Replying to: bigt (Dec 10, 2008 7:43 am) Be aware that if you're buying a hybrid to save money it normally takes at least 5 years and sometimes as much as 10-12 years of fuel savings to make up for the added cost of the hybrid version. If you just want a hybrid and don't mind paying a little extra up front that's fine, but be aware. Heat is probably ok since there would be residual heat in the engine unless it's been off for a long time. And I think they switched to electric A/C so that may work also without the ICE - at least while the battery holds out. Early models required the engine to run for A/C which is one reason the early hybrids did so well on the EPA tests. Prior to 2008 the EPA did not use A/C on the fuel economy tests. I believe anyone can start a topic. I would suggest a 2010 Fusion/Milan Hybrid topic. The 2009 Escape uses basically the same system with minor differences so you could probably get a lot of answers in those forums.

Replying to: nvbanker (Dec 11, 2008 11:03 am) LOL - I've always liked how SAABs looked. Of course, I still miss the more classic looking Volvo 240, or even the 850. As for the Taurus, I think it looks classically functional.

Replying to: displacedtexan (Dec 16, 2008 12:36 pm) "Classically functional" is the best compliment I have ever heard about the Taurus styling. My father used the same words to describe the manure spreader that we owned when I was a kid.

I own a 2008 FWD MKZ that was built in May 2008 and purchased in late July 2008. I have a high pitched wining sound that is noticeable between 20 - 40 mph. It almost has the same sound as a supercharger when it is spirling up. I previously owned a 2006 Mini Cooper S and the sound is almost identical to when the supercharger kicked in on that car. The transmission shifts fine and there is no hard down or up shifts from it. I can't determine if the sound is coming from the transmission or the air intake. Has anyone else experienced this? Are you just putting up with the noise or is there a fix for it? Thanks for responding.
