Infact, the share of Hybrids among total vehicle sales is less than 2.0 % Reason Prius-2008 is coming in Sep with Standard Edition ... Read More...

"Similarly equipped cars" -- there's the problem. Buyer-by-buyer basis is true to a point, but lets try to look at it objectively. What could be a single model, Camry, with a list of options, has been stratified into CE, LE, XLE, Hybrid, and, I will ignore here, SE models.

If you read the article YOU POSTED MOPARBAD, the closest non-hybrid Camry to the TCH is the LE V6, not the low-end CE: “The JBL system ... Read More...

Good news...the Camry Hybrid will now cost less. quote- A recent JD Power finding that hybrid popularity is giving way to more interest in diesel powertrains may have some legs to it after all. Even though gas prices have been hovering above $3 for months, Toyota is still trimming the entry price of its 2008 Camry Hybrid by about $1,000. To help pay for the unexpected ... Read More...

Nothing. I googled "2008 Toyota Camry" and got ZERO hits in News and nothing like a preview, first drive, or any kind of Toyota announcement at all. I guess they aren't ready to reveal anything yet. Maybe they are addressing 2007 owner complaints and are re-tooling some stuff. Read More...

...It appears that the MT editors were pleasantly surprised by the 2007 Camry Hybrid. While of course it doesn't have neck-snapping performance (that's not the point of the Hybrid Synergy Drive system), MT editors were surprised that it didn't take much work to get over 35 mpg in steady driving. I think Toyota's hybrid system is still by far the best, mostly because ... Read More...
