I just bought a new commute car, a 2008 Camry Hybrid. Loving it so far. Faster, quieter and actually better MPG's so far than my old Civic, plus it has 4 doors and lots of fun options.
One gripe I have is it frustrates me to no end that the government has no problem collecting sales tax over and over again as a car is sold, yet the tax credit for buying a hybrid is only for new cars.
I did not buy the car hoping for a tax credit at all, just think its funny how it only seems to work one way
