But at 45000 mi/y I need mega efficiency. OTOH I reserve the right to change my mind since I've just come out of 15 yrs of trouble free Camry ownership over 4 different vehicles.   Maybe I'll trade the Prius in July on my birthday. Nahh, I'll just max it out in 5 yrs and get then Gen7 Camry with Hybrid tech.

#55 of 3178 Let's settle on an acronym that everyone uses by larsb Jan 19, 2006 (4:10 pm)
OK, since there are specklings of "THC" and "TCH", let's settle on a common acronym.   I think since the   Honda Civic Hybrid is the HCH   that the   Toyota Camry Hybrid should be referred to as the TCH   Anyone disagree? Let's make it the TCH and keep it consistent, agreed ...???....

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jan 19, 2006 3:29 pm) Prius is a hatchback, the only one available from Toyota. Toyota's business objective is to increase marketshare. Eliminating Prius would be counter-productive, especially since it is also known as the vehicle of which new technologies are introduced. So claims that it will be retired simply don't make any sense.   Just look at how Prius doesn't compete directly with Camry-Hybrid. Toyota clearly hasn't positioned the design configuration to overlap, as some people have eluded.   JOHN

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jan 19, 2006 3:18 pm) Sorry kdh but I don't think Toyota has any plans to retire the Prius. Between the yearly dealer meetings, talks with Jim Press and others as well as numerous other meetings I have never heard a mention of that - ever.   I agree with you that it is the prophet but I think that every time Toyota introduces new Hybrid technology in future - they are probably working on the 3rd or maybe 4th generation as I write this - it will always start with the Prius and make it's way to the other models. I have been told by the powers to be at Toyota that the Hybrid option will be less than $1000 by 2010 and offered on every model they make. The Prius helps them achive that with it's volume.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jan 19, 2006 3:02 pm) The first TCH's are due here in May June from Japan. I understand that KY will be online ind 4th Qtr ramping up to ??? Initial volume projections are ~ 4000 units monthly.   Just curious but will the TCH that will be offered during spring be from Japan?   If I am not mistaken are "Made in Japan" Camrys different from the US made Camrys ? Especially in terms of dimensions(Japanese Camrys are smaller) and different interior designs. Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Jan 19, 2006 7:06 pm)

Replying to: toyotamover (Jan 19, 2006 5:16 pm) Launch vehicle for new technology makes sense.. But I think the emphasis from here on will be the Camry as it always is. If Prius sales slump in favor of the Camry, Oh well...   I didnt mean to imply that the Prius was done after this model. Another iteration certainly seems likely but the Camry always is the heart of the product line and IMO the emphasis will be there.   I also own an MR2 which as you know was allowed to retire until a later date.
#60 of 3178 Camry platform by cammer2 Jan 19, 2006 (7:02 pm)
I've read conflicting information about the platform being used for the 2007 Camry.   On the one hand, it seems like the 2007 model should still be based on the existing 2002-2006 model. On the other hand, I've heard it's based on a new "global platform" from which the 2006 Avalon came.   Anyone know which one of these is right?

Replying to: dewey (Jan 19, 2006 6:40 pm) If I am not mistaken are "Made in Japan" Camrys different from the US made Camrys ?   There was a perception at one time that the Camry's made in Japan were 'better'. I think that's been put to bed by now. Smaller no.. unless you were joshing..

Replying to: cammer2 (Jan 19, 2006 7:02 pm) The new Camry is definitely not based on the existing 02-06 platform.   Does that mean the new Camry shares its platform with the 06 Avalon? I am not sure? Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Jan 19, 2006 8:52 pm)
