great SUV--why isn't ford marketing these harder?
25,000 miles now on our hybrid (late 08 model) terrific in snow, great mileage in warm weather (30-32) worse in the cold (26-28) but still very good for a SUV drives nicely and can fit alot of stuff in it no problems at all, only oil changes needed interior styling is not great, exterior styling ditto Fix this and this could be a national best seller

Impressive Technology
I've had this '09 Exscape Hybrid for almost 5,000 miles and the gas mileage got better, as Ford stated in it's owners manual. Surprise! I average 33 mpg city/highway. The 4 cyl hybrid engine has better than expected acceleration (as good as most v-6s) and is smooth and seemless, switching between battery and gasoline engine modes. There is more to this hybrid technilogy that is worth looking into. Ford would be wise to bring this info to the public.
