I recently had the pleasure of meeting a member of the design team that actually designed the toyota camry. He was the guy that actually took the blueprints of the car reviewed and changed a few items and spearheaded the team that brought this car to reality. I drive a San Francisco Taxicab and drive a 2994 Toyota Camry Hybrid daily approximately 200 miles. The secret about this car is: THAT IT IS DESIGNED TO NEVER WEAR OUT. The Japanese wanted to prove to the world that a battery powered car could be invented to compete with the U. S. gas compact car market and they have. The vehicle will easily hold 5 people and has enough room in the trunk to haul 5 suitcases and extra's. I deduct fuel cost every year from my income tax and discovered my fuel cost for one year had went from 5200. to 2300. The vehicle cut my fuel cost in half. To date the vehicle has in excess of 150.000 and is driven 20 per day on the steep hills of San Francisco is has had very little mechanical problems. stevescars.com
