I just saw last night during House. Real subtle, but a huge punch in Toyota's gut! I would "tell" it, but it's more effective to watch it. ;)

OK, I just saw it on NBC Nightly News. Not a bad commercial.

Ford seems to have adopted a much less aggressive tone to their commercials lately. They are letting the products speak for themselves in a quiet, almost reverend way. The subtle jab at Toyota and all the tree-hugging actors is priceless! Although you have to remember that Ford is using Toyota's hybrid technology on the Escape, Mercury Mariner and Mazda Tribute. ;)

They purchased an Escape for a Forester at work and it's not working out so well.  Just not made to go off-road.  When you use the defrost you loose like 10mpg.  Also they learned to park up hill because it does not like to go up-hill in reverse.
