I really don't see buying a TCH making a lot of financial sense at its current EPA rating. I am thinking I will trade-in this car anyway in two years time to get a more efficient hybrid ( 90+ MPG ?!).
I am wondering if anybody was concerned about this before buying this car and ended up buying it?!

Everything is relative. A new car doesn't make financial sense if you think about it. Why buy a new car when you're going to lost 20% of the value when you drive it off the lot (I made that figure up, but you get the point.) If you really want a Camry, get a used Camry from a Toyota dealership with the automatic extended warranty that it comes with.
I went through the same thought processes that you are going through. Should I get the TCH? Should I get a regular Camry? Should I get the V6? V4? Moonroof? DVD navigation system (which I knew I would rarely use).
Finally, I just decided, to heck with it. I'm going to get what makes me happy, and what made me happy was the heated leather seats in the winter time, and the fact that the car was geekier than I am. Ipso facto, ergo, and there 'ya have it I made my decision.
Then my wife promptly swiped my car, but that's another story in another thread.
