I can't exactly confirm that for you, so I'll carefully choose my words. The reason some vehicles have the full center console is more storage space. And sportier type of pretencious depending on some peoples view points. The current Escape/Tribute have been critisized for having it's column mounted shifter block some controls from the radio. So this justifies that, AND being able to have more storage space.   Curiously, NOT having a full center console, appeals to majority of women. It's mainly the place where they prop their purse. Which is minivan plus and well noted.   But being I do not have that exact answer for you at this time, I would give you an educated guess and tell you that maybe this full center console will be standard on the higher trim levels. For cost saving concerns, I do not think it would be wise of them to offer it across all trim levels. But thats just an edcauted case. When I'm able to confirm it for you, and remember it, I'll post at that time.

jqueen, The floor shifter will not be available in the 2004 Escape according to the new order guides. I think the only big thing that changed is the deletion of the yellow copies.   I read somewhere that the Hybrid and the Mariner will have the floor shifter, not the current Escape.

Where I live in NJ auto theft is an increasing problem . In view of the wide spread theft of the new high intensity headlights in our state, I was wondering how easily/hard it would be to steal the battery on the hybrid?

Just a bit harder than stealing the engine of a car. It's a restricted area, and requires alot of work to get to, to just pull it out.   Aside from that, what need would someone have with a battery system that can't regenerate itself, unless it has the other components involved ?

A journalist is looking for a person who is in the market to buy a hybrid vehicle. If you care to be interviewed, please respond with your daytime contact information to jfallonedmunds.com by Friday, July 11.
#26 of 1583 A rumor... by gelijelly Jul 09, 2003 (8:55 pm)
A couple of days ago I test drove a new Escape and I mentioned to the salesman that I was very interested in the Hybrid. He told me that Ford was thinking of pulling it because it was not doing well in fleet sales at all. Just something he mentioned, he didn't seem sure about it though.

You mean the Escape Hybrid? I don't see that as possible considering they haven't been introduced into the market yet. This fall, it'll go to fleet sales first, THEN beginning of next year, to regular customers.

Anyone have color swatches on the Hybrid? I would really like to see an Escape Hybrid other than the one they showed at the New York International Car Show.
#29 of 1583 No Escape Hybrids yet by carguydc Sep 12, 2003 (12:47 pm)
so there are none with fleets. I think the sales consultant was mistaken.   The Ford website says available "late summer 2004"   Go to www.fordvehicles.com/escapehybrid
#30 of 1583 They pushed the date back again...... by jchan2 Sep 12, 2003 (12:50 pm)
that's what Ford always does. (The General and Chrysler; for that matter.)
