    It’s hard to imagine, but 2017 will mark the 20th anniversary of the debut of Toyota’s first gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle, the Prius, way back in 1997. Since then, hybrids, and the electrification of the automobile in general, have become almost ho-hum.

    Yes, some still get excited about the idea of a “$35,000” all-electricTesla, but electrically-assisted, internal combustion engine vehicles are becoming the norm, not the exception, in showrooms. To the point where the normcore Camry Hybrid — and rivals from Ford,Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Volkswagen — can get left off a new car buyer’s list. Yet after a week behind the wheel of our 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE, we think that would be a mistake.
