Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The appeal of the Camry Hybrid is somewhat based on its conventional appearance - unlike the Prius, the Camry Hybrid looks much like a conventional Camry.  The Camry Hybrid has a new grille for 2010, which visually distinguishes it from the gasoline-powered edition. The Camry has always been designed for average tastes, and the automotive press says some mild changes to the bodywork for 2010 have done little to change that.  The tweaks include a larger lower air intake and more powerful headlights.

• "Wrapped around the Camry's gasoline-electric powertrain is a car so appealing -- a not too big, not too small vehicle that does virtually everything right -- that it's not difficult to understand its popularity." -- Newsday
• "It crouches with its nose low, ready to pounce as you approach from the front. The side glass arcs inward as it rises, suggesting a canopy." -- Car and Driver
• "With the new Camry Hybrid, it's difficult to tell at a glance that this mid-size family car is any different from its basic gas-engine sibling, outside of the subtle badging on its flanks." -- Detroit News
• "There's a 'hybrid' badge on the side of the Camry, but you have to go looking for other signs of the vehicle's high-tech pedigree." -- U.S. News
• "Unlike the Prius, the Camry Hybrid does not stand out in a crowd, an important difference for the eco-friendly driver who prefers to remain anonymous." -- Kelley Blue Book
