Toyota vs…Toyota? Camry Hybrid takes on the Prius
By admin | October 15, 2011
LEARN MORE ABOUT TOYOTA HYBRIDS: www.edmunds.com Guy walks into a Toyota dealer — sounds like a joke so far, right? Not quite. Guy walks into a Toyota dealer looking for a 2008 Toyota Prius. He’s heard about hybrids for awhile now, and the Prius is one he knows by name. He vaguely recalls some celebrity bragging about taking one to the Academy Awards instead of a limo, and then there was that South Park episode, “Smug Alert” a couple of years back. And didn’t Al Gore’s own son make headlines for getting busted doing 100 mph in his Prius? Something like that. Beyond the hype, Guy’s never really given hybrid cars much thought, much less gone looking for one. And even though he can afford a decent-size car or SUV, the price of gasoline has him looking for fuel economy in a serious way. And there on the showroom floor, Guy sees a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid for almost the same amount of money as a Prius. Now what?

Japanese Toyota cars are now tainted with high levels of nuclear radiation from Japan’s recent nuclear disaster. This Plutonium-238, 239 and 240 will increase your incidence of cancer, infertility and sperm damage.

Screw. Hybrids. There is absolutely no point in their existence. There are 2 reasons people buy hybrids: they think they’re being “green” or they want to save money on gas.. Well, because of the production of batteries for hybrids, its more “green” to drive a Hummer. Oooo a Prius can get 50+mpg? Well, clean diesel cars can get 60+mpg. Why not just start importing those?
I’d still rather take a car that actually has something called acceleration though..unlike hybrids. Those things are too slow.

dear toyota. why does the camry look so ugly over here. i’ve been to china, and the camry looks WAY better over there.
October 16th, 2011 at 4:38 am
@ooooeeeeooooeeee yeah, i think maybe they were just trying to justify a camry hybrid, even though it’s not as logical as a car that is entirely dedicated to being efficent
