I think the Vue will be the easiest hybrid to get for a little while. I ordered mine during the summer and I just a few days away from it being delivered. They were having trouble with them at the factory. It turned out the computer connection a mechanic would use to plug into was given the computer an error message. As soon as it is fixed they Vues will be shipped to the dealers. My recommendation is order one and put the $500 deposit down. As soon as it comes in I'll post some pics to the site.

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 195,000 km to date. (retired)
1997 BMW 318IS with m44 engine (1.9 liters > 130 horsepower on 91 octane, capable of 30 mpg highway)
What configuration or options? I'm mostly interested in the transmission you went with.

there's only one transmission choice, HYBRID. A 4 speed hydramatic and an electric motor that gives 115 pounds of torque and a 36 volt battery capable of delivering 10KW peak of power at one point.
The A/C has economy mode, so it can run the AC when the car is stopped, max of 2 mins I've been told.
