Bottomline The 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid is very efficient, reasonably priced, and well equipped--all of which bodes well for the compact SUV and for Ford. If you appreciate luxury and complex engineering solutions, then you'll love the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid melds the automaker's proven, hybrid system into America's bread-and-butter sedan. What's not to like?
