So if asked 'Do hybirds make sense?' your answer is basically, 'As long as someone else pays for them', since you're actually driving a car that will never pay for itself.

Somebody else has already paid the depreciation on any car that you buy used whether or not it's a hybrid, what point are you trying to make? If you buy a new car thinking it will pay for itself, good luck to you! Would I buy a brand new hybrid? I can't even relate to that question, because I would never buy a new car for my commute, or even make payments on my DD.
If my commute was shorter I'd just bike it, but a car is a necessity for me, so I saved back money for a couple of years like usual, picked the used car that makes the most sense for my situation, pursued it relentlessly until I found the best one out there, wore the dealer down until I got a nice deal on it like I would have on any other car I was pursuing, and it absolutely makes sense for me.
