Default Re: New Toyota Camry Hybrid Review in PCMAG

So they admit they "couldn't replicate the price online" of the car they were testing, yet they're still able to conclude that the "hybrid premium runs about $2,400 more than a similar gas-engine-only Camry"? I can't for the life of me figure out where numbers like this come from. Try as I might, I can't equip a non-hybrid Camry to a level comparable to the hybrid model and come up with a "premium" that's that high. Maybe $1300 if you're comparing the 4 cly. XLE, but only $200 if you're comparing the V6 XLE.

Oh well, at least it's not as bad as the "$6,600 more than gas sibling" from the MSNBC article!
