America's favorite car, Toyota Camry gets even betterThe Toyota Camry, the car that is bought new by more Americans than any other, year in and year out, is even better now. The best-selling auto in the United States, the Camry sedan is an early-introduction, new-generation vehicle for 2007 with sleeker styling than its predecessors, new features and interior, the best Camry safety rating ever and the most powerful Camry V-6 ever. It's enough to guarantee that the Camry will continue to be an American hit, potentially closing in on annual sales of 500,000. Last year's sales totaled 431,703. But there's more to the Camry now. Fuel-conscious buyers will find that a gasoline-electric Camry Hybrid joins the lineup for the first time with a government fuel economy rating of 40 miles a gallon in city driving and 38 mpg on the highway. read more. GM Plans Gas-Electric Car to Catch Up to Toyota, People SayJune 23 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp., losing sales to fuel-efficient cars from Toyota Motor Corp., is developing a hybrid-electric vehicle with a battery that recharges at any outlet, said GM officials familiar with the plan. The so-called plug-in hybrid would travel more than 60 miles on a gallon of gasoline, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the research is secret. GM, which had the first modern electric car in 1996, lags behind Toyota in hybrids, which combine electric motors and gasoline engines. A 28 percent rise in U.S. gasoline prices this year helped boost sales of Toyota's gasoline-electric models 37 percent, giving the Japanese automaker almost three-fourths of U.S. retail hybrid sales. GM doesn't make competing vehicles now. read more. Toyota builds a Camry Hybrid for the massesThere is no oddball styling that pronounces to the world that it's a "green" car, just a small "Hybrid" badge on each front fender and a smaller badge on the right side of the rear end that says, "Hybrid Synergy Drive." So if you're wanting a gasoline-electric hybrid car to make a statement to your fellow motorists that you are energy- and environmentally conscious, the all-new 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid might not be the vehicle for you. Likewise, if your goal is to save as much money as you can, this car might not be what you need, either. You can buy a base Camry with an automatic transmission for $18,850 (including $580 freight) and get pretty decent fuel economy (24 miles per gallon city/33 highway). The hybrid begins at $26,480 and is rated by the Environmental Protection Agency at 40 mpg city/38 highway. read more. |
