Who cares about the saving!!. The entertainment using and driving has already paid for the difference. 1 1/4 tank(s) around 700 mile mark. It is like playing a nitendo game. Can we get the efficiency to the maximum (omg look at all the cars that have to drive slowly behind me)? Let's see if I can get the voice control working on the 1st shot for the phone list or the 2,500 songs on the I-pod. Should I listen to Sirius, AM,FM, jukebox or maybe a DVD music score like Cher that we can watch at long traffic light or while waiting for someone. Maybe put the car in reverse to set the backup screen and then see how far we can drive forward with the screen still in reverse. Oh here's another one. Let's see if we can find something on the screen again, same screen that we found yesterday. There so many screens and toggle on the nav screen and another bunch on the LED on either side of the speedometer. Loaded a bunch of JPG pics into the system and now we need to decide what display on the left screen and what to display on the right side of the screen. GREAT car. As good as the 2006 Fushion SEL 6. Could not be happier. Just wish I had an 11 y/o to remember how to find screens. Oh well, I'll just keep rereading the manual and playing with all the buttons and menus. Rob in Montreal

I forgot to ask. I spent a while with my HTC Touch phone to get text messaging to work through the car. No dice. My wife's Motorola Razer works for incoming but not outgoing. Way cool. So here is the question. Does anyone know of of a touch phone that does SMS through bluetooth into the car SYNC and from the car SYNC using voice. Thx. Rob (info on syncmyride nor support are not able to help)

Who is your carrier?
 
AT&T Motorola Razr V3 and Nokia 6102i can support text messaging, but the Sprint Motorola Razr cannot. Sprint blocks most of the bluetooth operations to prevent you from using your phone as a gateway. Most AT&T Nokia and Motorola phones seem to work.

True you can buy a lot of gas for the price difference between a loaded I4 and a hybrid but as I was saying the difference is more like 13 hundred with the tax credit as opposed to the 3k sticker difference. I can also get the car A-plan which is 8% under invoice. It will be for my wife and she does mostly city driving except for a little expressway driving on the weekend. We won't take it on vacation as we always rent a large car for that.I do keep cars a long time. The Impala she has now is 9 years old so we tend to get our moneys worth out of them.

Have you verified with the dealer that they will sell you a FFH on A-plan?

My younger brother stepped up to the plate and today purchased his first American car. He ditched his Lexus for a Ford Fusion Hybrid. Said it was the right thing to do at this time. So now we are known as the Hybrid brothers.

A-plan by hoyafan

No reason a dealer shouldn't accept A-plan. Given it is on open allocation, an A-plan order is just one additional vehicle they will sell. We didn't have any problem with the two dealers we talked to.
 
For any that don't know: A-plan is employee (and immediate family) pricing.

Open allocation for customer orders is supposed to stop at the end of June. I agree there should be no problem ordering a FFH on A plan now (or X plan) now since it won't count against the dealer's normal allocation. However, if you're looking to buy one from inventory or order one after open allocation ends, then I'd be surprised if the dealer would accept A/X/Z plan on those due to limited allocation.

FFH in the news by texases

Today's Wall Street Journal article on cars selling at/near MSRP includes the FFH. Also, NY TImes has very positive review on its web site.
