I'll toss in a vote for the TDI, or at least one that hasn't been monkeywrenched as much by regulations. My little brother loved his hybrid, right up until he needed a new battery pack, then after a little figuring, it turned out that he'd have been better off, financially, with a purely gas powered car.
Sure, there's a trade-off for everything, but I'd personally wait until batteries are reliable enough for the manufacturers to provide a longer warranty for 'em.
I won't put down early adopters, though. They're the whole reason anything new ends up marketable, from cars to computers, and everything else that has room for improvement.
