The 2013 Ford Escape is now a production reality, the completely redesigned crossover now rolling off the lines at Ford's Louisville assembly plant. Still a top seller (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/05/these-are-your-top-10-best-selling-vehicles-for-2011/) in its last model year, the brand-new 1.6-liter EcoBoost Escape gets 22 mpg city, 33 mpg highway (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/27/2013-ford-escape-1-6l-ecoboost-officially-rated-at-23-33-mpg/) and yes, the $23,295 base model does get pricey very quickly when you start ticking the reams of options boxes. Nevertheless, the Escape surpassed the 8,000-orders (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/16/ford-says-it-already-has-8-000-orders-for-new-escape/) mark before any customer had even driven it.
Its looks have found some detractors, but we have a feeling that it won't have any problem finding new homes. Scroll down (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/06/14/ford-kicks-off-2013-escape-assembly-w-video/#continued) for a video of plant workers talking about production processes, and a press release on what the Escape's production has meant to the area.Continue reading Ford kicks off 2013 Escape assembly [w/video] (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/14/ford-kicks-off-2013-escape-assembly-w-video/)
