Toyota has reached a milestone.

The Camry now has a hybrid version that’s sportier than the regular gasoline-powered vehicle. What the Australian division of Toyota did is something that while not impossible, was thought to be far down the line. In fact, this hybrid version is even more efficient than the Yaris.

The earliest that we could expect this model to be released would be in 2010. According to Toyota Camry hybrid’s chief engineer Yukihiro Okane who spoke with Drive, the car will be faster than the gasoline model when it comes to 0-100km/h acceleration. It will also achieve a fuel consumption rating of 38 mpg (6.2 l/100km).

Positive step. Toyota should do more of this, plus hire some great designers.

Didn't read the article did you? The title is misleading but if you read what's below.....the Camry HV will be faster than the gas Camry AND be more efficient than the Yaris. Thanks for coming out.

Clean Conservative design. Toyota has a decent new look that should procure you guys with enough sales to stem the economic tide.

Plus, youre Toyota, you guys dont have to prove anything to anybody anymore despite faltering quality, fit and finish, and reliability. You get sales based on word of mouth alone. So much in fact that you have been using the same commercials for your cars since the late 1990s.

Guys, the Yaris will get a redesign in 18 months. Big deal if a 4 year old car has gotten beat by new models in MPG. This is good news. Its called Progress.

Imagine if they can get a whale the size of a Camry to 38 miles a gallon. That next Gen Yaris will probably have 45 MPG.
