That whole thing was a Gov’t hit piece.
It served its purpose. They knew it all along, but needed the negative PR for Toyota.
Yepper - my 2010 Camry does everything as advertised - no more and no less (unless you count that the V-6 is actually faster than what you can garner from the specs - turn off the traction and stability control and it's about a 5.7 sec 0-60 vs. the 6.2 I've seen on the charts and a friend quit at 145 mph even though his had a bit more to give; pretty nice for a car that gets ho-hum reviews for not being sporty. Plus it will stop faster than about anything else near its class - no slalom machine, but it is solid, stable, and you can change lanes with gusto without over/under steer.).
I'd buy another in a heartbeat, but I'll keep this one for a few years.....
