Two More Ford Hybrid Cars
The hybrid vehicle revolution is just beginning.
While Toyota is the leader in hybrid cars, Ford appears to be ramping up to meet this new market demand.
The Ford Escape Hybrid is Ford's only hybrid, but not for long. Ford has already pushed the release of it's newest hybrid SUV, the Mercury Mariner hybrid, up one year.
Additionally, Ford recently announced the addition of the Ford Fusion Hybrid, and the Mercury Milan Hybrid, and now you can add two more. Ford will also be producing a Freestyle Hybrid and a Five Hundred Hybrid. Thus, Ford hopes to have 6 hybrids on the market within three years.
The more compelling thing about Ford, unlike GM, is its commitment to hybrid cars, rather than just hybrid SUVs.
While Ford is the undisputed leader of hybrid SUVs - it's the only one on the market - this space of the hybrid market will be heating up quickly.
Later this year, Ford will have two hybrid SUVs on the market, the Escape hybrid and the Mariner hybrid. Within three years, a hybrid powertrain will also be added to the Freestyle.
Additionally, Toyota will also have two hybrid SUVs on the market this year. The Lexus RX 400h Hybrid and the Toyota Highlander Hybrid will be out in April and June, respectively.
By 2007 GM, will have the GMC Yukon Hybrid and the Chevy Tahoe Hybrid.
Honda, on the other hand, has been committed to hybrid cars, such as the Accord hybrid, but don't be surprised to see a Honda hybrid truck or SUV in the near future.
Competition in the hybrid SUV market is good for all hybrids and hybrid consumers. More important, it's good to see one American auto-maker taking the challenge seriously, and not just with trucks and SUVs, but sedans as well.

More people should learn about electric vehicles as a solution. "Zero emissions" is something that's going to be required by law one day (you know it will). Making the decision to go electric is far cheaper anyway, like 10 cents on the dollar vs. gas. (source: zapworld.com)
