Shopping for a car can be a real pain. But according to a new survey, there's one thing that consumers hate above all else: negotiating the price of their new ride. This isn't entirely surprising.

The Ford C-Max is a tall, five-door compact hatchback being launched for the 2013 model year. The C-Max Hybrid model will be followed in a few months by the C-Max Energi, Ford's first plug-in hybrid to be offered for sale.
