I remember seeing 2 illuminated still plates on that site a few weeks ago, but looks like it's gone now. Maybe it didn't really exist, just a bad listing.

I'll have to get used to being able to roll down my back windows! I've only had coupes so far, so never had to worry about which windows I open :)

It depends. My dealer had two orders with my specs (one retail and one dealer stock). Once my retail order was scheduled, they cancelled the dealer stock order. Not sure why, but it could be because they wanted to use that allocation for something else. ConFusioned, congrats on your purchase! Never used a car cover, so I can't help there.

Have you had a chance to read these threads: http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/5808-topping-off-the-gas-fuel-gauge-issue/ and http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/6201-whats-the-most-gallons-youve-been-able-to-put-in-at-one-fill-up/? It seems like Ford has a healthy reserve when it says the tank is empty (about 2 gallons). 9.7 gallons is pretty low, but you weren't completely empty either :)

Check out the Fuel Economy section of this forum. Driving a Hybrid is very different than driving a gas car. It takes patience, a light foot, careful planning and warm weather!

Congrats! I'm glad to hear you were able to use the expired coupon!

Nope, it's in production now. The build date got pushed to 3/22.

Saw this Ford news article and thought of you: New Ford Fusion Minimizes Pollen and ‘Touch’ Allergens

Have your dealer check for it in Vincent and tell you whether or not it applies to the Hybrid. It might still apply, even though the fine print in the e-mail version excludes hybrids. You might also get a printed copy when the brochure arrives, and the fine print might be different. BTW, I like that May 14th 2013 expiration date!

We already have 2 threads on this topic: http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/6163-spare-tire-for-fusion-hybrid/ and http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/6045-replacing-patch-kit-with-spare-tire/ The answer to your question is in there. Hint: Mufasha bought the non-Hybrid Titanium spare and jack from a dealership, but I don't think he used it yet. When someone actually uses it, they'll report in there :)

Sounds like they did a decent job :)

It was a couple days for me.

Expresspotato posted on the blue oval forums that the climate fan usage falls under "Other" instead of "Climate". This doesn't quite answer your question, but it's something to think about.

Here is a picture of the Husky mats in a Fusion: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/51482-weathertech-floorliners-for-2013-fusion/?p=813774 Here are pics of the WeatherTech mats. They cover more than the Ford ones, but still leave a gap where you can see carpet next to the door. http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/52281-weathertech-liners-now-available/?p=827540

Ouch, sorry to hear that :( Can you share some pics? How bar are they? Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your question, but hoping to learn from your experience and avoid scratching mine ...

Do you have heated seats? If you do, turn those on :)

I don't see any names on the sticker.

Titanium. The 2X button is for remote start.

Trust me, I'm refreshing these forums every 5 minutes! I even called Ford's customer service line to request a brochure :) Now :backtotopic:

Sure, but isn't it already in the 70's in Cali? :) We're still dealing with 32* temps in SE MI ...

And distracts you from driving safely :)

My thoughts exactly ... unless the overall size of the 18" wheels on the gas and hybrids are different? Could the regenerative brakes have anything to do with it?
