Toronto, Ontario - The Toyota Camry gasoline-electric hybrid sedan, which was named 2007 Canadian Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada earlier this year, now accounts for about 20 per cent of all Camrys sold in Canada, announced the company.

"We are thrilled that Canadians have embraced the Camry Hybrid. The Camry Hybrid has accounted for almost 20 per cent of all Canadian Camry line sales in the first seven months of this year," remarked Tony Wearing, Managing Director of Toyota Canada Inc. "As Canadian drivers are discovering, the Camry Hybrid delivers more than just great fuel efficiency and a fraction of the tailpipe emissions of a conventional automobile. It's also big on performance thanks to smooth and powerful hybrid acceleration and Toyota's top of the line vehicle dynamics and control technologies."

The 2008 Camry Hybrid, which is now on sale, has an MSRP of $32,000, up slightly from $31,900 for the 2007 model.
