Scroll to the 25 seconds mark. Not sure how 'legit' this video is, but I'm hoping the trunk is sized decently. I'm looking to buy a hybrid (never thought I'd say that). I've been looking at the Prius, but I just can't stand the way it drives. So now it comes down to the Camry Hybrid vs Accord Hybrid. Will need to take a closer look at both within the next coming month.

The Camry Hybrid does have a fold-down rear seat with a small pass-through (it is small though) and there is a temporary spare also.
I am interested in a Hybrid car also, but since my wife already has a current-generation (2013) Accord, I will stick with a Toyota product. I will, however, be interested in taking a closer look at the Accord Hybrid when it arrives in dealerships.
Anybody know when the 2014 Highlander Hybrid will be arriving at dealerships?

The trunk boundary looks like it starts behind the wheel well and anterior to the brake light.
that's 1 suitcase

when has math ever affected people's decisions to buy hybrids?

It has more power? Do we have engine power stats? It will probably be slower than Camry, just like Fusion.
