There's seems to be little doubt that Toyota's system delivers better FE in stop & go, and it also seems the consensus that Honda's system provides more help during hwy. My decission would certainly be affected by my driving patterns.

However, Toyota had nothing to compete with the Accord (as far a appointments) at the time I bought. This will obviously change over time. Will it affect my next car? Don't know. I am a Honda guy, as is evident by my signature. There is nothing else I've found that feels like a Honda.
