That question has been bothering me for a while. I like to road trip, and I tend to haul people. So I need something that can comfortablt fit four people, as well as (and here's a biggie) comfortably fit tall people. All the guys I know are about six foot four.

If I coulld easily overlook the outside, I'd go with the Accord, hands down. The inside is fantastic and spacious, but the outside is ugly.

The Camry is opposite the Accord. Outside looks okay, inside is ugly.

Prius and Insight just don't fit the people I need to haul.

And the Civic? Well, I hate Civics. All Civics. But it may just be the best compromise... except for the environmental issues.

For me? What would I end up choosing? I'm waiting =P I'll get a car in a year or more, when there are more options. Frankly, I think the steam-hybrid by BMW will be amazing, but since I can't just go buy a BMW and it won't be out for a long time, I think waiting a year is my way to go. My current car runs fine, and hybrids are such a big thing these days there will be a lot more coming out.

By next year hybrid cars will introduce:

Chevy Malibu Hybrid
Hyundai Accent Hybrid
Nissan Altima Hybrid
Lexus GS Hybrid
Honda Fit

And for people who like SUVs/ Trucks (bleh)

Chevy Tahoe Hybrid
Dodge Durango Hybrid
GMC Yukon Hybrid
Porsche Cayenne Hybrid
Saturn VUE Hybrid
Dodge Ram Hybrid
