Interesting article, but pretty poor reporting if you ask me. They say the TCH has optional Bluetooth and smart key, and that their test car didn't have either. You can plainly see the start button in the picture....and I believe ALL Camrys now have bluetooth

Here we go again! How can you compare a car like a Prius to the TCH?? It's not even close to the same size and weight. The only similarity the Prius has with the TCH is it's a hybrid........that's it. The wheelbase is much smaller on the Prius as well. Can we please put this subject in the deep freeze already!

You forgot to mention that the TPH's trunk is 35% larger than the TCH. Surprising given it's much smaller wheelbase (106 vs. 109 ).

That is incorrect. Ours is a 2009 and you have to get JBL audio to get Bluetooth (part of either of the two upgrade packages).

Thank you for the info. I guess bluetooth went the way of the standard alloy wheels when they changed the option packaging since I bought my 2007. I stand corrected.
