    Just wondering did they change the interface design of the touch screen for the Camry? Or is it the same interface design as that on the Prius which looks a bit dated. <_<

    What do you mean? The Camry Hybrid uses the newer version that includes 1 min bars instead of our 5 min bars. It's also based on the newer hgih resolution 06 Prius screen.

    You only get that screen if you have navigation. If you don't, you get a more primitive 80's-era screen in the middle of the speedometer.

    Hm, nice. Wonder why they didn't all the features on the 06 Prius's display. A few more "trip computer" functions i.e. distance-to-empty, current trip/tank MPG, (cruising range) would have been nice... I miss the Passat's MFA, where there's a separate trip computer that resets 2 hours after engine off.

    The current model's interface doesn't look dated though.

    According to Toyota's list of features in the Camry, standard on all Camry Hybrids are twin tripmeters, an instant MPG gauge, and indicators for distance-to-empty, average speed since ignition, distance since ignition, average MPG (since ignition, I think, but I'd assume there's also MPG for each tripmeter), and an energy flow diagram.
