So you haven't looked at an Avalon in 18 years?
Avalon Hybrid (the Toyota version of the Lexus ES300h). Drive that and
compare it to a current Camry of any style, and you'll see how they've
cheapened the Camry beyond belief.

So you've never actually even sat in one, let alone driven one. Got it.

Driven one only as a rental in Florida. Ironic that in Florida Toyota is
dumping hybrids with fleet sales while in California they are so popular
that this would never happen.
I didn't want the Prius for a rental, it was all they had left. Very
cramped for four of us with luggage. But in the bizarre world of car
rental sizing, the Prius is a "mid-size."

Prius has a larger back seat than Camry.
And I've taken four people plus luggage on vacation in Prius. That it
doesn't have a trunk is what got you all flummoxed.
