Pheobsis,

Yup, the Escape was on Good Morning America a couple of weeks ago with the GM of Ford and thier lead Engineer showing it off. Not sure if they are in cahoots with Toyota, but it seemed to be exactly the same technology that I have had discussions with the Toyota dealers about concerning the Pruis.

I should add to this a little as well....the spot mentioned 60-70MPG for the Escape but were not 'firm' numbers as the EPA cert wasn't done yet. If running the Gas for a majority of the time they mentioned right around 30MPG.
Also, when the question of the costs came up...the GM mentioned it should be around a $2k add-on for the Hybrid. Ask me, thats downright reasonable!

But, all that said, The new Rav4 is supposed to used the same technology and me and momma may end up with one of those eventually for a commuter after we hand the Daewoo off to my son as his car probably for xmas this year.
