    Ford C-Max Energi Is Done, C-Max Hybrid To Follow Sometime Next Year

      End of the road

    Ford has quietly ended production of the C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and will be ending C-Max Hybrid production sometime next year at their Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI.

    "Ford C-Max Energi production has ended," said Dan Jones, Ford's North America Car Communications Manager to Green Car Reports.

    "We will continue to make C-Max Hybrid [models] at [the] Michigan Assembly Plant until mid-2018."

    The C-Max Hybrid and Energi were introduced in late 2012 as 2013 model year vehicles to take on the likes of the Toyota Prius. But the two models would be hit with a double whammy. First was a number of complaints and lawsuits from owners saying the real-world fuel economy didn't match up with EPA figures. Ford would revise the numbers for the hybrid twice, while the Energi would only be adjusted once. The second was the decline in sales. In 2013, Ford would sell 35,210 C-Max models. So far in 2017, Ford has only moved 15,512 models.

    • Make that book with me riding on Pegasus holding the lifeless head of Charlie Kirk as a stand in for Medusa flying high right beside Trump (as a stand in for the windmill and the Kraken) and dead Charlie's stare is turning the Maga world into stone and you got me.  
    • Sadly I am probably the only one here that will read this, but thank you.  You need to talk about how cool Montreal is, or something. Archie Bunker back in the 1970s led a miserable existence because he realized how much better everyone else's life was. Focus on the good in your life, not the lives of others. Be grateful you don't live here, and encourage other Canadians to boycott.   Lithium makes great anti psychosis meds, as well as batteries. So many uses.  irrelevant, most Americans would survive this civil war, and regardless of outcome would not improve current downward trajectory of US
    • There are no imaginary beasts with that dude you just quoted. The windmills are real with him and the other dude form Saint Louis.  Sorry that you are in the crosshairs. 
    • There is a really good book by Len Deighton called Violent Ward, where LA goes completely to ship (t) and things fall apart. Was a good read a couple of decades ago when I read it.  Twenty years ago, this forum was well populated and relevant. Now its a pathetic shadow of its former self. Being here is like watching the final collapse of LA in that novel. I feel bad for Drew, who owns the site and is a good guy.  But the site mirrors the domestic auto industry and the country that holds that domestic auto industry, all three are going to collapse into irrelevancy.  We need a book with Olds on a Horse with Windmills. Don Quixote was another good read, but it takes an 8th grade literacy level which most Americans seem to actually lack. I work in a university and a surprising number of incoming Freshmen are almost functionally illiterate.  Would love to live in a world where cars like a 70 442 were still relevant, or where we had interesting, profitable American EV's. I do like the lightening and a few of the hummers.  But in this world, the 442 is following other American muscle cars, the American auto industry, the country, and this site into oblivion.  Feel free to request meds. I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but god damn, the windmills thing son....and I don't mean modern renewables...Don...don Quixote... America needs a divorce, where sane places like Washington, Oregon and Northern California can form a country called Cascadia and other states can descend into 1820 socially, politically, and religiously, and then 1620. When were the witches hung in Salem, Mass again?  Its going to become an irrelevant third world fascist state. give it thirty years, or weeks, or minutes, god only knows how long. 
    • There is nothing to do. Listen to Richard Wolf, the collapse is inevitable at this point. America is incapable of governing itself, and thus the economic collapse will keep America from causing negative consequences around the world.  Given the Belt and Road initiative and other positive things on the BRICKS side, a Chinese century is preferable to an American century at this point.  The 21st century should be the Chinese century, and Canada is doing the rational thing getting rid of tariffs on Chinese EV's as the domestic automakers are destined to fail and disappear. Better Canadians don't own vehicles that are obsolete that they can't get parts for.
