im telling you right now, that youre completely wrong. my family owns both an escape and a liberty...basically, ill sum it up: the escape blows. crappy interior, its been in for recalls and has less than 24k on it, and it sucks off road-its not a real suv. granted, if youre looking for a car based suv, then the liberty may not be your first choice. but im telling you right now that the liberty is just in a completely diferent class compared to the escape- it is unbelieveably much better made and much more solid.

you do have a point though...i think the hybrid escape is going to be cool...



I tried out a used Escape awhile back...very dissapointed in the twitchy steering and touchy accelerator of the one I drove.

When my Mystique was in the body shop I rented a Liberty. Also dissapointed in the handling.

The Escape Hybrid would be a good idea but I want more than the 1000 lb towing capacity.

I guess my Cherokee is safe from replacement for a while.
