Going by past experience, anywhere from 1-3 weeks would be normal. It depends on the amount of vehicles being shipped to the region that dealer is located in. They could be riding trains and trucks, so it's a matter of logistics. It's real easy to tell here in Texas because the cars, even though they are new, have to have a State Vehicle Inspection sticker. That is part of the dealer prep when they get them here, and they have to put a sticker on the front windshield. Real easy to tell when walking the lots how long the dealer has had the vehicle sitting there, and when it hit the lot originally.

the current Fusions look more like an American car Got a big chuckle out of that statement, considering the car is built in Mexico! I know what you mean, though. I was wondering about the decrease in engine size, but saw there is an increase in MPG's. Not sure how noticeable a loss of 6 HP would be felt.

I don't have any idea about the double ** on that list. I found that list through another forum I belong to and just posted it here in case it could help anyone else. After looking at the incentives again, I see that there is a disclaimer which I didn't see or notice before. The Hybrids are NOT eligible for any additional incentives at this time, so it would only be the X-Plan price. The Dallas Auto Show is starting March 21 and I plan on comparing the various hybrids. I also hope to see the 2013 Fusion and figure out if I want to wait or buy a 2012 model if I decide on the Ford.

WOW, am I glad I found this forum and this post! I just test drove and priced the FFH and MKZH Monday, after reading about them while researching what my next new car/truck would be over the weekend. I was told there are no incentives on the hybrid models, and I confirmed that on the Ford website. I read about the X-plan Partner program, and using a website I found I learned I am eligible for the plan! Check the link below to see if you are eligible. http://bigval.addr.com/commercial/x_plan.htm (This lists the companies eligible for the X-plan Partner price, I don't know how old it is, but it may get you on the right path) Using my partner code obtained from my company I submitted for and received my PIN number good for 1 year. I built and priced a FFH like I had driven and priced from the dealer on Monday. I am guaranteed almost $1800.00 off MSRP because of the X-plan, but more importantly I found an additional $2000.00 incentive (or special finance terms) for the hybrid available only to X-plan purchases! The MKZH has a higher incentive ($2500.00). Now I have to decide if I want the 2012 model, or wait until after the 2013 is released. I doubt there will be any incentives on the 2013 at release, but I don't need a car desperately at this time and can wait. There have been a few changes since the Oct 2010 post about the fees. The dealer can now add up to $100.00 for doc fees. There is also a $275.00 administration fee allowed which is not to be added to the X-plan price of the vehicle, but is a separate line item fee in addition to the $100.00 doc fee dealers are allowed to charge. So at the most, I would pay $375.00 but get any special X-plan incentives.
