I look forward to potentially seeing another Ford Escape Hybrid on our travels around Texas to various parks. We have a loaded '06 FWD model (color-keyed bumpers, sunroof, Nav, etc.) in Redfire Metallic. She's lovely! I originally had my eye on the Sonic Blue but I later decided that color looks best on sports cars, like my brother's '05 Mustang. That, and I couldn't find a single Sonic Blue anywhere within a reasonable driving distance!
