The Camry is a reliable, well built and well designed car. But it is designed for people with mediocre driving skills.

Well, isn't that the majority of the market? LOL!

I just got a 2003 Lexus RX 300, which is a crossover vehicle/SUV built on the Camry frame. It's incredibly easy to drive but it handles the twisty backroads of Marin County very well, too. The unfortunate side effect is that you see a lot of people who have no business being on the road at all driving RX 300's. Soccer mom-type women, usually - unfortunately confirming the stereotype. I think their husbands buy them RX 300's hoping that when they cause the inevitable accident, their chances of survival will be better.

Never would have considered any Ford car. In fact the only American-made car I even thought about before buying the Lexus was the GMC Yukon, but I decided it has too big for what I needed.

I owned an LTD crown victoria gave it up after 150,000 miles. Someone else now is still driving it. I now own a
ford explorer and a ford windstar. They're both great.
