I have one. I picked it up yesterday at the dealership. I had to order it, made in japan, took about 7 weeks total from the time I ordered it, to pickup. It's the magnetic grey metallic color. Leather interior, dvd navigation, moonroof, all the works. Pretty much every option they had, I told them to just toss it in.

I have on it about 100 miles now, rides like a champ. The push button start thing is sorta weird, or at least because i'm not used to it. You can lock the doors from the exterior, and unlock them by walking up to the car and putting your hand on the door handle, as long as the "key" is somewhere on your person.

It has the auxillary hookup, so I use my ipod with it, and it has a 4 disc in dash cd player. Sounds pretty good for a factory stereo to be honest.

Hmm...what else...the hybrid battery is mounted behind the seats sort of, so it does cut out like 3 cubic feet of trunk room from the normal 07 camry's out. It's still plenty big for my needs. The dvd navigation is pretty nifty, has everything I could think of. Bluetooth up and running in less then 1 minute.

More about the ride now. If you're not paying attention, you won't even know the car is running, it's so dead sexy quiet. There is carpet insulation stuff under the fenderwells to reduce road noise, and overall cabin noise is pretty minimal. Ride quality is excellent, and feels really good. The engine feels pretty peppy for being a hybrid. Normal gas mileage according to my electronic onboard monitor thingy has been about 35 so far with a mixture of highway and city driving for the 100 miles. Cup holders are good sized also to accomodate bladder busters.

Anything else that you can think of that you might be interested, ask away, that was just a quick run down of random thoughts that came to me.

I am looking for a dvd player hack though.
