Early release of Gen 7 Camry hybrid?

[ledebuhr1]

Now that Ford announce that the new Hybrid Fusion will get much better MPG than the hybrid Camry. Do you think Toyota will move up the Gen 7 release date? We know Nissan has a Hybrid in the works and Honda has a Diesel Accord coming out soon.
Normally we wouldent see the Gen 7 until 2011, but the only thing that is sellling is fuel efficient cars. And that is still a long time away
What do you think?

I see no reason to. Camry Hybrids are selling very well as is. Ford is rushing out to release a hybrid because of their financial situation similar to that of GM/Chrysler. So Ford releasing a hybrid shouldnt have an effect on the Camry.

wow for once i agree with you

oh well
idk about the gen7 but im hasppy with my gen6 09 SE
why should Toyota run after them ?

Domestic automakers are generally a step behind. Bad time for a hybrid to come out when gas is $1.50 per gallon.

If the Chevy Volt came out last summer, GM could have set the prices high on it.

Toyota isn't running after anyone....the reason Ford is releaing early is because Ford is chasing after Toyota....

Ford can come out with a car that runs on water and it still wouldn't sell as much as the Camry.

That was his point.

But his point was that since Ford was running after Toyota or any company with Hybrids, that they should release a new one ahead of scheduled time just because a competitor is releasing a hybrid.

^^^ wow guys. You're like women. Anyways I dont think Toyota will or should come with a GEN7 Camry Hybrid sooner than scheduled. The current hybrid is selling well, so theres no need to panic over ford or anyone else.
