my wife is looking at the hybrids (wish we could two! but hey one is nice) and has narrowed it down to the escape and the camry. since we live in utah and she skis, the escape with AWD looks tempting, but then the milage and emissions is much better on the camry.

anyway, one question and general opinions wanted: i heard that ford bought their hybrid tech from toyota and that it is a few generations older. is this true, and what differences could that make to the cars in question.

opinions: any owners of either have some thoughts on why i should get one over the other?
