"Solara is only for the US. It is only left-hand drive. And the Camry hybrid is still very expensive. It would be difficult to sell here (in Australia) and too expensive to manufacture."
Okane has just been in the US for the start of Camry hybrid production, which comes on-stream as Toyota does all it can to boost hybrid sales there.
It is doing extremely well with the second-generation Prius, which is popular with Hollywood celebrities and well ahead of demand forecasts.
"It is 4000 cars a month, very popular," Okane says.
It was the demand that convinced the company to expand production into the US.
Okane says US customers will take all the Camry hybrids it can make in that country, at least until the next full model change in about four years' time.

So, Australia is not getting the Camry Hybrid for AT LEAST four years?
So sad, too bad.
I suppose that gives me time to save the deposit
No Camry Hybrid for Oz
Linear Mode
