The last time we talked about a Camry SE on these less-than distinguished pages, the resulting article upset one of our contributors (a certain "Nurburgring race instructor") so much that he quit the site in protest. That certainly wasn't my intention. But I know that our hearts will go on.
Of all the comments that particular test attracted, both on and off this website, I don't recall any of them having anything to do with a desire for hybrid power. Presumably, however, there is someone out there who wants the sportier appearance of the Camry SE and the now-legendary economy and durability of the Hybrid Synergy Drive, because now it's possible to combine the two.
The resulting "2014.5 Camry Hybrid SE Limited Edition" will be limited to five thousand units at a price of $27,845. This represents something under two percent of Camry production for the year, so they should be an easy sell. If you have money to blow like Birdman, an additional $2215 will get you a moonroof and Display Audio.
Overall it seems like a pretty sound idea, although the virtues we discovered when running the plain-Jane SE around Shenandoah Road Course probably aren't quite as apparent here. If any TTACers step up and buy one, we'd sure like to hear about it.
