Re: Hybrid Vehicles

The only things negative that Consumer Reports (CR) had to say about the Ford Escape Hybrid were (1) noisy on the highway when running on the gasoline engine, and (2) that CR would not recommend the Escape because of a tip-up in the government rollover test.

FYI. I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from the Escape. But my wife and I are doing some research on a new vehicle purchase and came across this bit of info.

The government incentive does make a hybrid vehicle look more attractive.
