Replying to: schtdylady (Jan 15, 2006 7:21 pm) http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/AutoshowArticles/articleId=108838 It shows a picture. The 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid uses an electric motor along with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine. It offers 192 horsepower (as much as the current 3.0-liter V6 model), and can accelerate from zero to 60 in less than 9 seconds. It also delivers 43 city/37 highway mpg. Cheers, MidCow

Some posters emphasize performance on the Camry If I wanted performance I certainly would not be buying a Camry in the first place. A performance Camry is a oxymoron. The reason I ordered a hybrid Camry can best be described by the following words in the NY Times artilce linked below: It's the sheer delight of owning the latest high-tech advancement." HYBRID CAMRY

A performance Camry is a oxymoron." This perfomance of the Camry is good about what the current V6 is maybe a little worse. It is definitely a consideration for most car drivers. The performance Oxymoron is the Prius. The only car in the the entire Toyota line that is slower including the SUVs was the automatic Echo. At 0-60 in 11.5 seconds with a Prius you almost watch paint dry or grass grow faster. At 0-60 in less than nine seconds thae Camry has the equivalent perfomance of other non-hybrid sedans and you will not have to worry about getting run over entering an expressway. YOMV, MidCow

Replying to: midnightcowboy (Jan 17, 2006 1:07 pm) My satisfaction with a hybrid Camry will be based on how its mileage will compare to EPA estimates(unlikely to be identical but hopefuly not way off). Especially since most my driving is city driving (EPA city = 43 mpg). But my main attraction is the HSD technology itself! |

Replying to: dewey (Jan 17, 2006 12:53 pm) I disagree. I own a 97 Camry LE V6 and it is very fast and a lot of fun to drive. After I put on some sports tires the cornering is also very good. I expect the new Camry Hybrid to be equally fast. The new sports version Camry SE V6 should really be a blast and worthy of any sporty driver (short of a BMW M3 that costs twice as much!). But of course it's not good for your wallet at the pump. |

The pricing for the new Camry has not been announced. It's a fun game to try to guess the new pricing table for the 2007 Toyota Camry. I assume that: 1. the new prices are the same as the old prices; 2. the hybrid trim level (apart from the hybrid engine) is halfway between the LE and XLE trim level; 3. the additional price of the hybrid engine over the 4 cylinder version is $2750. That would give a price for the 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid of $24325 MSRP (without destination charge and options). This would be a nice value price and position Toyota well against the competition. |

Replying to: dewey (Jan 17, 2006 12:53 pm) Their goal is to convince you that the definition of "performance" does not include emissions or consumption. Because when you look at what they are driving, those aspects are not anything to be proud of. In fact, their pollution & waste is down right embarrassing. Just look at the 0-60 acceleration speeds. Every few years, the acceptable rate changes... despite the fact that road conditions haven't. What has happened is the ceiling was exceeded awhile ago, but they had no other benefit to sell you... so they kept changing the acceleration even though an improvement was completely unnecessary. Reducing smog-related emissions is an aspect performance. Reducing fuel consumption is an aspect performance. Don't let the antagonists persuade you to believe they aren't. JOHN
