2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid
2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid - Toyota Midsize Hybrid Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
Although the Camry Hybrid is a nice, economical cloud to ride in, it is insulated from any inkling of driving fun.

The Camry is roomy, well-equipped, and has a very straightforward hybrid monitoring system for the driver. You can look at a needle swinging through a large MPG gauge, which also alerts you to EV mode. I honestly never engaged with this car, mostly because it was so overassisted and underdamped. The front end bobs and wanders, needing constant steering-wheel corrections. The Altima Hybrid weighs 200 fewer pounds, gets better fuel economy, and is a more satisfying car to drive.

Review: 2009 Toyota Venza
2009 Toyota Venza - Toyota Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The Family Truckster strikes back. If it's what's on the inside that counts, though, the Venza is a knockout.

The 2009 Toyota Venza has some lovely styling elements (like the character line that forms its broad rear shoulders) and some not-so-lovely elements (like the entire front end). Unfortunately, it has way too many of all of them. In fact, the last blunt-nosed, overstyled station wagon to use this many clichd styling cues was the Family Truckster - the fictional monstrosity purchased by that lovable idiot Clark Griswold in the 1983 comedy National Lampoon's Vacation.
