Just bought a hybrid a couple of weeks ago. Should have waited till last weekend (Memorial day). Ford just sweetened it's 0% interest deal with another $1000 in cash back. Same dealer I bought from added insult to injury by giving the FEH away at near invoice prices on top of the Ford incentives.

Why is Ford having to give away the FEH? At the same time H2 sales are at an all-time high! The old quality concern should not be a deterrent - the FEH is the best-designed mass-produced Ford IMHO. Certainly the way the eCVT integrates the traction motor, gas motor and generator is a technological marvel. I drove up and down mountain roads for 100 miles and the FEH's eCVT did exactly what a professional driver would have done. It even started the gas motor and used it for engine braking when the batteries were charged! It was eerie taking my foot off the throttle and watched as the engine RPMs INCREASE ! No need to use the brakes, the eCVT changed the gear ratios as more engine braking was required! About the only complaint I have is that Ford didn't use the 8500 mAh D-cells instead of the 6000 mAh ones in the FEH battery pack. This car needs a bigger battery (or a wider battery charge operating range).

I averaged 33 mpg going at the maximum speed limit all the way. Try that in your hybrid Highlander or your RX400h.

I guess the American public needs further incentives in the form of higher gas prices to have them ditch that Hummer for a more sensible alternative. I say : OPEC, bring it on!!
