Mazda Tribute HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle)

the outside isn't as jazzed up, but they do have the best looking symbol. it's the cheapest of the three for the same car, but most likely because they didn't redesign the outside of the car much, just refine it's look.

its a ford exploder built by mazda, but i believe gets better mpg, and cheaper

SWEET!!

Thank you! What the major auto companies aren't willing to do the new upstarts like Phoenix Motorcars and Tesla will do - produce and sell zero emissions electric vehicles.

Like the car-- looks like the 2008 ford escape

Well said! Hybrid vehicles, at best, are just a token effort. The oil industry will never allow real electric vehicles, hence the scrapping of the EV1 and Chevron buying the rights to the nickel metal hydryde batteries so Toyota and Honda couldn't continue with their electic SUV's. Screw the oil companies! I'll keep experimenting with HHO units thanks.

No. Toyota gave Ford their Hybrid system, and Ford is using it in their Ford Escape, the Mercury Mariner, and the Mazda Tribute. They are all the same vehicles, just rebadged.

you mean ford stole it or borrowed it?

Get your facts straight. TRW held the original patents to the PowerSplit HEV confioguration in the mid 70's. Those patents have long since expired. Ford designed and engineered their own system. They hold over 400 patents on the technology. You dumb asses!

The big hero insults total strangers in the safety of anonymity. Pathetic.
