[quote=Anonymous] Op here. Thanks for the input!  So the day after I posted this, I saw a billboard for a car show (large metro area) so dh, kids and I went on Sunday.

-Yes, the Chevy Volt is plug-in only now, and Chevy has no hybrids now.

-I saw the Mustang! Awesome but I'm still mommin' it and need 4 doors.

-The Toyota Corolla is a nice car. I liked that one a lot. And it's built in the USA. It also has American-style dash guages, which I prefer, and why I'm not crazy about the Prius.

-The Honda Insight was nice too, but I'm not crazy about the interior, too many buttons and binging for me.

-I particularly liked the Kia Niro. It actually comes in two flavors, a regular Hybrid and a plug-in plus driving hybrid. That one has a 26 mile range on the battery and then switches to regular hybrid. It's pretty clever really. I also liked that it was hatchback and sized similar to my HHR. And had American style dash guages.

-Subaru had a big fancy display complete with puppies to pet (not kidding) but didn't have their hybrid there because apparently it's only sold in special states???

-didn't look at Fords (dh has a thing about them for some reason and since he does a lot of maintenance on my car, I go along with that)

-to the PP who asked- So I commute about 70 miles RT, daily. I have a 5 and 16 yo who ride locally with me (not on the commute). I usually haul things like groceries, although I would love to be able to haul my 2 small kayaks (this is not a dealbreaker though). The features I like about my HHR is that it's a hatchback, and it's paid for LOL. I do not want to go much bigger or smaller.[/quote]
