A more eco friendly Camry is being mass produced for 2010, which offers the same reliability you expect from a Camry, however, the hybrid has a combination of gasoline and electric drive motor, which is based on Toyota’s synergy drive technology. In the Toyota’s synergy drive the electrical motor is not mechanically connected with the gasoline engine in any way. Even the accelerator is not connected to the electric motor, when in electric mode the accelerator merely transmits an electrical signal to a computer which relays the message to the electric motor to speed up. This hybrid Camry comes with a decent inline 4 cylinder 147 BHP gasoline engine combined with a 40BHP electric motor.
