We're getting a new Honda Civic Hybrid, and of course the dealership is pushing their extended warranty. Normally, I view these as nothing but a profit center for the dealer, but with the hybrid cars being somewhat new, am not as sure as I might have been. Any ideas?

Also, they're pushing this thing for the windshield called DiamonFusion, which supposedly protects the glass from a lot of normal grit damage, reduces glare, etc. I haven't yet found out what this costs, and at first thought it was "snake oil" but I see that the company has military contracts for this stuff. It's actually passed tests on tanks and other vehicles. Anyone heard of it and/or had any experience with it?
