You said it right: "hybridology is not the issue"!! I just cannot make a decision which is the best vehicle in my situation. Honda's hybrid system is proven and reliable...Ford's is new and untested. There were repeated delays and postponement in getting the Ford Hybrid trouoble free enough to start production. Darn it....I cannot decide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In that regard, you are getting MUCH MORE MATURE technology with the Civic - Honda has three years now of U.S. success and I believe they tested the technology in Japan beforehand....And buying the Excape Hybrid means a "first run/first year" model, which even without the Hybrid technology is sometimes not a good idea.

And let's be honest - Honda has a much better reputation for making quality cars than Ford.....
