		<description>Apple has updated a number of their desktop products today while introducing two entirely new accessories. New Intel processors and updated graphics cards have been added to the all-in-one iMac computer, which now start at $1,299 CND. Aimed at hard core desktop users, the Mac Pro has new components offering 50% more performance with 12 processing cores and starts at $2,599 CND, and the LED Cinema Display is now available in a larger 27&quot; size, offering a 2560 x 1440 resolution at $999. But perhaps the more curious announcements today are the introduction of two new accessories; a battery charger and large track pad.

		<description>Thanks for the great review on the Ford Escape.  It certainly gets good mileage for it&#039;s size and has a lot of creature comforts.  It may look manly, but I&#039;ve only seen it from the front, and the side, but it seemed that it suited you well since you were sitting up at a good level.  It&#039;s good that you mentioned the lumbar support since that&#039;s an essential detail for a vehicle.</description>

		<description>Thanks for taking time to write about your experience and for being willing  to check out a new Ford, Rachel.

The speakerphone &amp; steering wheel radio controls are all part of Ford&#039;s SYNC system that allow you to use phone &amp; mp3 devices hands-free. There&#039;s so much potential with that system it&#039;s not funny.

Thanks for your feedback about the seats - while the soy-based seats are pretty comfy, it&#039;s important to know about things like lumbar support (which frankly, I&#039;m surprised about - I know a number of our other vehicles have lumbar support). I&#039;ll make sure the team knows about it.

As to the brakes, I&#039;m not sure if that&#039;s typical or not. I can tell you that the newest hybrids have regenerative brakes - 94% of the energy from braking gets recycled into the engine. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Either way, your honest and candid feedback was welcome. I&#039;m glad you had the opportunity to spend some quality time in the Escape.
