HYBRID VEHICLES (56A. Cars suggested by 20-, 26- and 48-Across?), SUBURBAN MALIBU (20A. Residential area of California [think Chevy]); MUSTANG ESCAPE (26A. Start of a stampede, maybe [think Ford]) and ACCORD ELEMENT (48A. Part of a peace treaty [think Honda]) are the interrelated group of this Tuesday crossword.
A few more links -- MOBILE HOME; SEA COWS; MULLAH; EL CID; MACON; ROHAN; SOLTI.
