Prius? Accord hybrid? Other hybrid? Conventional motor?

We have a 2008 Camry hybrid that I love. We bought it used, with only 18,000 miles, so we knew the hybrid battery was OK.

We were car shopping only a month after the big 2011 earthquake hit Japan and you can imagine that there were no new hybrids around, and waiting lists for any kind of Prius. A used Camry hybrid was off the radar and we wanted something a little bigger and more comfortable anyway.
