So, here's the deal. I go to my local KING TOYOTA Dealership, to get the oil changed in my Prius, and to get a new set of floor mats (TOYOTA may make great cars that last forever, but when it comes to floor mats, they wear out. And I take care of my floor mats!)

While I am waiting for the oil change, Anthony, my dealer (he has sold me three TOYOTA'S; soon four!), comes over, and asks me what I think of the new Cruiser they have. I tell him, it's nice, but not for me. Now, if you have a Camry Hybrid, I would love to see that.

And so, he shows me this one...And next thing I know, I'm trading in my '05 SCION XA which only had 10,585 miles on it, so he gave me $12,000 for it.

Nice. Now this Camry is a Hybrid, which runs like my Prius, only not as great mileage (still better then a regular one, by far), and it has a combined 192 (or so) HP. It's faster then the Prius, which is not the reason I got it, but is nice.

The interior is more like a 'regular' car (gear shift on the floor as opposed to the dash like the Prius), and this tach like device, which is not a tach, but is designed to look like one. What this gauge shows is your MPG as it goes up and down, as the car drives. It moves like a tach...

Oh, and when you slow down in this car, it's engineered to sound a little like the Jetsons car, I swear it does...

I have not named it yet, and still have not taken any real good pics...but here are two for now.

(The name Camry comes from the English phonetic of the Japanese word "kanmuri", which means "crown", so I am trying to think of something that goes with that theme)
