Cool! 40MPG Ford Escape!

I read it about it in the latest Time. It's a hybrid 4-cylinder/electric motor that runs off batteries. The batteries are charged by braking and the engine. At idle (when most emissions are produced) the engine actually shuts off. Then, when you start moving, the engine takes over from the electric motor. Coming out in '03.

I wouldn't buy a Toyota Prius, but I might buy an Escape!
 
Cool! I'm curious to see what sort of wheels this thing has. Hopefully they won't put on a 14" inch set of donuts on the thing to aid the regenerative breaking.

But, I'm guessing they will because a 16" truck tire is pretty friction friendly 🙂
