I expect it to be comparable to the Avalon all along

That sounds about right.
How much does the Carmy weigh vs the ES? If its similar, the ES wil post similar times.
Ten years ago, no one would have said a stock Camry would be this fast.
Ten years ago, no one was thinking about Hybrid Camrys and it would be faster than the old V-6 ones.
Amazing.

Damn, 7.3 is pretty good. A little slower than what I'm used to but definitely doable with the awesome fuel mileage. And it's about $5k less than the Accord hybrid too. Will definitely have to give the Camry a second look.
