2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid - Toyota Hybrid Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
The Camry Hybrid is the most unobtrusive of hybrid vehicles.

As opposed to the Prius, which with its distinctive profile fairly screams its eco-friendliness to passersby, the Camry Hybrid is the most unobtrusive of hybrid vehicles. Disguised as a run-of-the-mill combustion-engined Camry, the only outward indication that there is a hybrid powertrain lurking under the skin is a small Hybrid Synergy Drive badge.inline_mediumwraptextright28167016/green/reviews/1002_2010_toyota_camry_hybrid1002_05_z+2010_toyota_camry_hybrid+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

2010 Hyundai Tucson - Hyundai Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The laggard gets a boost.

The wretched economy of the past year has been a boon to Hyundai, which enjoyed its biggest-ever market share in 2009. Hyundai's Tucson, though, has been a laggard: fewer than one-tenth as many have been sold as the segment-leading Honda CR-V. The redesigned, 2010 Tucson should fare better. First of all, it has shed the stubby look of its predecessor. The new car is lower, wider, and longer but is about fifty pounds lighter.inline_mediumwraptextright32138784/reviews/driven/1003_2010_hyundai_tucson1003_01_z+2010_hyundai_tucson+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
