What type of mileage will it get and what is the base price and engine size?
Can we "buy" a position on the yet-to-be-produced hybrid Camry?
Specific details regarding the hybrid Camry have not yet been made available.
In terms of mileage and engine size, I'd guess that the Camry hybrid, much like the Highlander hybid, will utilize a V6 engine and will improve fuel efficiency around 30% over the conventional Camry.
Additionally, the Camry hybrid should be a bit quicker than the conventional Camry as well.
I do not know whether Toyota has already started a waiting list for the Camry yet, though it does seem a bit premature at this point, since the release has still not yet been made official.
The best news regarding the Camry hybrid is that Toyota is prepared to offer far more Camry hybrids in its first year of production compared to all other previous Toyota hybrids.
