Rear-seat cushions are firmer than those in front, but Nissan's decision not to include a third-row seat in the Murano is a boon for rear-seat passengers, who enjoy tons of legroom. Even with the front seats all the way back in their tracks, a 5-foot 7-inch staffer could still fit just fine in back.
Ford Escape Hybrid
The 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid is now available in Limited guise, a trim created by grouping together several of last year's optional packages in an effort to satisfy shoppers who'd rather not go without leather upholstery, a sunroof, heated seats or a CD changer. However, doing so comes at a price. Our Escape Hybrid Limited AWD tester hit the register at nearly $36 large, which is pretty big coin for a compact SUV. If you're willing to martyr yourself in the quest to be environmentally responsible by going without the Limited goodies, a base Escape Hybrid with front-wheel drive lists for $29,000. With the sizable federal tax credits available on all Escape Hybrids ($3,000 for the FWD and $2,200 for the AWD), the price tag drops even further.
News Tikva Davaran : Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCrew
Function
Even if you load up your F-150 with options, the controls remain fairly straightforward and intuitive. The truck offers both USB and standard audio jacks, and Ford has installed more storage compartments for things like key cards and cell phones. The center console box is larger and can stow two laptops within, while the flat rear floor and flip-up rear seats allow seriously large items to be carried inside the truck's cabin. The Ford guys demonstrated this by putting a 52-inch flat-panel TV box inside the rear compartment of the F-150; none of the truck's competitors were able to accommodate this box.
Dodge Dakota
Design/Fit and Finish
Interior design is also pretty industrial, but at least the exterior has that brawny Dodge appearance that gives the Dakota arguably the butchest look in its class. That's gotta count for something, right?
