DEARBORN, Mich., May 15, 2009 – According to an email that is circulating, Ford Motor Company is offering a special program to sell 500 2010 Fusion Hybrids for $15,500 each.
Unfortunately, the offer is not legitimate and the email is a hoax. Also, the sales manager listed in the email is not a company employee.
Ford recommends that people delete the email and any attachments.
But as long as we’re talking about the Ford Fusion Hybrid, we’ll take this opportunity to pass along some things that are true:
- The all-new 2010 Fusion Hybrid is America’s most fuel efficient mid-size car with a certified 41 mpg rating in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
- This tops the Toyota Camry hybrid by 8 mpg in the city and 2 mpg on the highway.
- The real MSRP for a 2010 Fusion Hybrid starts at $27,270.
And you can email that all you like.
