Pretty much the way I feel.
I had an '04 Prius (BC Pkg 5) which I traded in on the '07 Camry HV (Option C). I really liked the trade in value for the Prius (100% of my purchase price less taxes) after 2 years. I do like the Camry more than the Prius in certain respects. It rides smoother probably due to the longer wheelbase(?). The high resolution screen on the NAV compared to the Prius. Also the Camry is a better road machine. It's steering is more stable at highway speeds and it doesn't strain on hills nearly as much as my Prius did. It does strain more than my wife's '07 Camry XLE-V6 though so that's our real road machine. I never got close to 60 mpg on the Prius (more like 45/50) but always get 40 mpg on the Camry.
