Tax credits designed to give buyers incentives to buy more efficient cars are anything but new - the Toyota Prius has benefited from similar schemes for several years. Now Ford's Fusion Hybrid, as well as the Mercury Milan Hybrid, qualify for the maximum tax credit as well, giving buyers a $3,400 break on the purchase of either of the cars.Since both the Milan and Fusion rely on identical powertrains in very similar packages differentiated only by specification, both cars qualify for the credit.
