After an American car company
recreates its legendary
1960's Ferrari-beating race car, the first $150,000 2005 production car
sells at a charity event for $400,000 over sticker price, (to a
Microsoft-enriched individual, of course) and many months later, dealers are still asking up to
$200,000 over sticker, or at least
$150,000 over sticker. The "experts" at Edmunds say the car is selling for
about $100,000 over sticker (seeing their "True Market Value" requires a few clicks from this page), and the widespread belief is that these
admittedly amazing cars are virtually impossible to find and all selling for at least $100,000 over sticker.
But using publicly available data, including completed eBay auctions and
public documents, this
non-commercial site shows the truth to be very different than the hype.

Ford will sell hybrid Escape at a loss. In order to get technology out to the public, and get feedback from customers, Ford is going to release it's hybrid version of the Escape SUV, and take a loss with it.
With today's economy, who knows what that will mean in the end for an already struggling Ford.

As the biggest, burliest SUV sold in the United States -- nearly 19 feet long and weighing about 7,200 pounds -- the
Excursion was attacked by social critics who accused Ford of environmental irresponsibility. I for one,
will not miss it.
