The Fusion Hybrid is a dual Five star safety rated vehicle. I would not want to get t-boned in a crash in a 1999 Saturn or 1995 Civic – Neither meet the new crash standards. This is a Safe and Fuel Efficient vehicle – a true mid-size American sedan, desiged in America by Americans.

The Fusion is larger than the Prius, carries five people and has a much larger trunk. It competes with the Toyota Camry Hybrid (the same size … larger than Prius) and is rated 8 mpg better than Camry Hybrid in the city.

This is another confirmation that the Ford doesn’t live up to the EPA numbers. The 2010 Prius has a EPA city rating of 51mpg which is 40% better than Ford.

I wonder what my 1995 Honda Civic gets — It probably does as well as this Fusion too, but my Civic’s small — 2-door — though certainly big enough for me –

Gavin — I would guess turning it into a plug-in’s possible, since I’ve seen so many crazy cars turned into plug-in hybrids that I get the sense it’s possible to turn almost anything into a plug-in — so long as you’ve got the money and the willpower — and a willingness to void your warranty. Plug In America should be able to answer your Qs if you’re really curious –

Solar panels on the roof of a commuter car is almost pointless. The ones that Toyota is coming out with only power a portion of the AC. Martin’s last blog post..Cheap Solar Panels

Do you happen to know if it’s plug-in hybrid possible? I think if you can make a car electric and add some solar panels to your rooftop – it’s not so bad.
