The Camry is comparable to the Civic and the Accord to the Avalon, right?

I'm feeling pretty good about it, but thanks

Most in our industry stopped getting company cars and now get crappy car allowances that leaves the employee with the raw deal in the end. I'll take my free, economical car over that.

No. The civic is comparable to the Corolla. The Camry and accord are comparable.

If you have your wife driving a CR-V I feel bad for her. She should have married better.

Had a Camry then a Passat and now in a WRX for my company rides. Camry was worst car. Passat was a tank and a nice car. The WRX is obviously far more fun and snazzy (limited).

That said, the new Camrys look worlds better.

Thanks, it seems like Toyota has a ton of models I lose track of it all.

I'd rather drink a gallon of ball sweat than be seen in the ultimate appliance, the Camry.

I've been hit by a car going 50, only minor damage to car and I was fine. I hit a deer going 75, and again, minor damage 



I am gonna need you to define minor because neither of those accidents would result in minor damage in any modern vehicle.

Maybe not minor in costs, but minor when you consider the force of impacts.

I obliterated the deer, as in he exploded when he decided to sprint in front of my car. I assumed the front end of my car would be totally smashed in before I got out to inspect. But no, not even a broken headlight. Mainly damage to the bumper and a medium dent.

The other time when I got hit, they hit the front passenger side going 50. There was bodyily damage around the tire, as well as the tire being bent up.

I'm not trying to sell anyone on a Camry. They're vanilla and dime a dozen. Having driven a brand new Accord and several brand new Camry's, I prefer the way the Camry drives and performs over time. But the style award goes to the Accord.

Toyota should stick with bland but handsome cars. When they try to make things sporty, they just make it ugly.

The new Toyota Camry has a hideous and cheap looking front end.

Honda Accord and Mazda 6 are the best ones in that class IMO.

Camry, Malibu, Fusion, Sonata, and Optima are all good but not really comparable to Accord.

In short, there is nothing wrong with a Camry that isn't a Lexus GS.

Period.


What do almost all teachers have in common?

A college degree.
Educated adults choosing to drive one of the best sedans for value/reliability. The horror.

Those degrees are probably 7th-9th grade level of difficulty, if that.
