The word Yagi is the name of one of the Japanese inventors of these directional antennas. The other inventor's name was Uda so in technical circles these are Uda-Yagi antennas in honor of the inventor team. The invention is from the early 1900s. While there is a multitude of directional antenna designs in use today, the Yagi is the most popular, well known and most seen.
The XV40 was the first Camry series available with a gasoline/electric hybrid drivetrain (see: below). Known as the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the gasolineâelectric model premiered in January 2006âalongside the non-hybrid car. Camry Hybrids were initially built solely at the Tsutsumi plant in Toyota, Aichi, Japan, although the hybrid has never been available for purchase in its home market.
A consumer favorite turned hybrid, the Toyota Camryâs hybrid model ranked sixth on the iSeeCars list with a percentage of 0.7. Barely beating out the Honda Insight, the Camry Hybrid looks to last longer than its rival, with Toyota planning to keep production running. With a price tag of around $25,000 for the base model, this is one hybrid that looks to be a solid investment.
