Has anyone rented/owned one of the Nissan Altima hybrids? I'm in the market for my first new car next winter (after driving the used Saturn sedan I bought after college for 5 years) and I really would like to get a hybrid if I can. I don't like the hybrids that look to hybridy if that makes sense. I like the look of the Altima hybrid, but I'm wondering if it drives like crap? My fear is that its going to be a pain in the ass for me to find one locally to test drive.

I know this isn't what you are asking for but here's a review about the regular Highlander and the hybrid Highlander.
