You're missing the whole point as to why they offer TWO different hybrid models this year. The SE version is just that, an entry level basic hybrid for those who really want a hybrid, but can't afford all the buttons and bells in the Titanium model. Simply put, there is a low cost hybrid and a high-end hybrid. Doing it this way saves money, offers more choice, and sells more hybrids. The more hybrids they sell, the quicker the pricing can come down on all hybrid models. Remember, these hybrids travel down the same assembly lines as the regular Fusions, so all SE models share packages. The only main difference is hybrid VS. gas. If they offered push to start on the hybrid SE, then they'd have to offer it on the regular model, and that kind of takes away from upscale features of the Titanium model. Ford also needs to keep some options low this year or there won't be any "improvements" to offer on next years model.
