I agree - those wheels are awful. Use it to your advantage. A couple cans paint later and it is fixed.

Okay guys, calm down. $4,500 was the most that I would consider spending.
I haven't driven the Camry hybrid but the Prius hybrids of that generation will easily beat the EPA mileage. The EPA reduced the rating on hybrids after the fact because lead-foots complained they weren't getting the rated mileage.

(The 2007 Camry hybrid was originally rated 40 city / 38 highway / 39 combined.)

Those hybrid drivetrains are pretty much bulletproof and you should never have to replace brake pads or rotors.

Yes, my personal judgement on size and shapes of cars is in the way of seeing the appeal. Sedans are useless for anything but transporting people...which I rarely do. Small hatchbacks FTW!
I share you feelings on sedans. It is wagons or hatchbacks for me. I transport 4 people and gear and a pretty regular basis so I prefer wagons. Unfortunately they are basically dead in the USA.
