The only reason I brought up those two was because they seemed so similar but for some reason one seems far more popular than the other.
The Fusion Hybrid, by the accounts I've read, seems to be a pretty decent car, as far as a hybrid goes. The same for the Civic Hybrid, even the Malibu (although it's a different set up IIRC). They just don't scream "Look how green I am" as loudly as the Prius, though.
IF I were to buy one I'd probably go for the Fusion.
A diesel hybrid minivan, OTOH, I would be more likely to consider. I think the hybrid technology, which I'm not completely sold on, would be better suited to larger vehicles that could really benefit fuel mileage-wise. The capacity for battery packs is much larger, too.
