I think the best test might be to put them in taxi service with Ford Escapes. That might provide a head-to-head test IF the payload capabilities are close enough.

BTW, I recently saw a posting for a Camry hybrid taxi. THAT would be an awsome service. Next year they start making or assembling them in Kentucky?
