So my CX-5 GS non AWD (sport AT in the US I guess) is 3 weeks old and I'm loving the fact my L/100KM / MPG is killing my old Nissan Altima's, but I just saw the Escape commercial claiming best in class highway MPG with ecoboost. Is this creative advertising or could it be true? No mention of trim level or what the rated vs actual tested MPG numbers were. But it got me curious.
Also I can see a fatal flaw in their foot proximity technology. Most people by nature are uncoordinated and don't pay attention. A open foot due to flip flops or sandals can really get cooked on a hot tail pipe while trying to open that hatch.

When we first saw the car at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, we were intriguedthis was a thoroughly modern-looking crossover that has a whole host of bells-and whistles, from a trick Curve Control system to a rear-hatch that opens with a swipe of your foot below the rear bumper. Thats all surface and PR speak, though. We wanted to drive it for ourselves.
