Does this still use Synergy Drive, or has Ford begun releasing their own?

I wish they would come out with a V6 hybrid like the highlander. It gets 32 city, 27 highway and can pull 3500 pounds. Maybe a hybrid explorer?

Great domestic hybrid, unlike the lame Saturn attempts at faux-hybrids. If I still purchased American cars, this (or its Mercury twin) would be the one. Al Gore rolled up to the Global (Warming) Climate Change hearings in a black Mariner hybrid. Too cool.
