yes, despite the fact that you can probably save more money with regular Camry compare to hybrid camry, people will buy it anyway just to feel good.

ding, ding, ding, winnar!


"but, I'm helping the environment by saving a few gallons of gasonline." :roll:


You guys can laugh all you want, but in 20 years everyone will be driving hybrids anyways.

See who gets the last laugh. :D

Funny thing is that it's all because the govt and environmental groups in the US are all scared to death of diesel.

And diesel cars are as good, if not in some cases better than their gasoline counterparts. The new MB E320 just broke the previous record for continuous running for 100k miles at average speed of well over 100mph.

If hybrid tech dominates, Toyota will become #1 worldwide.

God forbid anyone should consider the environment when purchasing a car :roll:

because the environment loves massive amounts of batteries replaced every 6 years!
6? I thought it was 10.

Regardless, the battery issue is not a problem as far as the environment goes. They're fully recyclable, and I'm sure all the battery-oriented places are just waiting for all the hybrids to enter their battery-cycling period...
