#11406 of 13222 Re: 2010 Toyota Camry [backy] by baggs32 Jan 11, 2009 (3:26 pm)
Replying to: backy (Jan 11, 2009 2:37 pm) From the Toyota press release:   The Camry Hybrid, equipped with Toyota's industry-leading Hybrid Synergy Drive,   Hmm, industry leading in what way? I'm sure it leads the industry in something but to just say that it's industry leading in general is plain wrong now. And they're mad at Ford for saying the Fusion hybrid has the highest FE for a mid-sized car?   The IC doesn't look much different to me and might be even a little more boring to look at now. Hard to tell from the pics they have on their media site. The hybrid's lower fascia is just plain horrid IMO. The whole car has a rounded off theme to it and that lower fascia is stretched out to the wheels and squared off. Did Spongebob Squarepants help with that part of the design?

Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 11, 2009 2:05 pm) The 2.5 is an "order only" model, so I really don't consider it part of the model lineup.   I think you're correct about the 2.5 model though. I'll have to double check Nissan's site to see about that though.   And, it's good to see Ford is implementing the smart key technology on the 2010 Fusion. They're really making a push to get back their lost market share aren't they? Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jan 11, 2009 8:55 pm)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 11, 2009 4:04 pm) Toyota has had this for a while now; and Nissan just recently, I think. Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Jan 11, 2009 5:37 pm)

Replying to: joe97 (Jan 11, 2009 4:59 pm) i thought maybe it was tied to all the 'buzz' about the fusion lately.

Looking at some of the new D3 metal they are showing off at the auto show, if this stuff can hold up better than in the past, maybe Detroit can pull off another close call save. It would be nice to shop for cars and have a bunch of them that you like rather than always having to revert to Toyota and Honda because you are afraid of D3 problems. I remember when I was younger it was kind of neat to shop a lot of different alternatives that you wouldn't mind owning.

It's all pointless, keys work just fine.   I wouldn't buy an Altima if it had this period. That said, I wasn't all that impressed with the car. It had over sensitive brakes which drove me bananas.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Jan 11, 2009 6:31 pm) You beat me to it. Most mfgrs smart key systems have a feature that you cannot lock the smart key fob in the car, including Nissan. Mazda is that way too. I have no idea what vanman1 is talking about.
