I didn't say it was impossible, just rare. Sounds like that dealer is a keeper!

Milians HB inventory by bigt

Two new ones just arrived at Darcar Lincoln Mercury in Temple Hill, MD. One of the Hybrids has an almost 2k internet discount so it is around 29.6k. I am surprised to see that.

There is a loaded FFH at Apple Ford in Columbia MD (zip 21045) internet special for $2,500 under MSRP, if you are MD it's worth checking out.

It's according to the dealer whether they'd except A-plan. A buddy just bought a new Mustang GT, slightly refreshed in '10 over the '09 and the dealer wouldn't sell it to him A-plan. I mentioned it at my dealer and they busted out laughing...they were selling the hot redesigned Mustang A-plan when they first came out a few years ago....same with the Fusion Hybrid....I'm going to check out a Milan Hybrid tomorrow!

That internet special must have sold. I see one left $500 under MSRP. A buddy just purchased a regular Fusion now he wants the Hybrid. Is there such a thing as turning a car back in?

2010 Fusion is sweet by acdii

Just got back from the Ford dealer. They had a BBQ + Beatles tribute band day. They had a 2010 Fusion Sport which is the closest to the Hybrid package that they have in stock. As soon as a hybrid rolls off the truck its sold.
 
Anyhow, I had the wife and kids with so she had a chance to check the car out and she loves it. Compared to the Camry, it made the Camry feel real cheap. More trunk space, more back seat space(legroom), and the seats fit like a glove. The leather material is soft and smooth, and they even have it on the door panels. The dash is much nicer than the Camry and doesn't have that glaring lighted center section. The only thing that was on the meh side were the climate controls, down at the bottom of the stack, and a little hard to see, but considering it is automatic climate control, you would rarely use them anyways. They have 2 hybrids due in soon, a Silver(What is with all the silver cars?), and a metallic gray. Both are maxed out at 32300.
 
Silver, what is up with all the silver models? My prius, the only one they had, just off the truck, Silver. The Camry, only one in stock, Silver. 5 Ford dealers with Hybrids in stock, all Silver!

window label lookup by hoyafan

Here's a neat website that allows you to look up your window label assuming you have your VIN:
 
http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=3FAD- P0L3xAR1xxxxx (substitute your actual values for the xxxxx)
 
If you've ordered your car, you can even see your name on the window label...

I think that depends on where you are, my dealer in central VA has 4 on the lot, I think 2 are cloth and 2 are leather. I don't know if you are close by, but my salesman has told me that he will sell any of these for $1,000 under MSRP which is a good price but not as good as others I've seen.

I've done a comparison of the 2010 Prius to the Ford Fusion Hybrid here at this link.

Nice review, I could not agree more. I owned a 2007 Prius for 10 months and 24,000 miles. Spot on with everything you mentioned, with the exception of the center console, I guess that was one of the major redesigns, the 2007 - 09 models had an open front floor area, which gave it a sense of more room than it actually had. Materials not only looked cheap, they are cheap, easily scratched, if you used any kind of protectant like armor all, it would dull up quickly and outgas all over the windshield, and because the windshield is so deep, it was a bugger to clean. I now have a 2009 Camry Hybrid, which I would love to trade on a 2010 FFH, but I don't have enough to put down to equal the current monthly payment. The Camry is a big improvement over the Prius, even though there is less cargo room, there is more passenger room, and front leg room, one of my biggest beefs on the Prius. The JBL system in the Camry is actually very good, very nice bass and treble, and even a decent mid range. Not as good as what I have in my Veracruz, but still much better than any other stock sound system I have had before. I think the only thing the Prius has over the Ford is the better fuel economy, but even still, if driven right, the Fusion can probably get what the Prius is rate at, at least my Camry is close to what the Fusion is rated at, I'm getting over 38 MPG mixed driving, and if I get on the highway I can get close to 50 MPG with some careful driving, over 40 in the city if the lights are in my favor. Currently I have too many stops and turns on my daily drive to get closer to 41 MPG, but when I don't have to drop the kids off, I easily see 41. The car is rated 34 MPG, so I say it does quite well.
 
With that said, I am waiting before plunging into the Fusion, first so I am not rolling over any negative equity(hopefully there is positive), and second waiting until there are a few out there with 20K+ on the clock and some history. With any luck there may even be some incentives on them once the tax credit is gone. I would rather have low interest financing than a small tax credit.
