Ford has had a hybrid SUV, but it never has done very well sales wise for a variety of reasons.
US Today and Car and Driver magazine both gave it top marks against domestic & foreign hybrids, including the Pirus.
US Today got to where the rubber meets the road, “OK, let’s just get it out there: The 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid is the best gasoline-electric hybrid yet. What makes it best is a top-drawer blend of an already very good midsize sedan with the industry’s smoothest, best-integrated gas-electric power system. It’s so well-done that you have to look to the $107,000Lexus LS 600h hybrid to come close.” Bottom line, it just drives better than the Pirus. Car and Driver says it’s “fun to drive.”
Kudos to Ford!
