		 I love the Ford Escape.  I rented one in Vancouver last summer.  beautiful,  easy to drive,  comfortable,  lots of space,  good mileage,  and nice styling.  It has a boxy look that a truck should have, not that designer/steroid small car trying to look like big truck look. 
 
I have looked at buying a hybrid,  but the are $5K more expensive,  and the loaded one already is 34K with the V6,  front wheel drive (i don't want four wheel drive). 
 
I don't think that over an ownership lifetime the 5K will be an econimc reason to purchase this machine.  maybe when prices drop more,  and are more in line with conventional vehicles.
