For my money, I'd get the Tribute since it has more features than the Escape. The only sorepoint in the Tribute is the smallish wheels & tires and bland looking interior trim.

The new Escape & Tribute might be out within this year - I'm guessing around 3Q or 4Q.

2007 Escape is out last Dec 29. Saw it in 1 of the dealers. You are right on the interior trim of the new Escape, nice center/floor console.
Mazda has 16" wheels.

So available na pala ang upgraded Escape sa dealers ha at nasa 1.143M lang sya(2.3 Liter 2WD version)..I think Escape nalang ang kunin mo or better yet wait mo nalang yung new gen Everest.

i'd get the tribute too.
yun nga lang, i am sure, mas malakas fuel consumption nyan compared to the escape.

If you don't mind the fuel consumption, the 3 liter Tribute is a nice vehicle.

eto na ba yun parang ford explorer ang harapan. 1.143M pala mahal hehehe

Tribute, if you're ok with the 5km/L or less fuel consumption. The wheels are indeed smallish and the interior rather bland, but then the P44K you've saved can help start you off with some nice wheels, well, at least pay for a part of the wheels and tires. Or you could use the money saved for a nice HU and/or LCD monitor. Or you could keep it all stock and save the P44K to pay for your gas bills. Is the 2.3L engine that much less thirsty?
