Hybrids in the news…

Our message: Ford Motor Company is committed to taking hybrid vehicles to the mainstream and will sell 250,000 hybrids by 2010. Making them affordable and competitive with other choices in the showroom is one step in that direction.
Escape Hybrid and Mariner Hybrid qualify for a federal tax credit worth $1,950 to $2,600. 35 states have proposed or approved state tax incentives for hybrid vehicles; 11 states have proposed or approved HOV lane access for hybrids.
"It's easy to show consumers how hybrids save them money at the pump. Now it's easy to show them how much they can save at tax time too," said Al Giombetti, president, Ford and Lincoln Mercury marketing and sales.
We also rolled out a national incentive providing buyers with 0 percent financing for 60 month loans on Escape Hybrid.
