1) CMax is in fact of European design, having been plucked virtually unchanged by Ford to serve as their "Hybrid" offering in the US - that is, unchanged other than in power train. The Buick, otoh, is derived from the Korean designed Spark.
2) More objective reviews of the Buick put the mileage at mid 20s overall. I did the math - even the "zero cost option" of continuing to push the 9-5 wagon down the road (with an admittedly generous, but not unreasonable repair allowance) was more costly overall than the CMax or Prius option.
3) Besides, GM offerings are off the table for me.
Post me privately for more.
