Toyota Camry
P 1.295M (2.4 E) to P 1.68M (3.0 V)
Who's your daddy? The Camry's smooth lines hide the fact that it's a big one. Built for the demands of the finicky
American market, the spacious Camry can seat four adults in the back seat if they're not too big or bitchy. Despite
its girth, it handles commendably and will tackle many an uphill winding road without drama. Recently launched is
the '04 Camry with high-intensity discharge headlamps, LED taillamps, and a smoother bumper and grille. The Boss
Camry is the 3.0V with a 3.0-liter 24-valve V6 with VVT-i and a rompin' stompin' 212 horses matched to a 5-speed
automatic. Leather, auto climate control, power rear sunshade, and 8-way power adjustable front seats are just
some of the goodies of the 3.0V and the 2.4V. What's more, fit and finish is excellent, so no wonder it's often
called the poor man's Lexus. And the trunk is simply HUGE, easily swallowing several golf bags and your daughter's
punk boyfriend. - Andy Leuterio
Grins: fit and finish, more space than you might need, ultra-smooth ride, predictable handling, available
big V6 (yey!), terrific resale value
Grimaces: Might be too much car for people who drive themselves.
The Lowdown: A comfortable, confident cruiser priced a little higher than most.
