The New Hybrids
Don Stauffer in Minneapolis 14 March 2005 18:37:14
	The local Auto Show features several new hybrids. However, they seem to be hybrids almost in name only. One has a big 250 hp V6, and a dinky little 18 hp electric. A good indication that they don't "get it" is that it gets better milage on highway than in town, opposite a good hybrid like the Prius. I get the feeling these cars are hybrids only as a marketing feature, to help folks who want a little bit of green be attracted to them. It is not just Detroit. Several of these pseudo-hybrids are from Japan.

Several of these pseudo-hybrids are from Japan. I can't comment on any hybrid except the Ford Escape Hybrid. AND, this is not a plug or a bash for it as only time will tell if they are here to stay or a flash-in-the-pan gimmick. However, it has an EPA rating of higher mileage in the city versus the highway. BTW, a "domestic" hybrid will have a large percentage of parts made in Japan. Post some specifics........

What I know about the Escape Hybrid is that Ford's in-house hybrid effort was going nowhere, so they bought the technology from Toyota. Of course Toyota bought a company with the proper expertise......
