I'd figure the Camry would win. I knew that the Accord "Hybrid" was more of a performance car with an electric engine to assist similar to the Toyota Highlander and RX350. Toyota could have easily cashed in and make a "performance Hybrid." I'm glad they didn't as I'm sure a lot of people are. I agree with Motor Trend in that Toyota will need to step up hybrid production, this is a no brainer, not only is it NOT overpriced like the Honda its an actual hybrid and most importantly its a Camry. I read in some posts people were disapointed that the base 4cly only got a modest boost, well think of it, they have the Hybrid which is around the same horsepower as the previous gen V6 Camry, at least the old 3.0Ltr. They can't crowd their options as far as engine options go, so its perfect, you have a base, the hybrid and then the top of line performance engine. Glad Motor Trend liked it, I do too!!

Avalonman, are you going to keep your Avalon and have a Camry as well? What year is your Avalon? If you have both you can be AvalonCamryMan...sweet! Which model Camry were you looking at? When you find what you want I'm sure some of us, at least me would love to hear about your buying experience as well as your review on the car and your impressions.
