  • MtG,

    Yep that was the consensus circa 1995 at least.

    I see no reason to think that business model has changed substantially.

      If I was going hybrid? I would probably wait for the Ford Escape Hybrid. If all they say remains true, it will maintain power similar to the current V6 model, providing you with actual cargo and passenger space, without having to sacrifice good looks for better mileage.



      Ford is aiming to get 35-40 mpg for city driving.

      Personally, I prefer this:



      The T-80 hybrid.

        BTW, the hybrid system they're using in the Escape is actually licensed from Toyota, since Ford can't do anything complex by themselves.
        Or because such licensing is not uncommon?

        Nissan made the same deal with Toyota in 2002.

        Toyota is also going to be receiving Ford emission-reduction technology.

        And regarding all hybrid cars, according to wired.com, don't be too shocked if your city driving mileage is less than or at 60% of the EPA estimate.
