> I've been told that Ford/Lincoln is using licensed Toyota drivetrain technology too. I heard that too but couldn't find a recent source that they still did when I researched that a little more than a year ago. From what I remember, they're using something simpler now; one axle is gas and one is electric and it'll just switch between the two automatically. I have the Corsair and it's great. If you're careful about putting it in EV mode every time you start the car (it defaults to hybrid) and charge at home, it doesn't use any gas for daily stuff that's within range. Edit: This may be different for the Escape. The PHEV Escape seems to be front wheel drive while the Corsair is all wheel drive.
