2013 Ford C-Max, an AW Flash Drive
http://www.autoweek.com/article/2010...IEWS/101009968
Ford expects to launch the C-Max in the United States in early 2012.
How's it drive?
Better than any minivan we've driven, if your predilection leans toward sharp, solid braking and quick lateral movement. The C-Max feels light and responsive as people movers go, and it's surprisingly engaging. Overall, it's smooth, quiet and impressively solid.

There are quite a number of Mazda 5's on the road here (whereas the Kia Rondo is practically invisible). If the Transit is any indication, this may do better than expected. Especially if they give this the EB engine option - an area where the Mazda falls short.

I just read the article from Car & Driver and they're claiming 30 mpg highway.
Maybe it's just me, but I expected more from a 1.6L engine ...
Even a much larger and heavier (4,350-5,550 lbs) and much more powerful (3.5L V6 248 hp) Honda Odyssey gets a 28 mpg highway.

I didn't read anything "concrete" regarding MPG from FMC or the EPA so why "expect" anything until official numbers are released . . .
