So I drove to our Sudbury office today - in a 2007 Toyota Camry.
And I quote from my convo with Kev (because it's exactly as I feel about it):
If you're soft, pudgy and have zero ambition in life beyond doing the minimum amount of work properly so you'll stay employed until you retire... YOUR CAR HAS ARRIVED. Please, take mine. I'll hitchhike home.
</end rant>
We now know why nobody mods Toyota Camrys... because noone is young enough to remember where the hell they parked it.... nevermind knowing how to mod it! :lol: :rofl:
Seriously... trapped in the geriatric styling of a Toyota Camry is a hard-working, torquey V6 that's trying to escape the sheetmetal. I kept blipping it, picturing it attempting to break free of the motor mounts. It wants to frolic with all the other good engines in real cars. When you hammer that car off the line, it wants to go and the torque steer is admirable. Then, as the rest of the car takes over the driving experience... it almost makes you want to turn emo... almost.
And I quote from my convo with Kev (because it's exactly as I feel about it):
Quote:great engines, half-decent transmissions (with horrible grade logic), and the rest belongs at the bottom of a dung pile in a farmer's field
Quote:seats - s***e, steering - made for 105 year old retirees, brakes - overenthusiastic, body - playdoh over chickenwire, stereo - horrible headunit, good speakers, etc
Quote:no TCS, no heated seats, easily fooled ABS, cupholders have a stupid cover over them, armrest is too large (like a chopping block with a vinyl cover)
Quote:the instruments are decent but the HU scrolls "Welcome to Camry" every time... I DON'T HAVE f***ING ALZHEIMERS, I KNOW WHERE I AM
