Ford Draws First Blood In Hybrid War As C-Max Hybrid Outsells Prius V In First Full Month

Ford C-Max Hybrid sales hit 3,182 cars to the Prius V’s 2,769, with about 70% of those buyers being new to the brand. Ford also reported that about one-third of C-Max Hybrid buyers had cross shopped the C-Max with the Prius and Prius V.
