OK I'll bite

Unless you need the slightly larger size of the toy and the higher towing rating then the better fuel economy of the FEH makes more sense. You also may qualify for the tax break too which will lower your initial cost some.

IMO the biggest reason to buy the FEH or MMH is that you will be supporting good old Americans and in these days we ALL need to do more IMO. You will also be using a little less oil which is mostly imported so you will be supporting those who dislike a bit less also. Better fuel economy means LOWER emissions too.

Often these things are over looked and yet IMO they are very important.

Most feel that the FEH MMH are about the best built hybrid SUV's available. They have been tested in taxi fleets in San Fransisco and New York and are holding up very well all the while offering the lowest operating costs. 150-200,000 miles are easy to achieve.

Go with what YOU need. But try to keep your dollars at home as this will help folks here more than any other way.

You might look into insurance costs too. In my experience imported cars cost more as their parts are more money.
