The only catch about owning a hybrid is that you will need to replace the battery pack some 5 or 6 years down the road, and that will cost BIG BUCKS!! If you don't replace it, the car probably won't worth any money in resale. I also expect resale value to drop rapidly in the years leading towards the battery replacement.

Also that once warranty is up you probably have to pay thru your nose to get anything powertrain or drive line related fixed. Virtually every repair has to be done by the dealer.

Get a diesel! To me it makes more sense.
