I really like the new models, glad to see they got a stability assist program now, would have been nice on my 06. oh well. My dealer salesman says the new electric power steering is a big improvement as well, good move for fuel economy and power IMO.
Did they make any changes to the transmission ?, anyone know ?.
congrats on the truck.

Saw some 08's at the local dealer today.
They are MUCH nicer in person then I expected them to be. A loaded Hybrid was parked next to a loaded Edge. The wife and I both liked the Escape better, interior of the escape is very nicely done.
They have a nice SUV look, they have lost the cute ute look.
Now we have to go drive one, This may be what replaces her old Explorer.

I noticed that in building one on the Ford site, that many of the options that automatically came with the XLT package has to be paid for on the 2008. So they are basically juggling figures with the consumer. It's still a good buy regardless.

Do you notice any improvements in road noise and especially wind noise? What year was your previous Escape?
I wonder when Ford is going to start advertising the existence of the new Escape. They seem to be keeping it a secret!!

dealing on an 08 hybrid
A new brochure for the 2008 Escape is out. Any body trying to deal on a 08 hybrid? Wonder if the dealers will do any dealing, also if there will be any promotion sale in the next few months?
