If they weren't such terrible looking cars I would think about owning one (sorry if there are any Prius owners here).

You don't have to get a Prius. There are hybrid Civics, Accords, Camrys, Altimas, Malibus, Impalas, Sebrings from the sedan category. Or you could get a Highlander or Escape SUV.

Hybrid doesn't have to be ugly anymore.

I think Honda got rid of the hybrid Accord, but still sells hybrid Civics.

I guess that's why they put it at the bottom of the list and wrote "Discntd." next to it. :oops:

The Accord Hybrid didn't have significantly better fuel economy than its gas counterpart. It was more about using the batteries to get some extra oomph while getting about the same gas mileage (perhaps a bit better). In any case, other hybrids blew it out of the water in the area where hybrids are supposed to excel, so I'm not exactly sure what Honda was thinking.

I think gas here is about $3.07.
