Was at the local Toyota dealer yesterday. The salesman said they had a morning sales meeting and were told the Camry Hybrid may show up on dealer lots as early as December with the probability window between Dec. to March.
Guesstimates the mileage to be around City Mileage: 39-37 mpg and Hwy Mileage: 36-33 mpg based on the engine from the 5,500 pound Highlander sitting on the lot which had City Mileage: 31 mpg Hwy Mileage: 27 mpg on the window. Had three of those sitting on the lot. All had moonroofs, but only one had the navigation and leather interior and the price was over $40K.
Of course, this is speculation from the dealer's salesman as he based it on the V-6 3.3L engine in the Highlander (it's lot sticker was about $38,000 and $41,000 depending on the package: i.e. leather and GPS system). He was guessing the Camry would be approximately in the $26-$29K price range. He said it may debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in October.
Time will tell.
