Default I think Toyota is getting this one right (Camry Hybrid)

I was just checking out the specs for the 07 Camry Hybrid: http://www.toyota.com/camry/models_hybrid.html

Specs are here: http://www.toyota.com/images/vehicle...amry/specs.pdf

I'm really impressed. They're using the smaller of the two available engines (2.4l vs. 3.5l) and has 11 fewer hp than the non-hybrid 2.4l equivalents (but still rated at a decent 147hp). Says the net hybrid hp is 187. CVT, and 40/38 EPA mileage. Price is $25,900.

Excellent price point, great mileage for a car that size, some hp to boot. This really ought to lure a lot of would-be Civic buyers. I smell a winner.
