For the first time, the Camry Hybrid faces serious competition.
It comes from the Ford Fusion Hybrid, new in 2010, which achieves higher mileage ratings and offers all-electric running up to 47 mph, not to mention tighter handling.
The Fusion Hybrid receives rave reviews, and sells well enough to make it a neck-and-neck battle.
The Altima Hybrid, available only in certain states, is also a full hybrid; its mileage and performance are similar to the Camry Hybrid, but its better handling is offset by a little less interior space.
Buyers who do lots of high-speed mileage may want to consider the clean-diesel Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTEC, which delivers 32 mpg highway-albeit at a much higher price.
Finally, the Toyota Prius was completely redesigned for 2010 as well, with a nicer interior and more optional features.
If you're OK with a hatchback and the Prius appearance, it's worth considering for its combined EPA rating of 50 mpg.
