I live in NW PA and I am looking at the Ford Escape AWD Hybrid and the Saturn Vue FWD. They are pretty close in price and capabilities, except the AWD vs. FWD (which is a concern given our 100+ inches of snow each year. I know the SUV hybrid is not the preferred route, but I am in sales and have to haul boxes pretty often. I drive 70% in the city and suburbs, mostly 10-20 minute trips.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.
