Sure. Even my old '96 Accord has "Torque-Sensitive" hydraulic power steering. My point was that losing power-steering assist when driving wouldn't really be "dangerous" unless you were driving at extra-legal speeds on a curvy road. Otherwise, it'd just firm up the steering.

Obviously you have never encountered a condition of PS pump failure. You not only have to use enough energy to turn the wheels but now you have to "PUSH" the hydraulic fluid "around".

Sorry, you're wrong.
 
I've driven a car with power steering when the vehicle stalled/died at speed. All hydraulic power was lost (electricals were fine, however). Losing braking power was the issue; losing power steering wasn't a problem at all.

"At speed" isn't generally a problem as the need to turn widely isn't there.
 
Think of having to parallel park, for instance.

The danger is awfully low if you aren't "at speed." If my power steering fails, I'm not going to parallel park somewhere. I'm going to get the thing fixed!

yeah, but read the article. there's a misleading headline and nothing in the story to support that 100mpg claim. lousy journalism.

2010 Camry's will begin production in March of 09. To confirm some changes:
 
1. NEW 2.5 4 Cyl engine.
2. New front and rear bumpers, grill, headlights, taillights.
3. New Wheel Design.
 
Speculative changes:
 
1. A new color or two
2. Gen 6 Nav system
3. Minor interior trim changes--gauge and control fonts may change.
4. More availability of Smart Key on models other than XLE.
5. Hybrid version may get more trim/exterior mods to differentiate it from gas models.
 
More to come if I can confirm any other changes.

Do you know anything about transmissions for the 4 cylinder?

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.
