Oh yeah. I know my answer. I'm biased though! I wanted to see what the arguments for it are. I was surprised to see that the Civic Hybrid is better on the hwy mileage. (I'm more familiar with the Toyota all-lectric-until-later setup). So that leans me in the could be good for him direction. IF such a car COULD adapt his driving style, then I'm all for it!

Why would the Accord Hybrid be better? (Forget the Lexus, he could, but he is way too frugal for that.)
