Pragmatic idea:
If you want to buy a hybrid while avoiding the wrath of anti-ecology Creatard vandals, look at the 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid; a very decent car that gets 40+ MPG with 191 total God-fearing horses.
However, Ford uses Toyota's hybrid drive system with a "weak" Atkinson cycle engine, etc. It also has leaf emblem on the trunk badge, which might anger some selfish far-Right sack of garbage. But that's a good thing. Let them perish from high blood pressure at the thought of people actually respecting natural limits and conserving fuel.
