Great car so far! Almost as many features as my traded-in '08 Cadillac CTS.
I hope that power blower is an electric one and not a two stroke gasoline powered one.

I'm glad you like your Fusion, I think they are pretty sharp looking and might consider one in the future, although they are a little more pricey than I prefer. Maybe the Focus hybrid if they do one...

Used the 110VAC outlet in the back console to power the blower!

Focus a little too small for wife and two small dogs. We looked at the Camry Hybrid, but quite frankly, I'm so **** tired of seeing every other car on the road a Camry, that I was talked out of it. Much more attractive colors though.

Good hunting!

I think ford is looking into making a Ford Focus all electric! I'd get one and give my Escape to the wife!

I average 100+ miles a day so until battery range and recharging infrastructure drastically improves I just don't fit the all electric demographic.

Yep that's why she'd get to keep the FEH and i get the focus.. My round trip to work is 14 miles and the car would sit and charge for 8 hours while I'm at work. So yeah i can see why that would not work for some. She's like you (maybe) drives 30 miles (one way) sees a client for maybe 2 hours and off to the next stop. Too far and no/or little charge time at stops.

My current record for leaves is 21. That's when I get around 41 mpg, but I hope to beat that record in the spring when it warms up and I can turn off the heater.
