    You did know the Mazda Tribute and the Ford Escape are the same vehicle didn't you? This is the FEH in Mazda trim. It's been coming (promised) for two years now. You can also get the same vehicle in "luxury finish" as the Mercury Mariner.
    If I recall correctly, the next Motorweek episode will be testing it.

    Is the reviewer correct in describing the transmission as a conventional CVT, or is it Toyota's e-CVT solution (I thought Ford/Mazda had licenced Toyota's technology) ?

    Too Bad FORD ended up buying Mazda. Its just an Escape Hybrid in a different shell.(Just like the mercury Mariner Hybrid) I really hope ford can make more reliable cars.

    According to Mazda customer service, Ford is only building 250 Mazda Tribute Hybrids in 2008. They will all be sold in California.
