[The Truth About Cars] What’s stopping Hyundai is the 25% import tariff on foreign built pick-ups; a rebadge would enable Hyundai to see is there is enough interest in a Hyundai truck-line (much like what Honda did w/ the Passport) in the US and whether it is worth it for Hyundai to invest in a manufacturing plant for pick-ups down the road.

[Autoblog] Review: 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid makes being green easy ” Autoblog: The Escape is like a good mullett on the inside, with the tactile-but-hard plastics on the dash representing the "business up front" and the comfy seats and excellent Ford infotainment navigation representing the "party in the back." Don't get us wrong, the Escape Hybrid's interior is a fine place in which to while away the hours, but we expect higher grade materials in a $37,535 crossover (Note: The 2010 Escape Hybrid starts at $29,860 before destination charges).

[Leftlane - news, reviews, and info for the auto-industry] April 2010 U.S. new car sales: Strength nearly across the boards: The Focus just barely outsold the Cobalt, the Taurus was murdered by the Impala, the Lincoln rebadge of the Taurus was down again, the Lincoln rebadge of the Flex sold horribly, the Accord and Camry murdered the Fusion (so much for Ford picking up sales from Toyota”¦), and the Sonata nearly outsold it as well. Rightfully so, the Camaro blasted the Rustang out of the water, the ONLY Lincoln vehicles that saw an increase in sales were the ones with real names, and the Grand Marquis was Mercurys best selling model.
