What's the difference between a regular Toyota Camry and the Toyota Camry Hybrid? Which is the better buy?
 
The Camry Hybrid has a hybrid system that uses both a gas engine and an electric motor to power the car. You get better gas mileage than a regular gas powered Camry, but It's more expensive. If you don't do a lot of city or stop and go driving, you're probably better off with a regular gasoline Camry.

This is the Hybrid system that Toyota uses for the Camry Hybrid.

Haha, I think I answered your question about the Corolla and Camry! :)

-First off, when people think of Hybrib, MPG is the only thing on their mind. Not power, just the money to fill up a tank.

-This might be helpful: Here are the models of the Camry. LE, SE, XLE, and Hybrid. The are listed from lowest price to highest price.

-But anyways, the "REGULAR" 2008 Camry gets 21 MPG in the city and 31 on the highway. Those ratings go for the LE, SE, and XLE models.

-The next model is the 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid, which achieves 33 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on highways.

--Here's some more info.

-The LE has a 2.4 L, 158 Horsepower engine with either 5 speed manual or 5 speed automatic transmission.
-The SE also has a 2.4 L, 158 Horsepower engine with either 5 speed manual or 5 speed automatic transmission.
-The XLE has a 3.5L V6, 24 valve, 268 horsepower engine with a 6 speed automatic transmission. This is the most loaded and power model.
-The HYBRID has a 2.4-liter, 147 horsepower engine along with an electric motor that creates combined output totaling 187 horsepower.
