Everything about Alison Gannett is green, from her straw-bale house to her solar-powered appliances. But when you're as serious about curbing carbon as she is, a mere hybrid won't do. That's why she spent $35,000 to install an extension cord on her Ford Escape Hybrid. She is among a small but vocal -- and growing -- number of people who aren't waiting for automakers to deliver plug-in hybrids. These...
Four-dollar-per-gallon gasoline may be wreaking havoc on sales of the Mustang, F-150 and Explorer, but it comes along at a convenient moment for the facelifted 2009 Escape and Mariner. Six-speed automatics replace four-speed automatics , there's a new lower front chin spoiler below the redesigned front fascia and rear tire spoilers for better aerodynamics, and new low rolling resistance 16-inch Michelin...
The price of gas is crunching your budget, yet you have a decent-sized family and need the room and utility of an SUV or crossover. What's a car buyer to do? As a potential answer to this conundrum, we turn...
By David Roberts Everyone in the world has already linked to this story about McCain's 13 cars (Obama has one -- a hybrid Ford Escape), but I just can't get over the humor of this sentence: "The McCains also own three 2000 NEV Gem electric vehicles, which are bubble-shaped cars popular in retirement communities." I think the hypocrisy game is silly and have denounced it at length when aimed at Al...
Barack Obama’s new ad calls out John McCain for saying he bought American cars “literally all my life,” but cites a Newsweek story that McCain has 13 cars, including several foreign made. Obama, the article says, has one: 2008 Ford Escape hybrid. Where’s the ad running? The battleground of Michigan, of course.
Ford Canada has a media program where they lend cars out to writers; I don't drive a lot (and our car guy Mike was too far away) but had never been in a hybrid so took them up on their offer of a 2008 Escape hybrid. My first reaction was that IT'S BIG! I asked Marketing Manager Sarah McGrath why they put such an energy efficient package in such a big car, and was informed that a) the Escape is Ford's...
Based on public vehicle-registration records obtained by Newsweek , John and Cindy McCain own 13 cars and Barack and Michelle Obama own one, a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid.
How many cars do you own? John McCain: thirteen, including a 2004 Cadillac CTS. Barack Obama: one; a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid. To be fair, eleven of Mr. McCain's cars are registered in his wife's name: There's a 2005 Volkswagen convertible in the garage along with a 2001 Honda sedan. Otherwise, there's a 2007 half-ton Ford pickup truck, which might come in handy on the Sedona ranch; a vintage 1960 Willys...
Now that we've hashed out how many houses the presidential candidates own, it's time to investigate how many cars they each have. Newsweek is on the case. Michelle and Barack Obama own one Ford Escape hybrid. Cindy and John McCain have quite a few cars. Obama's lone vehicle also is a green machine, a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid. He bought it last year to replace the family's Chrysler 300C, a Hemi-powered...
Exterior Design: **** It may still a straightforward compact SUV, but thanks to the Opelization of Saturn, the 2008 Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid looks far better than its predecessor — with a more refined, European styling direction than its competitors, particularly the block-like Ford Escape. The rubber fits the wheel wells, all the handles feel solid and even the hybrid badges, which use the same...
Dog hurt in car crash is breathing easy again, thanks to oxygen masks rescuers now carry to help animals Kristin Sherman, 16, was driving her little brother and their dog Sadie to Chick-fil-A in the Harmans area on a wet Saturday when her Ford Escape skidded through an intersection, collided with a mail truck and spun into a fire hydrant.
A group of taxi-fleet owners that contends hybrid cabs are unsafe is suing the city to stop fuel-efficiency standards from going into effect next month. The hybrid cabs, such as the Ford Escape, are not built to be taxis, and the necessary...
2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid 4WD Ford has greatly improved the Mercury Mariner (and its twin, the Ford Escape) in the last two years, concentrating on the styling for 2008 and the mechanicals for 2009. If we're all going to end up driving hybrids, the revolution should start in this class. I think the small cute-ute/crossover segment was born out of nothing but marketing departments, and these vehicles...
