^^ wow. and in the south here at least, customers buying the ford don't get whacked with the lame south east toyota (distributor) fee / markup.

" Ford data shows that 70 percent of C-Max hybrid buyers traded in a competitive vehicle, or bought the C-Max without trading in any vehicle."
i failed to see how "traded in a competitive vehicle" and "without trading any vehicle" has any commonality, if anything, they are mutually exclusive.
i am confused of the purpose of this statement.
