Just what the US needs, bigger engines in what few fuel efficiency oriented hybrid available. Why not smaller, a LOT smaller, but with a engine belt driven independently variable speed SC for the times of requirement, 1% maybe...??
 
99% of the time even a 1L Atkinson cycle engine would probably be excessive.

I hear that the new 2.5 is more efficient and cleaner than the current 2.4. True, they could have made it smaller and even more efficient and cleaner, but the US population as a whole puts a large value on HP.

If the new 2.5L had DFI then I would approve.
 
"..US population.."
 
Yes, certain segments of the US population, the "red-neck" segment (Hi Bob, Merry Christmas) for sure, will never be willing, unless forced, to give up their V8's.
 
But the FUTURE has now arrived, the re-education of the US population has already begun, by Cadillac, yet.
 
No more V8 engines in Cadillac's future....
 
And it appears that future Cadillacs will NOT be patently UNSAFE FWD or even F/AWD.
 
Good-o, Kudoes, to Cadillac.
 
And I HATE having to CHAMPION Cadillac....But give them their due, I must.
 
Now if they would just QUICKLY adopt their new DFI V6 to the "truckster" I might even go back on my lifelong promise to myself that I would NEVER own a Cadillac.
 
But before I switch horses I'll have to wait and see how Lexus has implemented the AWD system in the upcoming 2010 RX3X0. R/AWD and their DFI V6 and I'll remain in their corner.

I THINK the 4 cyl will be getting a new 6 speed auto but I am only assuming since that trans is also in the 4 Cyl Venza.
 
No pics of it yet. Rebates on the current 09 model Camry are at an all time high of $1500 in the Seattle area. We have about 50 of them on the ground and hopefully can sell them all before the 2010 comes out. Week after CHristmas is usually a very busy week for buyers so we expect to move a lot of Camry's during that period. Also, we have had days and days of snow with a lot of wrecked and totaled cars so people will be needing to replace their current ones.

Not true at all regarding the end of Cadillac V8s. 2009 Cadillac CTS-V has a turbocharged 6.2L V8 engine that delivers 556 hp.

Both the 2.5 4 cyl and the V-6 will have a 6 speed auto trans.
 
Interior and Exterior of the Hybrid version says it will have more "dramatic" changes to differentiate it between the gas version.
 
And thats it....production starts in March 09

6 speeds, 9(10??) gear ranges, be prepared for LOTS of shiftiness..
 
For best, more optimal FE the engine/transaxke ECU keeps the engine right on the cusp, or closely nearby, of just barely having enough torque for current speed and roadbed conditions. Downshift results at even the very slightest pertubation in the roadbed and then an upshift afterwards.

Thanks for sharing the info seatoyotasales. Any info on the colors for 2010? We're trying to decide between the 2010 Camry or 2010 Prius. Will purchase in Summer '09 or earlier.
