I gave serious consideration to a new Toyota Camry. Then I bought a Cadillac CTS.

The Camrey looks better than the Lexus ES330, IMHO. It's beautiful design. Coupled with it's superior reliability, it's hard to beat.

DETROIT -- The redesigned Toyota Camry, the hottest-selling car in America, is the winner of Motor Trend Magazine's 2007 Car of the Year award.
I'm sorry, but it's ugly. I'll stick with the Nissan Maxima if it's a sedan I want.

roominess?!
My impression without knowing the actual figures is that the Camry is a pretty big car - looks bigger than a BMW 3 series or Merc C-class. Too big for me, actually, though otherwise a perfect daily driver for someone who just wants to get to work in comfort and safety without worrying about driving thrills.

Toyota -- boring, but very reliable.
To: billhilly
All Toyotas are great.
Well, they have great reliability, granted. But I wouldn't purchase one for a myriad of other reasons.

The new Camry is a nice, if bland vehicle (I say that as a Honda Accord blandmobile owner), but I can't think of anything particularly innovative about it. You want innovation, go look at Mazda, or Subaru, or Daimler Chrysler or Audi or one of those outfits that has interesting new engine technologies.

I'm amazed at how big Camrys and Accords and such have gotten.
They almost qualify as boats in my book.

The same with Toyota Tacomas....almost as big as Dodge Dakota. The Ford Ranger is about the only truly "compact" pickup left.

Kooooool, man!

I doubt there's enough difference between a Hyundai Sonata now and a Camry to justify paying more for a Camry right now.
To: Proud2BeRight
Ummm, that's the point really. If it were cutting edge, American, and/or exceptional in any way we wouldn't be talking about it as the car of the year.

They get about 33 MPG of rice.

I have owned several cadillacs, and the Toyota Avalon is nicer than any cadillac I have ever owned. The Avalon Limited, at about $36,000 with navigation, is all the car anyone could want, plus 31 mpg from a 268 hp six.
