Ford's hybrid Escape and Mariner sales up 132 percent

There's a lot of ways to say you've sold about three thousand hybrid cars, but yesterday Ford decided to go with "hybrid sales up 132 percent" over a year ago. The total vehicles sold of Ford's Escape and Mariner hybrid models totaled only 2,862 vehicles, but since that's a bit more than the company sold last year, they've got some right to promote that fact. The hybrid numbers are hidden in Ford's press release announcing increased sales amounts for the Fusion, Focus and Mustang and lower sales numbers for some of Ford's trucks and SUVs, like the Explorer and Expedition. Seems like customer demand is for greener cars.
