Bagg,2006 as a 2007 model...as well as it's Mercury twin. They are hoping Sanyo relocates enough battery packs to allow for higher sales of Hybrids.

Yes it'll be smaller than the 500, but competitively huge where it counts in the inside.
The next Escape will be loosely based on a Focus C1 platform... As will the Tribute, Mariner, and LR Freelander.
The Mazda6 derived SUV that Ford will debut, comes out in 2006-07. Essentially it'll be a FWD/AWD Explorer sized unibody SUV, such as a Pilot/Highlander for example.

To answer the questions about the futura lets start. The futura has been renamed by ford to the Ford Fusion. It will be placed between the Five Hundred and Focus. Its a midsize car based off the 6 platform with the 427 styling( I suggest you look at the 427 concept car).Its emissions will meet Tier 2 Bin 5 and ULEV
Engines: 3.0L Duratec, 3.5L Duratec
Transmission: CVT, 6-speed auto
Drives: AWD, 4WD, FWD
Interior- its designed to be more luxurious and family friendly than the Mazda 6.
Pricing (approx. from people at ford ive talked to): 18K-24K.
Competition: Camry, Accord, C-Class cars.

That 427 is just plain awesome - if the Fusion resembles it strongly, they may have a real winner there.#684 of 1615 Re: [ateixeira] by f111d

OOPS! I was trying to correct KNOW to KNOWN and ended up in a forum I never seen before. Diesel forum. Now if I can just figure out how to get back there? Anyhow I'll type this again that didn't show up. If anyone knows of any web sites related to Three phase generation, inverters/etc that might be applied to Automotive hybrids appreciate an e-mail. Thanks again.
Paul
To the Host I'll go back to the home page and go from there.
#688 of 1615 Will the Escape Hybrid Handle Better & Safer? by gmginsfo
Aug 17, 2004 (2:51 pm)
I'm certainly not going to buy one first year out, but in light of the Escape's mediocre NHTSA ratings, I'm wondering if the lower center of gravity presumably provided by the batteries in the Hybrid will make it handle any better? Will crash-avoidance manuverability be affected? Any thoughts?#689 of 1615 seats? by rhouser2
