At the risk of repeating myself, apart from these distinctive features the PZEV is just like any other Legacy: comfortable interior seating four adults, spacious, convertible cargo area (for families), comfortable ride ensured by a well calibrated suspension, comprehensive equipment and, most of all, an all-wheel drive system than guarantees optimal grip in all conditions (especially in the winter with the appropriate tires).
It is interesting to note that the PZEV sedan is still nearly $2,500 less than a Camry Hybrid, and it does not cost more than its "normal" 2008 counterpart. And any independent mechanic, even in the farthest-flung reaches of Canada, will know how to fix a PZEV engine, which might not always be the case with the Camry Hybrid's more complex powertrain.
Moreover, the PZEV doesn't use any special batteries that require specific recycling procedures. Finally, a PZEV sedan offers more trunk space than a Camry Hybrid or Altima Hybrid. It has folding rear back seats and if that is not enough, you can always go for a Legacy PZEV wagon, and benefit from its large cargo area. A few more arguments that any eco-minded consumer may consider.
