The Honda hybrid is a nice car but the Prius fits our family better . . . my wife has back problems and the heigth of the Prius makes it easier for her to get in and out.
Here in Fla. They even had a case in 04' were the sales men would buy the car drive it & put 300-400 miles on it, then sell it on ebay or the autotrader as new/used make up some reason why they could not keep the car and still ask 20,000 for it... I have not heard of this with the hondas, ( but it may not be as publicized as toyota was).
My 04' Prius saved me $648.00 the first year of ownership in gas money..
I asked the wife if she would drive a civic hybrid next time we buy, I was surprised when she said she would rather have a hybrid camry or another prius as she has ridden in the civic and does not like it... oh well I tried..
I had also heard the rumor but it was not due to sales but rather they were slowing down production, to make way for the camry..
