Ford Launches First American Hybrid

Posted by michael on from the just-for-timothy dept.

Ford has finally rolled out their Escape hybrid SUV. Ford's website has more information. Ford will use Toyota's first-generation hybrid technology in the SUV (the 2004 Prius is Toyota's second generation technology). Best of all, the Escape is street-legal in residential areas. Update: 08/06 22:31 GMT by M : A reader points out that GM will be selling a hybrid pickup soon, but it isn't available for sale to the public yet, so Ford is still the first.

    ... I heard John Kerry today made a point announcing the Kerry's and Edwards' families are on the waiting list for the Escape. That should make up for all the fuel burned by the yacht, private plane, SUVs, and mansions.
