I want to see a hybrid truck. That would be cool. And something not made in Japan, that would be cooler.

Chevy or GMC has a Silverado hybrid out, but its not that much more fuel efficient. Likewise, there is a Ford escape SUV hybrid out thats not bad.

I'm definitely not a hybrid kind of guy but i really like the accord. Everything i've read about it to date has been good, and it has more power than a regular v6 accord.

Thanks Ironduke, I've been actively searching for a hybrid car for some time. That Toyota Prius seems to fit the bill. I'm a little curious about its 110 horsepower combined engine though, is it sufficient enough to climb hills?
