Not exactly an 86...

But we picked up a new ride. Well ok, it's for Michelle... The Focus, though only an 08 was getting long in the tooth for commuting, it had 165k on it. We got a good deal on this, it's American, and American made. of mastly US and Canadian parts at least. So we did our part to help the economy...

2012 Escape XLT 4WD, Color is Steel Blue. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic...

Very nice, I like the color. Should give you many years of trouble-free use, and good for driving in icy WV winters.

The current Escape (and Mercury Mariner) are companions to the Mazda Tribute.

Since FoMoCo has divested itself of 30% of Mazda, losing controlling interest (retained 3%), the next generation (2013) Escape is based off the 2012 Focus platform.
