Wife wants new car think I have her talked into plug in hybrid

Yes we were looking for a Honda clarity but they seem to be rather difficult to locate.
The hyundai and kia plug ins are usually available with some variation of trim and option choices.

Got a white 2016 hyundai sonata plug in hybrid lease turn in.
I was not able to cut a check for the full amount, if I waited another year, sure. We will probably pay it off in a year or 2.

Congrats.

Will you be sharing your driving experience with us, or is it just hers?

I will drive it some. She won't let me put a tow hitch on it so that kind of limits it's usefulness to me.
I pitched in $4,000 for an unneeded down payment but I want to see it paid off in a year.
I realigned assets so I can come up with the remaining loan ballance real quick if it becomes necessary to possess the title for some reason. Because I'll be damed ( by bevers) if I'm going to lose that down payment.
I'm very against car loans, to the point where it's completely irrational if you couldn't tell.

There's much worse things to be irrational about.

I've considered the Sonata before, and I'm sure the plug in version is a great car.

I've got a Torklift (overpriced) hitch on my Prius. I went with that brand because only the square receiver shows under the bumper. The rest of the hitch hides behind the bumper, out of the airstream.

Sounds like the leafs hitch, all but the square tube and chain loops are covered by the rear diffuser.

Looks like this plug in hyundai has about a 10kw pack and charges at 3.8kw just like my old leaf.
It's a 4,800lb car it's going to ride like a lead sled.
One thing I have not been able to find is of the battery has active thermal management.

Well carvana f'ed us.
We ordered a very low miles 2016 plug for $20,000. They got it shipped to albuquerque to one of their hubs and called us and was like, "ummmm it's not a plug in".
They would even lower the price to a reasonable non plug in price. (The plug in version demands around $3,000 more).
My wife was pissed. I offered to rent her a car for a week.
Nope went to the dealer and bought a 2018 non-plug in hybrid for like $27,000.
