  3. Trollbait liked Tideland Prius's post in the thread 2025 Camry HEV debuts, priced lower than the previous generation and only $450 higher than the Prius.

  6. Trollbait liked Tideland Prius's post in the thread Toyota Highlander to go BEV.

  7. Trollbait replied to the thread 2025 Camry HEV debuts, priced lower than the previous generation and only $450 higher than the Prius.
