Toyota hybrid named Green Car of the Year
Green Car Journal has named the 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid as the Green Car of the Year. Selling for around $26,000 and getting 40/38 mpg, the hybrid system is essentially the same as the Prius with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and aerodynamic design. Toyota is hoping to sell more than 300,000 hybrids by the end of 2007, which shouldn’t be too hard considering rising gas prices and, oh yeah, the Camry is already the top-selling car. No matter how you might feel about hybrid cars’ effect on the environment, they may at least help curb our dependency on foreign oil and “stick it to da man,” even if just a little.
