That's because the latter can't seem to deliver a fuel efficent vehicle,

btw - I believe the Escape hybrid technology is from Toyota.

Yeah, pretty much. They got on the Escape waiting list and for two years
or so all they got was an occasional glossy newsletter showing them what
their vehicle would look like, etc. In the meantime, they tired of waiting,
got on the Prius waiting list and took delivery of the Prius first. When
the Escape became available, they bought it too. Now they have two hybrids.
