And I hate to have my first post in this forum be such an ignorant one, but - are there great differences in the technology or quality of technology between the Toyota and Honda hybrids? Or are there even significant differences at all?

My husband and I were going to get a Camry hybrid, but because of technology issues we now have to look for a different vehicle. We are now considering the Altima hybrid... and we are taking a STRONG second look at the Honda Civic hybrid. (My husband is 6'4" can can't fit in a Prius, but he does have the leg room he needs in a Civic.) (We don't want a 6 cylinder vehicle... so the Accord hybrid is out.)

I had a friend tell me that Toyota has "superior" hybrid technology to Honda - but I'm not finding anything online that supports this statment.
