Back to the Future made predictions about 2015, some came into fruition while many didn't make it past the 1985 silver screen. Hoverboards, dehydrated pizza and flying cars aren't yet part of our society, but the energy saving potential of the time-traveling DeLorean is.

As you might have heard, the 2015 Toyota Camry sports a much more menacing mugshot than its predecessors thanks to a large black-out grill, optional LED headlights, a reshaped rear and more aggressive-looking nips…
