    Hmm, old pricing even though the article came out last week.
    Must have even more options on a BC since $32K is 6K over a BC w/o taxes

    A good high level review and positive on both cars.

    "While Ford had to lease some of it's hybrid technology from Toyota..."

    I don't think they did. I believe they developed their own hybrid system. Toyota leased their THS II to Nissan for use int he 2007 Altima Hybrid

    I heard from someone who is usualy very informed about the truth of things that Ford created their own system.. but.. when they compaired it to Toyotas, they had to buy patten rights since some of fords equipment looked a lot like Toyotas. So.. they baught patten just to keep a dispute of ownership out of the question.
