Good story but sad. I still buy American vehicles whenever I can. My next new vehicle will be a Ford Escape Hybrid 34mpg.vs around 20-28 for a Honda CRV. That's one place the Japanese have not beat the Americans. Ford has the only Hybrid SUV, but I'm sure that will change in the near future. What I can't figure is people still buying 10 mpg Hummers, Excursions, Escalades and Landcruisers with gas at $3.00 per gallon???
