I know there will be many people to say it's just a rebadged Escape, but this little SUV is awesome. It looks classy as heck in black, and it came loaded with stuff right out of gates. I am really impressed too with the added 87 lbs. of insulation and sound deadening material. I will post picks soon.

 

Good Stuff!

That was my Fiancee's second choice behind the 500. The Mariners are quite a bit nicer than the Escapes. Posts some pictures when you have a chance.

 

I looked at one too. There are some nice worthwhile differences in the Mariner, styling is better too. I think their Hybred is coming out next year????

 

Yeah, my Dad is thinking about the Hybrid Mariner to replace his Escape. I will post some pictures soon. It is very nice looking.

 

The Mariner is a very nice upgraded Escape - If I do not get a Mustang this spring the Mariner is my #2 to replace my existing Escape... Escape-Central.com is a good resource for Escape/Tribute/Mariners
