I'm surprised the packs went, that's the first I've ever heard of it.

Sounds like Ford wanted to take a look at them too.

It seemed like the reported has a bias against SUVs. Either that, or they don't know what the purpose of a small SUV is.

Plus it was obvious they had no clue how to drive a hybrid.
