    G'day,

    Even "dyed-in-the-wool" motoring journalists (= 'petrol-heads' - not sure of a US equivalent - 'gas-heads'?) sometimes like a Hybrid.
    It had to be the 'Sports' model, of course.

    Drive Car of the Year 2018: Toyota Camry Ascent Sport Hybrid

    My guess is that it is equipped close to the US SE or XSE.

    Gear heads? That’s probably the closest US term to petrol head.

    I believe the SE hybrid gets the paddles like the ICE one.
