Skip the hybrid Accord and just get a loaded EX.

The hybrid is the way to go, I have one and I love it. 255hp hybrid engine, I average around 34mpg so far, plus I am looking a nice little tax break from the clean fuel tax deduction laws. Trust me, go with the Accord Hybrid, you will be happy you did.

Yes, but consider how much extra you spent over the EX. Granted, with the gas prices rising you'll recoup your initial losses quicker, but it'll still take you many years and hundreds of thousands of miles.

Not saying that it's not a sweet car or anything though. Nothing like being able to do a burnout in front of a Greenpeace rally - "It's OK, folks, it's a Hybrid!"

I think the tax law has changed this year from a deduction to a credit. I don't remember if it's a 1K or 2K credit, but it almost erases the hybrid premium.

Also, would you consider an I4 accord VP? The cost is very low, ~17K invoice and will buy fuel for years. It doesn't meet your HP number, but I doubt drivability will suffer much from the other cars unless you are a hard driver.

Another option is an accord V6 LX, which invoices ~21K.
