5) I'm in the LA area, can anybody recommend a good dealer? In the So. Cal area, what have members been paying? I see on Edmunds.com that invoice for the standard Hybrid is $20,517 and the Hybrid w/Navi is $21,885.

Hey, Sheniferous. Welcome
1) I am not sure people here really think about that when driving. Most are really trying to maximize fuel economy. I can tell you from a test drive today that while they are a little peppy, they are not as peppy as say the EX.
2) I considered it but I really wanted some of the extras in the hybrid and I wanted to do my part for pollution. Phoenix just hasn't got a clue yet about controlling pollution. There are some cool features on the EX (e.g., a sunroof) that you can't get on the hybrid but I really wanted to do my part and reward Honda for being so forward thinking.
5) I paid MSRP here in Phoenix. When I was at the dealership today, two other couples where looking at the hybrid. It's hard to deal with them if they are getting 1 or 2 a month there is this sort of demand. However, I've read a couple of threads where guys were getting several hundred dollars off MSRP. I was just looking not to pay for the $1,400 "Arizona Package" when I bought.
Good luck and keep researching.
