I owned a 1992 v6 XLE camry that I traded in 2003 for the 2004 XLE camry (not V6). I did not really like the Prius at the time. I just traded in the camry for a 2008 prius which I should pick up next week. I chose the Prius over the camry for the mileage and the fact that it is a full hybrid. I drove the prius and yes, it does not ride like the camry, but I am willing to give that up for the mileage.
