Competition about to heat up for the Ford Escape hybrid

This year's Truck of the Year at the Detroit autoshow and the first ever SUV to be one of the greenest vehicles in the United States, the Ford Escape hybrid has had a pretty good run.

A bit on the spendy side, the Escape hybrid is; however, my favorite SUV.

Of course, since I would only consider a hybrid SUV as a purchase, it is my only choice. That is all about to change, and the Hybrid SUV segment is about to get interesting.

The Toyota Highlander hybrid and the Lexus RX400h hybrid will be in showrooms soon, oh boy!
