My wife and I are considering giving our Explorer to our daughter this summer and purchasing an FEH for my wife. Although some people received discounts from MSRP, when we purchased our Camry Hybrid about five months ago they were going for MSRP. What kind of deal should we expect on an FEH? Also, any idea how close Ford is to hitting their 60,000 hybrid sale and having the federal tax crdit reduced?

Lastly, my wife only drives a little over three miles to and from work right now. Since our other car is a TCH which gets almost three times as much mileage as the Explorer we don't use the Explorer that much. I'm sure the FEH will get more use, but will be seeing a lot of 3 mile trips. Does the hybrid make sense or should we consider a small non-hybrid SUV with good mileage instead like the Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4?

Thanks...Marc
