Toyota Camry Hybrid

Toyota annouced that they will offer a Camry Hybrid. The Camry will also be the first U.S.-built Toyota gasoline- electric hybrid. Toyota has said it will eventually offer hybrid drives in all its top-selling models. It wants to build on the lead it holds in hybrid sales of Prius cars and add a direct competitor to Honda Motor Co.'s gasoline-electric Accord, which went on sale in 2004, Hall said. ``There's some competitive pressure to get a hybrid Camry into the market soon,'' said Hall, who is based in Southfield, Michigan.
``Camry is a natural next step, but we haven't made any decisions,'' on selling a hybrid version, said John Hanson, a spokesman for Toyota's U.S. sales unit in Torrance, California. Toyota is based in Toyota City, Japan.
``The midsize-sedan segment is moving in that direction, so it would be logical to offer a hybrid Camry,'' said CSM's Langley. He expects that version to go on sale in mid to late 2006.
