I'm probably going to buy my wife a new car, that I will in turn adopt in about a year for a commuter car...

Camry is what I'm leaning towards and she loves them and doesn't care about the drivetrain...

So... I can get a 268 HP V6 that would avg. 26-27 mpg overall, which is really good for a V6, and the car is fast... but in traffic it really doesn't matter...

OR I can get a Camry Hybrid for roughly the same price and get 36-38 mpg overall, 190 hp (although its just slightly faster than a 4 cyl. because of the added weight) and get green! 1300 dollar tax credit, clean consience and much less cash spet in gas... but it completely loses the chick magnet factor (unless you like the hairy pit chicks lol)...

Put in this situation what would you do and why?

btw.. the car will be one that we plan to keep until it dies no matter what and just rack miles up on...
