When/where is your commute? If you're in thick traffic on I-5 every day, aerodynamic efficiency won't matter as much, even at higher speeds--you'll spend most of your time riding in the wake of other vehicles (I've gotten some of my best highway MPG on the Dan Ryan in Chicago because of this effect). If you're commuting in from Buckley on 410 and 167, aero will be more of a consideration.

If you want a MT hybrid, Honda is your only choice.

As far as turbo cars, keep in mind they don't usually play well with EOC if you like to do that.
