As I watch this I see a car manufactured by a company that actually cares about what customers want. Physical controls for climate control, a physical volume knob and radio power button, a physical gear shift lever, not a rotary dial or buttons. An impressive fuel economy rating is also really nice. Hybrids are the near future, even if EVs are where we may eventually be. Hybrids are our best option right now. Also, people wanted more gauge customization and they got it. I’m tired of manufacturers putting everything on a 20” touch screen, putting the gear selector on a knob, and ramming it down our throats.

BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR - Huge fan of Doug's videos. I've heard him question why anyone would want to see a brake light indicator in their instrument cluster in past videos. In an EV or hybrid vehicle with brake regeneration, the brake lights can come on even if you don't hit the actual brake pedal because the regen system is slowing the car. While it's not terribly useful, I can see why some people might want to know if the brake regen is significant enough to cause the brake lights to illuminate. So, now you know.

@@riyoszu 1) Toyota decided that the hybrids (now all of them) should aggressively sound like a giant vacuum cleaner being abducted by an alien saucer while a choir of angels sings in the background, when they drive under 20 MPH. aaaaAaaaaaaAAAAHHHHHere comes the Camry 2) Watch an engine tear down, every inch of it that could be plastic is plastic, and a lot that shouldn’t be 3) They are now HUGE, the size of a Cadillac from the 90s, and yet inside they seem very cramped, the dashboard crowds you and that high middle armrest is ridiculous, look at Doug in comparison 4) no plug-in option means a tiny electric motor and a very tiny battery pack.
