Of course, if the car you buy next year is a Ford hybrid or Nissan hybrid, they may not have gotten 60,000 hybrids sold yet, so you could get a full credit. But in reality any Toyota hybrids will start getting reduced credits after Sept 1, 2006.

Here is a link explaining the law:

A longer description of how this works. I don't see anything prohibiting getting credits on 2 hybrids, as long as you buy them soon enough. And you CAN'T LEASE them. You don't get a credit for that. The leasing company does.

The date for the reduction for the TCH is October 1, not September 1.
