Freeze, gas right now ( on the west coast) is $C 1.20 a litre - a little more than a US dollar. That really isnt the issue. My return trip to work is 16 km(all city), so I dont spend a lot on gas. As for the Prius,i never looked at power seats there. It just seemed so instantly obvious that the Camry was way more car for the money that I wasn't that interested. I may go back and check out the costs and options BUT I do know that side curtain airbags are an option, and that will add to the cost. And I dont much like the small back window.

Anyhow, the arguments here are really making me shift towards the Hybrid Camry. Finallybuying- your comparison is really a great recommendation.And I have never even considered the Accord Hybrid.

As for ozarkgolfer, if you mean me, why do you say that? If not - who? This is a straightforward series of posts - no flames, no arguments.
