Re: Civic Hybrid - anybody have one?
I also live in PA, I paid about $23K for mine in June '02. This was
including floor mats, mud flaps, etc. Some extras.
This Hybrid is the finest car I ever had, and I've had a few. Technically, I
like the new Prius, but it's styling is too much, and it seems gimmicky to
me. Otherwise, Toyota seems on the right track with larger DC traction motor
and higher voltage. Their electric drive A/C seems like a great idea.

Re: Civic Hybrid - anybody have one?
I got mine in Arlington, TX for 20,060, out the door.
I do like it, my wife drives it and she loves it, the "Dallas Autobahn" is
no place to drive it though...

Re: Civic Hybrid - anybody have one?
I got mine in Arlington, TX for 20,060, out the door.
I do like it, my wife drives it and she loves it, the "Dallas Autobahn" is
