Replying to: rsholland (Jul 25, 2008 7:46 am) Good news for Suzuki, which outside of the SX4, seems to be fading fast here in America.

Replying to: rsholland (Jul 25, 2008 7:46 am) The engine should be a nice upgrade. I test drove the old V6 and it was neither quick nor smooth.   Escape now gets the 2.3l, right? Is it the PZEV 2.3l that used to go in the Focus? Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Jul 30, 2008 2:01 pm) ateixeira (Jul 31, 2008 5:57 am) explorerx4 (Aug 01, 2008 3:32 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jul 30, 2008 2:01 pm) 2.5l, cool, I stand corrected.   I just got back from Brazil, and there they sell a Ford EcoSport, a tiny little crossover based on the Fiesta. It looks like an Escape that was left in the dryer too long and shrunk!   Found a pic:   Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Aug 01, 2008 3:32 pm) ateixeira (Aug 04, 2008 6:06 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 31, 2008 5:57 am) i can't tell the scale, but from the windshiled back, it sure looks like an escape! Replies to this message: ateixeira (Aug 04, 2008 6:06 am)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Aug 01, 2008 3:32 pm) They're pretty tiny, think Suzuki SX4 sized, only taller.   It's like...   Honey, I Shrunk the Escape!

Replying to: mellou1 (Sep 25, 2008 9:04 pm) What is the loan balance and the residual value? Ask in the Real-world trade-in values thread to find out what you could get for your Vue.   If you are upside down, I would wait, if possible.   Consider keeping the Vue and getting a beater truck, used. Values have plunged with the high gas prices. Replies to this message: mellou1 (Sep 26, 2008 8:48 pm)
