You might not remember, but Ford builds a couple hybrid SUVs. They're the forgotten stepchildren of the hybrid world despite the fact that they're both practical and quite fuel efficient.
Apparently a few enlightened souls have figured this out as 100,000 of them have rolled off Ford's Kansas City assembly line. Sales of the Escape Hybrid were up 55% in February compared to the month before, so Ford must be doing something right.

So, wait. Ford would smite you for calling it an SUV instead of a crossover, but today they're ok with it?

Nice to see. The Escape Hybrid is about as large a vehicle as most people need....they just don't realize it.

And the Smart is the fastest vehicle most people need. Hard to convince them of it though.
