CarSPIN's first HYBRID is here!

[TheIntrepid]

So we picked up the Camry today.

2007 model, everything but sunroof, leather, and nav.

-Smart Key
-JBL Premium Stereo (Voice activated + 6CD + Auxiliary + Bluetooth Phone)
-Dual Zone Climate Control with Plasmacluster
-HomeLink (which I can't manage to program )
-LED taillights
-Leather wrapped steering wheel / shift knob

It essentially has everything but factory nav, leather, and a sunroof. We put in the Magellan Roadmate 760 that was in the van before.

Loads of other gadgets that I am in the process of figuring out.


























The uber cool lights (I think they're xenons..but i hadn't read about that anywhere )

First?  We've had the Prius for a month

Congrats on the new ride, dude.

[the Teuton]

I like the color.  I'm not sure I see the significance of a hybrid, though, but I digress.  Congrats.

[Secret Chimp]

Wow, throw in some Reader's Digest and some prune juice and you'll have my grandma all excited.

[the Teuton]

BTW, leather FTL!  Good choice.

Damn you! you had me looking up Ebay to verify that nasty little piece of underhandednesss.

[nickdrinkwater]

 

Nice car dude.  I like the colour.

LOL - me too. However, due to the history, the jury's still out as far as I'm concerned.

[TheIntrepid]

Photoshop for the lose. Anyone want any particular pictures of a specific angle?

[NomisR]

I'm sorry you have a Camry now.. a Hybrid one at that...  hope you feel better..

[Raghavan]

I'm so sorry for you trep. Don't worry, you'll make it through this hard time in your life though.

Nah.

I want to say congratulations, but somehow it doesn't seem right. Enjoy the car.

[The Pirate]

Congrats!  You need to get some new wheels for that baby, though!

Why? It's on 16" Alloys.

[Soup DeVille]

Why? It's on 16" Alloys.

Giant, overweight wheels.

Find yourself some 12" spun monocoque magnesium wheels and shed all that extra unsprung weight.

[Soup DeVille]

Is that actually an analog fuel consumption gauge? 

[Raghavan]

BTW, leather FTL!  Good choice. 

What he said.

[eThirteen]

toyotas have crappy projectors =[ haha

you need to have it dropped, and put some nice jdm rims on

[Raghavan]

I really like how the dash turns aqua blue when the lights turn on. That's a cool touch.

[TheIntrepid]

Is that actually an analog fuel consumption gauge? 

Yes. Does your car actually get 5 miles to the gallon?

[Soup DeVille]

The Caddy? when all is said and done it might, depending on what I decide for the engine.

The Civic gets about 34 MPG.

The Si gets 34 mpg???
Makes Nick's bragging about his 36 mpg 'st33m look silly.

Only when I drive like I care about such things and keep the AC off. Normally its closer to 30-31.

I get 5L/100km in exclusively city driving over the past 43 km that I've driven it.

Unfortunately, after 43 kilometers in a hybrid Camry you unavoidably lost consciousness.

I would have, but the Plasmacluster's "anti-fatigue" technology kept me awake.

BTW this thing has the nicest climate control I've ever used. The A/C is amazing.

[Lazerous]

Wow, if you can't tell whether or not those are xenons then......wow!

zOMG! It only has like 9 LEDs/taillight. My Accord PWNs you in terms of LED #, i think mine are brighter too!!

The daytime running lights are on...which means they're on low setting. I forgot to turn the lights on before taking the pictures just now... I just turned on the engine.

[Catman]

ROFLMAO!

Trep, nice car.
