The equipment level on the Toyota Camry Hybrid makes it most similar to the upper-level 4-cylinder version. That helps, because that means the Camry Hybrid gets compared to a more expensive car. That makes the Camry Hybrid a much better deal than if it were stripped-down version.
What makes this car's value all the more remarkable is that this calculation doesn't involve a tax credit. There are no tax credits available on Toyota products, anymore.
