Toyota Highlander
 
I find it interesting that the author is able to rate this car 4.5/5 with a tiny review like this. Has he even seen the car?:omg:

Here's a sneak peek at the Toyota (TM ) Highlander Hybrid coming in June. Think of it as a dressed-down version of the Lexus RX 400h, the luxe sport-ute Toyota introduced in April. The good news is that, unlike with the Lexus, which comes with every imaginable amenity already built-in and priced to match, you'll be able to skip options you don't want, such as a moon roof or full-time four-wheel drive.

No matter how it's outfitted, you'll still pay $7,000 more than for a Highlander without the hybrid power train. The hybrid system commands $4,700 of the premium; the rest comes from standard equipment you have to pay extra for in conventionally powered Highlanders, such as alloy wheels and eight-way power controls on the driver's seat. Most important: standard side air bags and side curtains that protect against head injuries in rollovers, which cost $680 extra in the nonhybrid Highlander.
