Read in Motor Trend (I think) that an Escape Hybrid was coming. Does anyone know?

I think I remember hearing they didn't want to offer an Escape Hybrid because of the C-MAX Hybrid being available.
BUT the more hybrids you offer the better for CAFE. Still think they should offer one.

MKC will compete indirectly with the RX, and must offer hybrid to do so. Along with AWD Hybrid. Ford stated production of the MKC was to start Oct at the Louisville plant.
MKC is a class below the RX, MKX would compete with the RX

MKC is a direct competitor to the RDX and Q5, neither of which have a high mileage option. If the MKC DOES have a hybrid option it will be the first in its segment. Pricing will probably start around $35k. Lexus is also prepping its Rav4-based "NX" crossover and it may very well have a hybrid option as well.
