ZZZZzzzzZZzzZZZZZZZzzzz

3300lbs, its lighter than i thought, one of the cholos here at work has a red one with tll the gangster stuff and it surprisingly looks good and kind of mean with all the aftermatket stuff.

I thought this car had lackluster interior and a reliability issue for the V6. I know they tested the 4 Cyl but it should be noted. The new Malibu and Accord appear to be much better fit n finish according to many other sites.

Gotta love how LLN used that trip to Atlanta to test drive all the Malibu competitors courtesy of GM. It’s hilarious.

As to the Camry – I’d take the new Accord over this even though I think the Accord is lackluster as hell. Let’s face it, though, 5% if all vehicles and 10% of all cars sold in the USA are either Accords or Camry’s. That speaks pathetically for the boring taste of my fellow countrymen, but that’s their issue. Unlike with women, when I pick up a car I expect the relationship to last a long while and to feel good when I look at it years down the road. That would never happen with a Camry or Accord. All I ever ask of a chick is that she looks good for a few months till I get sick of her crap.

Which reminds me … Xmas is approaching so I need to dump the current GF before Dec 20. Then comes the one-nighter gap between Xmas and Valentines, after which I can go back to the 2 to 4 month GF revolving door routine.

^^ LMAO good idea

Hey, Yeah !!!! And don’t forget the crappy transmission you get with the car. Too many complaints even with transmission replacements that have the SAME problems will make me stay far away from Camry.

I never liked the Accord but with the better looking rear-end I am begining to warm up to it.

I think Honda will do better than Toyota who is obviously asleep at the wheel….pulling a GM or Ford attitude with the consumer.

I was just about to nod off looking at it zzzzzzzZZZZZ

This car looks best in SE trim. The grill job on the SE does wonders for an otherwise hideous nose! The backside of the key tag isn’t visible in these pics, any guesses? LOL

The 08 Accord has a much nicer interior than the Camry, as does the Mazda6 in both fit and finish as well as ergonomics. “The Camry has a more up-scale feel than the other cars in this class, thanks to a handsome center console. Gauges are Lexus-quality and very easy on the eyes.” Lexus-quality? No way, but the Accord has a definite near-Acura interior.

I drove the V6 Camry while up in Montreal and I was amazed at how fast and powerfull that car is. Really nice car to drive, too bad the styling doesn’t really appeal to me. Its a very fast sedan and handles nice, this thing would be faster on a track than a VW Gti.

I see plenty of cheap looking plastic and knobs. Where’s the GM haters?

Uninspiring, old man car. Bigger expanse of silver plastic than the G35 coupe. Like the Cadillac commercial states … “social camouflage”.

I’D HIT IT! I mean rent it. Oops.

Surprisingly enough for such sucky car it sells 400K units/year. I think it is because loose emigration laws: every time I see a Camry it is driven by indians, not the Cherokees but towelheads with dots next to them. Perhaps Tata will buy Toyota. since it is like their national car in US.

The consumer report reading crowd will be disappointed when the Camry isn’t “Recommended” this year.

The rest of us won’t notice because the car is so boring.

Well that was amazingly racist autonut.

It was not amazingly racist: I did not insight anything, just noticed the obvious.

I see alot of Indians drive Camry’s but its because its a reliable car and won’t cost them alot of money in repairs in the future like domestics do. Interestingly those Indians with the dots enjoy a higher standard of living here than the average American because they come to this country and work and don’t complain like some people of certain ethnic groups do who expect this country to bend over backwards for them. So you have to give them respect for being brave enough to come to a new country, a new culture, and making a good life for themselves. Whats pathetic is the average American who was born and educated here and never made a good life for himself because he was too lazy and busy hating immigrants.

or the immigrants who hate america when they come to leech off us us while trying to change our society to meet their personal needs.
i also give props to the good people of india who come here with dreams and asperations follow the rules and get embraced by our public then make a better life for themselves, i say good job and everything they get here they deserve.

It’s a good car, but it is as bland as ever.

Indians make awesome food. they are great achievers. aren’t they always doctors?

First, it is IMMIGRATION law, not emigration law that governs foreigner coming to live in the US. Just why would you say it is loose? Which category? Temporary or Permanent? Your statement is too simplistic to make ANY sense at all. Sure it’s not perfect, but don’t say it is “loose” unless you have a some facts.

Yes most Indians are doctors or engineers (highly skilled labor) because these types of talent are in demand. Unlike Mexican who all seemed to come here because of family after the mother came over to give birth in the US illegally. Enough with the natural birth right.

No Imp(lol), a Buick is an uninspiring old man car.
LLN is just trying to throw us off the trail. LLN is still in bed with GM.
I will say that the interior is not exciting but the Camry is a family car not a sports car so that is what you get. It’s simple, clean and effective. The outside of the car is more exciting that the inside.
I would take the Accord over this and the Altima. The Sonata is a close third (for those who saw the 09 interior) and the Mazda 6 is nice but it has that 3.5-liter Ford poison under the hood
I doubt GM can sell 400k Malibu’s and Aura’s combined.
Notice how I can type the names even though they are inferior to the Japanese

Guys, I was trying to make a joke, not to raise ire about immigrants and immigrations laws. I love Indians (not Cherokees, but I like them as well).
Not all of them are doctors, although my proctologist is; and he is pretty anal .
I especially love indian driving technique:25 mph on any highway and driveway.
Collision experts love in NJ: huge market segment and not too much trouble. You can not get into a lot of trouble driving through a drywall at 25 mph. Camrys are excellent at withstanding such an impact; Corollas and Civics are not so much.
Indian food however, gives me a bit of discomfort which is not cured by my proctologist.
If you want to become popular in Indian community ask for a rare steak in Indian restaurant.

LMAO. An Indian (cool guy, BTW) just transferred here and the first thing he did is buy a Camry.

$28,000 for a Camry?

Camry has replaced the accord at the bottom of the commuter-coffin heap.It’s no quieter than my 9-year-old oldsmobile.

“The latest sixth-generation Toyota Camry,”
unlike the old sixth-generation Toyota Camry?

R-head: “Xmas is approaching so I need to dump the current GF …” The Diceman had a great joke about this

drivingisfun: How can you say the gauges are not L—s-quality. What is a L—s? A Camry with an L on the front. Or crown or celsior, but you get the point.

“The Accord has a definite near-A–a interior.” No, it has an A—a interior; they’re the same car!

autonut: I’m part cherokee.

planetdrive: My mom traded her Camry in for a better car .. a Taurus.
“I see alot of Indians drive Camry’s but its because its a reliable car and won’t cost them alot of money in repairs in the future like domestics do.”

but you do talk sense when you give immagrants credit for working hard. No problem with that.

CTS: here’s my complaint about immigration. When the germans and italians came here in the 19th century, they learned English. I say make the government responsible for printing stuff (Like driver’s license booklets) in Engish only. Anyone else, print ‘em at your own expense.

You gotta be kidding me. The editor claims that “the quality of interior materials is very good, with almost every surface soft to the touch.”

Uhhh, did you not see the entire acre of hard silver plastic on the center console which looks like a throwback to a 1980’s Mitsubishi Galant? With the new Accord and Malibu out, the Camry has one of the cheapest looking interiors in its class, if not THE cheapest.

“Surprisingly enough for such [a, you forgot 'a'] sucky car it sells 400K units/year. I think it is because [forgot 'of'] loose emigration laws: every time I see a Camry it is driven by indians [capital 'I'], not the Cherokees but towelheads with dots next to them. Perhaps Tata will buy Toyota. since it is like their national car in US.”

“It was not amazingly racist: I did not insight anything, just noticed the obvious.”

Actually, autonut, you are showing how much of a racist prick you are. You’re confusing (as most hateful, bigot losers do) two different cultures that have nothing to do with each other. ‘Towelheads’, as you so graciously call them, are Arabs…. you know, with the head wraps and the oppressed women, the funders of terrorism and the holders of oh-so-precious oil…. ring a bell?

The ones with ‘dots’ (be honest, you mistakenly call it a Paki-dot don’t you?) are in general Indians (ie from India, not like Aboriginal). Not necessarily though, since the dot has little to do with nationality and more to do with religion: it is a Hindu thing. And yeah, mostly hindus come from India, but not always. And there are lots of Muslims in India too (the ‘Towelheads, in case your short memory forgot’)… there are actually more Muslims in terms of sheer numbers in all of India, a Hindu nation, than in neighbouring Pakistan, a Muslim nation. Ironic eh?

So, maybe you weren’t amazingly racist…. I can’t say I’m surprised to hear BS like that from a stereotypically blind American…. but you did INCITE (please learn to spell so you can at least try to look like less of a loser) a lot of negativity. May I respond in kind? I wonder if I can come up with something to describe the stereo-typical American…… overweight, below average intellectually, lacking any sort of culture, addicted to McDonalds……. how correct is that??? I haven’t been down to the US for a while… just can’t be convinced to leave my Igloo (I’m Canadian, I hope you get the joke)…

Anyways, autonut, I’m sure you don’t want to bother reading any more of my non-racist crap…. and I don’t want you to be late to your KKK meeting… later!

So back to the Camry… the styling is boring for sure….. but I’m not sure young buyers are looking in this car segment much anyways. Until we have kids (I’m 20, so I guess I fit ‘young’) we’re not really looking for large or mid-size sedans. Not that it would hurt to be a little more interesting visually, but my guess is that the buyers of this car are looking for comfort and safety, not sportiness. Besides, Toyota has the new Matrix for the younger buyers, no?

Fluffer, you’d take the accord over a Rolls.
Or over a real luxury car.
You already have.

Maybe your stupidity in choosing cars rols over into your use of apostrophe’s (sic).

Unfortunately this through back to “silver 80s” is de jour with all manufacturers. Even new Accord has this retarded center stack of shiny plastic in the middle. Those radios suppose to belch out Michael Jackson I guess…

obhatti: yes, good call, diffrentiating the Ragheads from the towelheads. If the towelheads woiuld just come out and say “we prefer ‘camel-jockey’ as our slur of choice,” then both “raghead” and towel head’ could be applied to the ragheads.

we call white americans “‘woods” (short for “peckerwoods,” and southern white americans are “sister****ers.”
Course, we also have hook-noses, jungle bunnies and so forth
The Olympics are coming! Gotta get up to speed on my slurs.

Can someone please tell me what a turbantop is?
Or a burkabitch?

I can only guess…… turbatops either being Arabs or Sikhs (or likely both)
Burkbitch…. I would imagine that would be obvious, but Muslim women who wear burqas.

Autonut, can you please fill us in? I’m guessing you would know….

BTW – to be sure I think people have far too much of a chip on their shoulders regarding this stuff.

I work each and every day with frogs, krauts, limeys, asstralians, boos, beanahs, crackahs, rednecks, fatass gringos, biatchs, maplehumpers, gooks, nips, and yard-apes and have no problem with any of them.

All you gotta do is laugh and get along. Catering to the hyper-sensitive is what gets a kid detention for huggin a friend goodbye for the weekend.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/05/16/national/main695537.shtml

Get over it people. Don’t hate, just laugh.

omg i love that news story…. its so funny

i ususally dont care what people say, I grew up around racists and very prejudice people… but this got me going just because it sounded like autonut had no idea what he was talking about (im still on the fence about it, to be honest)

if u hate turbanheads, go for it, im not gonna try to change your mind, but at least be aware of who u hate in that case, do u know what I mean?

I actually linked an old story – sorry. Get this one — a HUGGING BAN!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071106/ap_on_fe_st/odd_detention_for_hugging;_ylt=AoYzvRth76StfpM4QjaNbDjq188F

fekkin crazy.

Ok, let me help with worldly knowledge. Fakistan was meant phonetically rhyme with “****istan” : I am equal opportunity offender.
burkabitch – is female who will scare camel to death if she takes burka off; they habituate in North Africa, Middle East, and most of Asia. I think burkas were mandated by the Humane Society to protect camels.
Ricardo, don’t listen to CBS is is the last bastion of communist propaganda. If you notice the name of the town in article is Bend, so obviously the population does not like hugs and they prefer to get it over…..
33 millions, means that 8 just jumped off the boat sorry plane. Just few short years ago it was 25 and they were not sexually active (frozen testicles) I reckon it is 8 million terroristson our northern border.
MCD is NYSE symbol for McDonald. My issue with immigrants that they do believe (just like you do) that US needs them. In truth, they need US much more. As a matter of fact it was American economy and society that created modern democracy (I know that her majesty subjects would disagree) and Canada was on the wrong side of history when America as United States was making history. Unfortunately world remembers US when disaster strikes THEM, when US saves their ass (over and over) there is rarely a “thank you” card.
As far as racism goes: I am an equal opportunity offender. I love racial/ethnic jokes.
I live in burbs on NYC, across the river
Skip the condom: Armenian scientists developed a new contraception pill for man – the clinical trials were total success not a single man got pregnant!

ok, autonut you’ve won my respect for the play on burkabitch……… fekkin hilarious….. I have to admit, I see some women and I think to myself “you realllllly need to cover up sister” *shudder* bahahaa!!

8 million terrorists and countin!

i dunno, i think it’s more of a “you need me, I need you thing” but I see your point… and there is validity in it……
there are times where the involvement of the US is welcome and helpful in other nations….. then there’s times like Vietnam…. it can go either way

OH I HATE YOU! (I love NYC, I wish I could live there!!!) If you ever feel the need to freeze your testicles, come up and visit me in Toronto.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH on the male pill!!! please tell me ur making that up…

R-head: what’s a maplehumper?
That’s the same attitude I have. I hate no man based on skin color, because each has produced his share of beautiful women.
‘cept for the pineapples

autonut:

what do you say to a P.R. in a 3-piece suit?

I know this is about an LE, but my neighbor owns a 2007 Camry CE, and wow what a piece of garbage. And people say GM’s base models have no content. The CE doesn’t even have power locks. And get this, the car only came with one key. Who the hell only offers one key with a car these days??

Not to mention the 15mph collision with a Ford Escort he got into. Paint scratches to the Escort, near structural collapse for the Camry. Took 2 months to repair.

Maplehumper = tundradweller from hoserland.

I live in Canada, Obhatti.

The Kumbaya mentality of Canadians from the 80’s until around 2000 is quickly going extinct. Right about now, Canada has become a cesspool of terrorists, hundreds of thousands of Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, Algerians, Moroccans, Afghanis, Iraqis, and Pakistanis all using multiple spellings of their last names to pull in 10 welfare cheques each, and generally a society of people split into factions that loathe each other.

At least that’s what’s happening in the big cities, ie. TO and MTL. Montreal is a powder keg, about to explode. I’ve never seen so much intolerance and hatred bottled up in my life. It makes the U.S. look like a Disney show.

BTW, we have SuperSize options at McD’s, and we also the exact same obesity prevalence of around 28%, and we’ve also got a failing healthcare system that’s about to end, and also we’ve got 7 million REGISTERED guns for 30 million people, and we’ve also got the planet’s school-shooting capital – Montreal.

Should I go on, or do you want to keep making us look like ignorant idiots in front of all these Americans?

deantj: how’s vancouver?

‘1115′, a Buick is many rungs higher up my ladder of preference over this waste of production.

‘obhatti’, “comfort and safety” … every car in this segment provides those two requirements … you really believe the vast majority of these buyers can differentiate between a Mazda 6 and this, if they were blindfolded? Get real, it’s reputation that sells here, nothing more.

I don’t know why I bother discussing these same issues over and over again … this is basic transportation for the masses, nothing more. And to argue where one has marginally better reliability but looks like ass compared to another is moot.

JJT
You drive a Tempo so what do you know about a Rolls?
I had a feeling that you are a racist and reading these posts you proved it. You had proven that you are an idiot in previous posts so its all coincides
I’m sure in your company parking lot there are many luxury cars but you are not drivng them your bosses are. You are probably taking out the garbage in the parking lot that’s how you know. Janitors drive Tempos and Mazda 5’s. Dont be mad bc you can afford an Acura Lexus or Infiniti

to me a mazda 6 just fits in a different category….. its smaller, aimed at younger buyers, looks sportier….. im not sure i would cross-shop this camry against it or vice versa

Deanster, my experience growing up in this country has been radically different from yours.

Can you for certain say that every single person from those nationalities living here in Canada is a terrorist? Wouldn’t there be more acts of terrorism here in Canada or down in the states if that were the case? I only can think of the suspected terrorists – the infamous Toronto 18 – that were arrested here last year as fitting your descripton. Some of them have already been found not guilty.

The welfare thing I cannot disagree with you on. I’ve seen it firsthand myself, and I think it’s disgusting, especially as a taxpayer, but simply pinning it on immigrants won’t help much in regards to solving the problem, even if that were wholly true.

I live in TO, and it seems fine to me. Not much of a powder keg here. I’ve only visited Montreal (and Quebec) once in my life for only a few days. Needless to say, it was after 9/11 and I did not receive a warm reception at all. But otherwise, I’m not qualified to comment on the state of affairs in MTL. There are other issues that might be at play there, too, however, such as the ongoing dispute over Quebec sovereignty. Most of the Quebecois, in general, dislike the rest of Canada, to say the least.

I’ve not seen a SuperSize option in any McDs I’ve ever been to here in Ontario. Maybe it does exist in some parts of the country, I’ve honestly never seen it.

I’m not trying to suggest Canada is superior to America in any way (except right now for the value of the dollar), so I don’t know how best to respond to your other points about obesity, gun violence and healthcare. I’m not sure what point you were trying to make.

Do you live in Vancouver or MTL? Your experience is likely different from mine based on where you live?

Fluffer

I worked as a janitor after high school. Worked my way through college, and now I, like you, make my money from the neck up.
I drive an oldsmobile (for a minute, anyway, until the enclave I want comes in). I sold my tempo, which, unlike my civic, was in a condition in which someone would pay me money for it.

I once rode 10-deep in an Olds.
Yeah, as you pointed out, I can afford a datsun or a faux-luxury toyonda. Nissan/datsun doesn’t make a car that’s in the category I’m buying in (murano/fx only seats five, and I don’t want a truck-besed SUV (Armada/QX 56) or a Minivan (Quest).
I’m not settling for a toyota or a honda, even if you spruce them up and add an “L,” or “A,” respectively.

onbhatti, deantj: The Esks, like the Knicks, and Bruins, suck. I thought the pewter pirates would suck, because they can’t keep a QB upright. But getting garcia (former Stampeder) was a smart move

I rode 10-deep in a Rolls, not an Olds. I ain’t no spic!

Hey JJT, don’t matter what 1115 thinks. His logic is screwed. He thinks you’re a racist because you can laugh at a stereotype and he thinks I hate women because I prefer them attractive and diverse.

1115, everyone here knows you keep an 8×10 glossy of Rosie O’Donnell next to the bathroom sink in your parent’s basement so just admit it already.

I mean – no ****, this car is only for someones sister on here.

a-nut
try more accent when you say forgetaboutit!

Was all that Armenian stuff b/c u thought I was Armenian? I’ve never even met one in my entire life, it’d be hard for me to be offended…

Rico Suave prefers women like Rosie and calls them attractive and diverse? Is that what they call lesbians now?
You are a janitor JJT there is nothing wrong with that but don’t act as if you have some White-collar job and that you can’t type ACURA
Is that Oldsmobile like your Daddy’s? No its not BC your daddy’s Olds isn’t extinct .
I’m sure that your Civic lasted to 91k when every other Civic is damn near indestructible. I’m sure that you can sell a Ford Tempo instead of the car that has the highest resale value….well second to its cousin the TSX but you get the point.
Wait for your Enclave but when you are on the side of the road with it just remember I told you so. When GM cars prove the test of time then they MAY be worthy of consideration

Don’t sweat it, Obhatti. Autonut is just mad at armaniacs because he gleefully lost his äss-virginity to one of those figfücking fresno indians who then dumped Autonut’s french butt for a tight young illegal lad on the grape farm.

No, Fluffer, not every other ciuvic is indestructable, do you know any civic owners? I’ve known probably 10, and only one has said anything about her car to suggest it’s anything near indestructable. She drove it for 17 years.

Cousin or twin brother?

If I’m on the side of the road in my enclave, I’ll be offerin g assistance to the driver of a broke-down “TL.”

And, like you, I make my money from the neck up. unlike yours, my job doesn’t have a choking hazard.

Long live Tim Hortons!

I actually think this Camry is the best looking one yet. But I do think the interior looks cheese.

obhatti I had no intentions of offending you as an Armenian: being canadien is bad enough.
Ricardo, I’ve read recently that it is equally Arab custom to probe a fellow man on a long journey in desert. Actually in NYTimes there was article yesterday about French boys being fcuked by 3 Dubai gents. Any family accidents? Amorously inclined uncles bothered you?

Obhatti, if you’ve never met an Armenian in your life, then you’re not really qualified to discuss issues of immigration in Canada.

I also never said that all immigrants are terrorists. And to think that the Toronto 18 is the only sleeper cell in existence in Canada is naive. Sleeper cells abound, that’s why they’re called “sleeper” cells. Because they blend in. If you could spot them, then you would be supercop and have medals pinned on you. Instead, you’re on this board singing Kumbaya and championing the old Canadian live-in-harmony mentality from 1992. Good luck!

Whoa I thought we were talking about LLN’s review of the 08 Camry LE???

What color is the sky on your planet, SS4LIFE?

“On the other side of the coin, the Camry’s styling won’t offend any potential buyers…”

I strongly disagree. That interior is hideous. All that silver makes it look extremely cheap. My wife and I were looking to buy either the Prius hybrid or the Camry and were strongly repulsed at the look of the Camry inside and out. I’m a butt guy and the rear end on the Camry really needs to be redesigned. What were they thinking. A Ford Edsel looks gorgeous next to this car.

Fluffer: I’m no racist.
I got no problem with ‘woods, zipperheads, beaners, yard apes, redskins, kikes, limeys, thieveng ****ing gypsies (thanks deantj) or anybody else.

what about maplehumpers?

R-head: Nor maplehumpers, frogs, krauts, 9-irons, eggplants, harpoon-chuckers or ice monkeys

My folks have a 2007 4 cyl model. The cruise control activating (resume) would cause the engine to excel to teh max it seemed, rather disconcerting if you are in risky situations such as around bends or hills. We drove from Maine to Fla last Aug. Smooth car and nice all around, but I fear the CC will wear out the tranny or engine the way it works… Much different from my 90s Subaru with 171k mi.
