I wonder if an Acrylic Foam tape could be used to attach the spoiler? Would save you the half hour needed to muster the guts to drill holes in your new trunk! I would think most Dealers would install one. I'm guessing it would be around $300+. If it were me - it would be ebay and a drill.

Yeah, true...just adds a tad more complexity to the transaction - and I'll probably have to listen to the 110 reasons why I should buy one of their other cars from "their" stock.

Shamwow! Yes Virginia, 2011 FFHs do exist. Just found the first (and only) 2011 Hybrid in my area! Only problem is...it's at the one Dealership I will not buy from...and to pile on...it's the color we want, and pretty much all the options, including accessories I want. Dang! Anyone out there have the Powercode Remote Start System? Does it work well? Thanks!

Ok, thanks for everything guys! Can't wait to get one of these bad boys ordered. I agree to go for the 2011 - giving you "one more year of new" - did that on my '97 F150 i got in '96 - but since I'm planning to keep this one for a decade or more - it might not matter to me that much. I still have friends that aren't sold on the Hybrid cost/benefit. I tell them that when it comes to your pocketbook, buying a Hybrid vs. a gas only vehicle to me, is like removing a huge bandage off of the hairy part of your arm. You buy the Hybrid and just rip it off all at once and be done, or you peel a little off at a time. I don't know about you, but I've always been a fan of just ripping it off all at once. Of course, who knows, 12-14 years down the road, I might be ripping off another small bandage if the battery goes bad. Ha! 73, and have fun! Greg

You 11 owners are killin' me! So, what's the verdict? Have you looked at the 10s and like the features in the 11 model, or were the differences no factor? I understand the changes are subtle - HD, MyKey, wipers...etc. I'm just asking. Still no dealers with 11 Hybrids in these parts. I suppose I should go ahead and send in my X-Plan request form and - with any luck - have my Pin ready.

Yeah, I suppose the good money would be on purchasing a discounted 2010, but I'd still like to see the 2011s. I wonder why they had a delay in production of the Hybrids?

Yep! Sure enough...they just haven't hit the dealerships in our area. I guess we'll just keep waiting... Thanks! Oh, and I guess the new 2011 Hybrids come with the MyKey feature now too - although, based on how my truck has fared 2 teenage drivers - I suspect we won't be handing the keys - MyKey or no MyKey - over quite so willingly...

Yes, we understand there are only a few changes, but... We don't really care for leather, and around these parts...if you want NAV, you get leather (502A). I'm thinking we could save about 1k dropping the leather. That said, I understand that a dealer is likely to drop the price on their 2010 stock, and we could likely end up getting the leather free. But that's just it, we'd prefer cloth. I have a '97 F150 that we ordered back in the Spring of '96 that has cloth, and the seats still look great. I also hear (although, haven't yet verified) that we may be eligible for X Plan pricing, as we are shareholders of Ford stock. If that's the case, we could order what we want from the 2011 line, and not feel too bad about the purchase price. Plus, I like some of the features they've added: Global down windows, auto down passenger, HD radio, auto sensing wipers, universal garage door opener, and the new Steel Blue body color - reminds me of a almost blue-green - sorta. Mainly, I just want to sit in one, check out the differences, and see if I really like them, or not. Ultimately, we could still go either way, but before we drop 30k on a new car, I don't want to feel like - man!...I should've waited... So, I was mostly wondering why the Hybrids aren't on the lots with all the other 2011 trims.

Wife wants a hybrid. I love Fords, been driving them for years. Went to see and drive the 2010 Fusion Hybrids - very nice, but being so close to the 2011s coming out, we figured we'd wait and see if we "had to have" the new model, rather than pick one of the 10s on the lots today. I see the 2011 Fusions are already out, and have seen all the trim lines except the Hybrid. Anyone know when they'll be hitting the lots?
