A lesser evil
 Hybrid + room for 7 = Highlander (HH). If you need an SUV, the HH is the lesser evil.  Move lots of people and lots of stuff for less gas/fewer emissions. I feel the V6 + hybrid engine is a bit excessive.  Toyota was trying to break hybrids out of the "green" market and into the gas guzzling SUV power market: "Not just for enviros anymore". But the I4 (2.4L) + hybrid engine would have been just fine and probably gotten another 5-7mpg. No issues with any part of the car in the 15 months I've owned it. Very easy to drive and you can't tell it's a hybrid. The 3rd seat is neat and easy, but there is almost no storage when it is up.
