Other Choices:

The Altima Hybrid, which also has a full-hybrid system, has mileage and overall performance that's very similar to those of the Camry Hybrid, but the Camry's interior is a little roomier. The luxurious, diesel-powered Mercedes E320 Bluetec seems like an unlikely competitor, but it also attracts buyers who want to decrease their petroleum use, and it gets 32 mpg on the highway. To its credit, the E320 Bluetec rides, handles, and accelerates just about as well as the gasoline E350, but it's more than twice the price of the Camry Hybrid. Or if you'd like a full-hybrid powertrain in a compact SUV, there's the Ford Escape Hybrid, which is rated at 34 mpg city, 30 mpg highway. Finally, if you don't need all the space of the Camry and don't mind a hatchback, you might as well go for the much more fuel-efficient Prius, which gets 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway.

    Camry is the best to enthusiast and the 'normal' guy?

    As an owner - I can't agree more with that: "...Conclusion: The 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid contains all of the options a car enthusiast might want or need."
    Very good article!

    2008 Camry

    After transmission problems and the engine cutting out and stalling at idle with nothing but excuses from the Dealer, I'll never buy a foreign car again.

    Camtry Hybrid Bottom Line

    Conservative styling? That's accurate. Although at 34 mpg, who cares, really?
