for 7grand, ok beater I guess, but the Ford is our favorite, better quality for sure! reb4, that driving 30-40mph(pulse-glide/hyper-miling) in 45-55limit roads will get you rear-ended, oh maybe your into that kinda thing!

Similar to the hybrid sedan, the roomier Prius V captures the "waste heat" from its exhaust system. However, flawed components in the recovery system may cause the Prius V to leak engine coolant. Good for US EV's!
