If they really do get rid of the C-Max, I would hope they at least come out with a hybrid version of the Ford Escape, as a "replacement." 

I'd love that, but I doubt it. The platform is too high, and they are selling well without the hybrid option. Why should Ford complicate their assembly line for a vehicle that will get lower 30's EPA at best?

 

I don't know, maybe since Toyota has brought out a hybrid for the Rav4, Ford might consider it.

I do miss our AWD Aerostar extended van, it got 20 mpg, plenty of room and the seats would lay flat. ;)

And I still miss my '68 LTD Country Squire wagon.  With a spring lift kit, it had more ground clearance than some of today's SUV's.  It seated 10 (yes, with 10 seat belts from the factory.)  The tailgate opened to the side or down.  The seats folded flat, and it could load a 30-inch high table or a stack of 4 x 8 plywood lying flat. 

 

Most fun of all:  It had the high compression 390 CID V8 !

 

But mpg?  F'getaboutit !!
