I would as long as it suited my needs and I liked the look of it.
When I bought my Accord in 2003, the only other car I considered was the Mazda 6. I looked at the Camry then, but I thought it looked a little stodgier than the other two. The new Camry would have made me look a little closer.
Part of the reason I chose the Prius over the HCH was the unique look. The other reason was I could get it in black.
Both Honda & Toyota will get slight preference the next time I'm car shopping. They have great reputations for reliability, which I value highly. I'd rather spend some extra bucks up front so I don't have to spend a lot later to keep it on the road.
Of course, if Jeep comes out with a hybrid version of the Liberty, you can ignore everything I just said.
