2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid Photo Gallery

Okay, I managed to park the 2007 Chevy Avalanche for a few minutes, and actually sit down and do some work -- so here's the 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid photo gallery that I promised to post.

I'd much rather have been out driving around in the copper-colored Avalanche, enjoying the high driving position, the leather seats and the funky half-truck/half-SUV ambiance. But no -- I've been sitting at the computer looking at photos of the boring, boxy Mariner. Why does economy always have to look so dull?

What do you think of the Mariner's looks?

Aaron Gold, About's Guide to Cars, cleverly dodges the whole issue of appearance, and focuses on technology and efficiency. You can read Aaron's review of the 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid.
