I jumped in my Toyota pick-up truck today to run out and get some lunch, and heard them discussing the new Toyota Camry on NPR. They were calling it Toyota's trojan horse... It's a standard Camry (very popular selling) and yet under the hood is a hybrid. I think this is terrific news! Anything that can help get us off our "oil addiction" is a good thing. I just went to the Toyota website and sure enough they have a section on the new Camry and I have to say it looks nice. I would seriously consider buying a hybrid if only they sold a toyota hybrid pickup truck. (Which I think is a good idea for the smaller Tacoma). I putt along in my 4 cylinder happy to get around 20mpg, but I'd love to get 30+ with a hybrid - especially since there is no telling what the gas prices will be doing in the future - other than going up.
Kudo's to you Toyota.

I just heard the other night that Toyota plans to 'hybridize' their entire fleet eventually. So your truck may be right around the corner!
Very Cool! Thanks for that info! I think this is a glimpse into the future. Gas prices are finally getting high enough that they are starting to hurt and people are not looking to alternatives.
