Replying to: dewey (Jan 19, 2006 5:40 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 6:02 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 7:52 pm)

Replying to: dewey (Jan 19, 2006 7:44 pm) Officially they said only that it's a new platform with a 2" longer wheelbase. Whether that is the Avalon platform or not has not been stated.

The revision specifies that certain equipment be installed on the engine and operating at the time of testing, as well as the use of the manufacturer required grade of fuel during the test. Presumably, all manufacturers will be using the revised Standard for future tests. Toyota decided to retest most of its engines using the new protocol this year. Consequently, the horsepower and torque ratings for many of our vehicles declined this year. Any changes in horsepower and torque ratings based on the implementation of the new testing protocol, however, have no impact on actual engine performance.   2007 TOYOTA   CAMRY HYBRID PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATIONS SUSPENSION   Front Independent MacPherson strut suspension with stabilizer bar Rear Independent dual-link with stabilizer bar   BRAKES   Type Electronically Controlled Brake system (ECB) Front Ventilated front disc (hydraulic with power assist) with standard Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) system and integrated regenerative brake system Front Diameter 11.65 inches Rear Solid disc (hydraulic with power assist) with standard Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and integrated regenerative brake system Rear Diameter 11.06 inches Parking Foot pedal type   STEERING   Type Electric power-assist rack-and-pinion Turning circle 36.1feet (11 meters)   TIRES AND WHEELS   Wheel size 6.5 x 16 inches Type and Material Aluminum alloy   Tire Size P215/60 R16 Tire Type All-season   Spare Temporary CAPACITIES   Fuel Tank 17.1 gallons   2007 TOYOTA   CAMRY HYBRID PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATIONS EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS (inches)   Wheelbase 109.3 Overall Length 189.2   Overall Width 71.7 Overall Height 57.5   Tread Width (front/rear) 62.0/61.6 Minimum Ground Clearance 5.9   Coefficient of Drag 0.27 INTERIOR DIMENSIONS (inches)   Headroom (front/rear) 38.8/37.8 Legroom (front/rear) 41.6/38.3   Shoulder Room (front/rear) 57.8/56.7 Hip Room (front/rear) 54.6/53.9   EPA Passenger Volume 101.4 cubic feet EPA ESTIMATED FUEL ECONOMY* (mpg)   City/highway/combined 43/37/40 *Actual mileage may vary VEHICLE MASS (lbs)   Curb Weight 3,637   2007 TOYOTA   CAMRY HYBRID PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATIONS SAFETY AND SECURITY FEATURES   Driver and front passenger advanced airbags Front and rear side curtain airbags, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags and driver’s knee airbag   Side-impact door beams Three-point seatbelts for all seating positions, Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) on driver’s belt, Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractors (ALR/ELR) on all passenger seatbelts; three-point front seatbelts with adjustable shoulder anchors Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) Vehicle Dynamic Integrated Management (VDIM) Child protector rear door locks ISOFIX CRS top tether anchor brackets and ISOFIX CRS anchor attachments Daytime running lights BASIC LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE   3-year/36,000-mile Comprehensive 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain   5-year/unlimited-mileage Corrosion Perforation 8-year/100,000-mile Hybrid-related Component Coverage   15-year/150,000-mile Hybrid-related Component Coverage (applicable states are: CA, MA, NY, NJ, VT, CT, ME, NH and RI) with the exception of the hybrid battery.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jan 19, 2006 2:29 pm) Kdhspyder said:   " John is as fully aware of the raison d'etre for the Prius as anyone. He was one of the first and a good source of information since before the '04's launched. "   You are right, now that I think about it, I did learn a lot of Prius information from John1701A in the Prius 2004+ forum. John cleared up a lot of my misunderstndings   A couple of examples:   In message #2701, I learned that instead of dusk sensing autolights the Prius had updated thier auto lights to a simplier off/on switch. I had always thought before that that was auto-off and not automatic lights. But John cleared up my misunderstanding.   In message #3830, I learned that the Prius did not have either transmission or gears. Instead of gears the Prius has a power-split-device. Before I had incorrectly thought that a transmssion was used to connect the power of the engine to the turning motion of wheels through gears (plantary in the case of the Prius). But John cleared up my misunderstanding.   The Prius was a good car, but the replacement TCH (Toyota Camry Hybrid) will be much better.   Cheers,   MidCow Replies to this message: dewey (Jan 20, 2006 12:37 pm)

Replying to: midnightcowboy (Jan 20, 2006 11:46 am) I disagree,   the TCH and the Prius can coexist quite well as long as the third generation Prius is differentiated with new technologies(as I believe the Prius 3 of the future will become a "new technology show case car" for Toyota).   MPG focused customers may end up buying the hybrid Corolla/Matrix in future years instead of the Prius, especially if the hybrid Corolla is significantly cheaper than the Prius.   Despite the future hybrid Corolla affect on Prius sales, I do believe many will still stick to a Prius for its cool geeky image(pardon the oxymoron).

#69 of 3174 TCH vs Prius Pricing by gagrice Jan 22, 2006 (6:58 am)
Do you think the Camry hybrid with all the bells and whistles will be more or less than the top of the line Prius?   TMV for a package # 8 Prius in San Diego is $31,366. I cannot imagine a fully loaded Camry Hybrid for less. Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Jan 22, 2006 7:27 am) gagrice (Jan 22, 2006 7:50 am) dewey (Jan 22, 2006 8:38 am)

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 22, 2006 6:58 am) Loaded up Prius here in Va is ~ $29600.   I'd guess an XLE trim TCH will be ~ $31000 Replies to this message: gagrice (Jan 22, 2006 7:50 am)
