DRIVE IT LIKE A FORD
For almost forty years, I've driven Fords. There is no time like today when I can say, Drive It Like A Ford. I'm proud to own a Ford Hybrid and proud to be an American. The Ford Escape Hybrid is the beginning of Ford's future again.

Hi GaryG:
___I agree with you 100%. I do hope Ford can get the sales numbers up (50,000 + units for break even and 70,000 + for profitability) and soon as Ford really needs to profit on the FEH/MMH yesterday, not tomorrow
___Good Luck

Re: DRIVE IT LIKE A FORD
From my first Ford (a $25 '74 Maverick) to my most recent (and way too many in between to count), I have been a Ford man. I have never had bad luck with a Ford so I had no fears of buying the first model year Escape Hybrid.
I'm just glad it was Ford that came out with them. I would have been seriously torn if GM had a hybrid Blazer and I was on the outside looking in. Somehow I doubt GM would have got it as right as Ford did with the FEH.
Hope they keep it up.....

Hi Wolfman:
___Google 50,000, 70,000, Profits, Break Even, and Ford Escape Hybrid. I saw it 2 or 3 times about 3 or 4 months ago and saw it again just last week! Sorry I do not have a link this second.

About a year ago, when Ford introduced the Escape hybrid, I asked Steve Lyons about that; he's that company's head of North American sales. "At 50,000 units," he said, "we've got a business. At 70,000, we've got profits."

Re: DRIVE IT LIKE A FORD
My FEH is my first *New* Ford (only my 3rd new car). I am impressed with it and with Ford. I traded in a Civic Hybird for the FEH because I needed more room and if Ford continues to produce hybrids I will not likely switch away from Ford. I too hope to see the sales numbers rise, Bill Ford has said (in Fords latest magazine ad) that the plan is to produce 250,000 hybrids by 2007. Go for it Ford!!!

I was a Jeep guy for a while (AMC until 87 then MOPAR). I have had 4 (86 XJ, 87 YJ, 89XJ and an 98 TJ) but the last new one I bought (98) was such peice of junk and the Dealer was so bad they have lost me for life. In 2002 I bought my first new Ford (F-250 gas) and loved everything about it except for the fuel economy. Then I got the FEH (Thanksgiving 05) and all has been bliss since.
I'm a ford guy now....(although that Malibu MAXX is tempting me...at 6'6" I can sit in the back seat...I am shocked...).

Re: DRIVE IT LIKE A FORD
My family has always been a Ford one, since my Grandfather was a Ford employee, and a family friend was a used Ford dealer. My first vehicle was a used '95 Explorer, and this is my second vehicle, a wonderous '06 FEH, which is 6 months old as of Dec 1!
