I guess the Camry Hybrid is fast enough, the 2003 Acura TL got 0-60 in 8 seconds, but compared to the Accord Hybrid, it is too slow. But I would sacrifice one second for more mpg. But I would still buy the Accord Hybrid because it has folding mirrors, since the Camry doesn't have folding mirrors, I will pass.
I'm gonna order me a pair from the JDM. that way, Ill be the only Mirror folding 2007 Camry
The Camry Hybrid only offers I-4 with the system, having a V6 Hybrid for the Camry will be pointless since their purpose was to make a midsized sedan hybrid more fuel efficient, not performance. The Lexus can vouch for Toyota for that problem. Lexus' main point in selling their hybrids are to promote more performance. They all share the Hybrid Synergy Drive system, but Lexus uses it as their advantage for more performance and fuel economy at the same time. This includes the upcoming GS450H, LS600H, and the RX400H. As Motor Trend Magazine saids "Does Lexus need an AMG division?" Which I think using their hybrid lineup as their own AMG lineup will be a cool promotion, where you get performance and fuel economy in one package.
The Highlander is approved by the DOT as a true hybrid as well since it works similarily with the Prius system, only difference is the engine used, a V6. That's why the Highlander Hybrid is allowed to be driven in carpool lanes.
As in Honda, they only added a electric engine with their regular V6 engine, so it's like a little boost for the car, that's how Honda's IMA system works. Their hybrids uses the gas engine 90% of the time, where the electric engine is used as extra power and support, where Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system uses the electric engine 90% of the time, having the gas engine there as the workhorse for recharging and maximum power during high speeds and acceleration.
Even though both Honda's hybrids are recharged the same way as Toyota, (braking and stopping), Toyota's system follows the true formula as a hybrid car.
i think your over simplifying the hybrid powertrain.
Does base Accord hybrid have this "high technique" information screen and the cool push button start? Can it be propelled by electric motor alone like TCH?
