BW - Altima and Camry hybrids are 5 star vehicles

"best looking, best priced hybrid sedan"

Both the Toyota Camry hybrid and the Nissan Altima hybrid were given 5 stars by a recent Business Week article, but the Altima hybrid was, ultimately, favored.

"The Camry and Altima are "full" hybrids that can operate on their electric motors alone at times. I gave both of them our top five-star rating. But when you factor in the Altima's low price and the $2,350 federal tax credit many consumers will earn for buying one, it's a far better bargain than the Camry Hybrid right now."

My Take

Recent road tests of these hybrid vehicles have demonstrated that the Camry hybrid is more fuel efficient than the Altima hybrid. So, the Camry hybrid will save more money over time. Of course, the Altima hybrid is more sporty - in performance and handling. So, give'em both a drive if you are seeking a hybrid sedan, if you can find an Altima hybrid - it's still only available in just a handful of states.
