Spot on, lol. At most the only other curiosity pulling me about this video having driven a 2001 Camery not long ago. And a V6 at that😎 Interesting what a near quarter-century does for design.
I unironically love Camrys. Both my parents drove Camrys while growing up, my first car was a hand-me-down Camry that racked up 280 thousand miles over its life. The first car I got myself was a Mustang, and after endless repairs and plowing through fuel (and honestly I realized that I'm a car person in theory but don't actually want something designed for performance as a daily driver) I went back to a Camry. It's got great fuel efficiency, it's comfortable, it's familiar, and it's reliable as fuck. I may have other cars in the future, but my primary will always be a Camry.
@@michaelblaes9847 I'm ... enough for a BMW - I wouldn't buy one, because they are junk & my time is valuable - don't have time to be constantly taking a piece of junk in to the dealer to get stuff that wasn't engineered properly fixed all the time.
I have a Camaro SS with 250k and 500hp. Unlike a camry, it's still worth money, is cheap, is the most reliable chevy car, etc etc etc. You are all weak men.
You guys go over so many cars and one thing I would like to suggest is 30 seconds to talk about the "driver comfort" or "driver fatigue reducers". I ended up having a rental Toyota with Lane Track Assist while on a trip and it was such an improvement from other brands that just "help you not move invade" other lanes. I remember feeling much less tired when compared to the same distance traveled with our vehicle. If we want the auto makers to start making our lives better, this is the type of feature that we could highlight when comparing to other vehicles on the same segment. Thanks for all the amazing videos.
They did... you won't hate anything about the ride, but you won't necessarily love anything either. You will get out of the car after a long ride - just feeling "normal". They also kept referencing it as an "Uber" car. I mean if your living is driving all day, and you want your passengers comfortable... that's a taxi/Uber if I ever heard one.
I have a 2013 with 208000 miles on it and it still drives like new. Only normal routine maintenance and it never lets me down. People dog on the Camry for being plain and boring, but I find it plenty fun to drive as I’m cruising past the repair shops I never need to visit. It’s one of the few cars left that is as comfortable to drive as an old Oldsmobile.

The paddle shifts were cracking me up. You are always entertaining to watch especially when it’s a car I don’t care about myself and still watch says something. Great channel fellas.
That’s why I like that the paddles control regen braking in my Ioniq Hybrid, but in sport mode it does actually control the transmission. Though it makes slightly more sense in my car since Hyundai gives their hybrids a 6 speed DCT rather than a CVT.
This is the same in Honda's hybrid lineup and it makes perfect sense. Why Toyota hasn't implemented that same feature seems odd. I have a 2022 CRV Hybrid and I can basically drive the car around town with one pedal driving using the regen paddle to slow me down. It doesn't bring the car to a complete stop but it's a fun game to play to try and time a stop light and get as close to stopped as you can before you have to apply any brakes.

The mid-size sedan market has been shrinking steadily for 2 decades now. It's basically this and the Accord. The rest fight over scraps. The Camry has been the King in this class for a long time (in terms of volume of sales) and these changes should ensure it remains that way.

If you want a regular family sedan that will be the most reliable vehicle on the planet and actually be worth something when you sell it in 10 years, you can't lose. The Camry is likely THE pick in the class.

I think the biggest bit left out is that the base Camry comes with the hybrid standard, gets 53 Cty/50 Hwy (51 comb.) MPG, makes 225 HP, and costs $28,400. Consider that even the regular Prius only gets 57/56/57 MPG, and with 194 HP. That's a pretty good deal if you wish a more "normal" vehicle than a Prius.
I had the V6 for a decade and I’ve had a hybrid for 4 years. Besides missing the occasional full throttle activation on the V6 (which only really felt quick from a rolling start due to limited low down torque) I’ve really not missed the V6 at all. Interestingly the hybrid acceleration from 60mph shows plenty of go at full throttle which I found recently when I took it into the outback and had to pass the double trailer trucks we get out here. It’s a comfortable daily with a pleasant shape to the eye. I have no regrets about picking one for family hauling duties.
I should add that I did 1000kms (600miles) in a day on some of the worst roads in the modern world (we’d had a lot of unseasonal rain in the outback and the roads were suffering as a consequence with large potholes and wash aways) and I got out feeling totally fresh. I also did that 1000km trip with just 45L of petrol (12US gallons)
hybrids also have a lot of low end torque so they feel great to drive in low speed city driving situations, unlike the V6 where you need to wring out the motor to get speed
As soon as I found out about the 2025 being a hybrid I immediately called my dealership for a test drive. I'm so excited for my drive! Great price range too.
I'd much rather watch a video of a Toyota Camry than watch a video of a Ferrari, BMW, or McLaren. At least I can afford the Camry. If I can't afford the car, then any video on it becomes super boring!!
I got one of the first ones in my area. Been driving it for 3 weeks now. I love it. For your eye detection, the reason you couldn't find it is because it's in the driver information center on the digital cluster. Also I'm a taller guy (6'2) - plenty of room and headspace, even for me. Loving this car - you missed a bunch of its features! Toyota's lane assist and such are absolutely needed for long commutes, I leave the car feeling well rested quite often as the car will "self-drive without a destination" for me.

It being a hybrid, I'm pretty sure the paddle shifts are for the brake regen. I have it on my CRV Hybrid. It's only activated when you're NOT accelerating. Get with the program guys! Love your channel!
I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos, between you and Matt Armstrong I get my car fix. I look forward to your videos so much that I want you to track one of my cars!
They went from a good looking sedan with the option of a reliable V6 that's plenty quick, to this appliance of a car. I guess it's a good choice for those who despise driving engagement and going any type of quick; even the new Prius is more fun to drive.
Hoping for a TRD version. I'm not gonna lie but I've always liked the styling of the TRD Camry, even the modern ones. I don't expect them to be fast, just to look sleek and sporty for a reasonable price point.
@@purwantiallan5089 I don't even care about its power numbers, honestly, it's just the styling that I liked most. If you're buying a TRD Camry to race or go fast that's kinda... 😅😂🤣 Know what I mean?
The 8 speed is a mess though. It can get confused at times and it is mostly tuned for fuel economy. A dual clutch or a 6 speed manual borrowed from elsewhere would have probably been better.
@@Userxxx840 yeah but that's really what you buy a Camry for is the fuel economy. Having a transmission unique to just the TRD wouldn't make any financial sense for the manufacturer. If you want a snappier car, the GR Corolla would probably be the go-to
@@johnkonde1975 Why would someone care about 50 MPG vs 35 MPG if they are already paying 30k, woulda rather had a more reliable V6 getting 30 MPG and a sub 6 second 0-60. I don't think i've ever drove a car this slow but the old V6 is faster than my last car (slower than my 2.0T)
Every video you guys do puts the biggest smile on my face I don't even care about the vehicle anymore... This is the only channel that I get excited to see.😊
My first car was a Corolla and my second car was a Camry... While I loved the normalcy of those cars, it always left me yearning for more excitement. When I drove my Camry into the ground, I went out to test the latest Camry hoping for more "new", but just couldn't find it. Maybe one day I'll ride in another Camry again when I call an Uber, but I don't think I'll ever own another one.
Exactly the recipe they're gonna use for the "new" Rav 4. I'd bet it'll have the same powertrain and drive options, subtle exterior changes, improved interior and a $2500 price hike.
I work for a rental car company and when we got these things in i was pretty skeptical. I never hated or loved the previous gen camrys i only ever had a neutral opinion on them: they drive you around reliably (all you can ask for especially for a rental car lmao). But the new gen camrys are some of my favorite cars we have. They have a very decent power to weight ratio and drive really really well in comparison to other vehicles the company i work for buys and its priced very accurately. Dont get me wrong, its not a perfect car, but it delivers on everything you could expect from a regular daily driver sedan (plus its hybrid so you save on gas!). I have the same opinion for the new hyundai sonatas as well.
Subaru Legacy, the unsung hero of the universal Japanese sedan. The Camry awd electric rear motor stops working above 8 mph Subaru is full time awd, the legacy has quite a bit more rear headroom it comes standard with adaptive headlights and a 12 inch touchscreen. All for $29k US. I noticed the average mpg in the video was just under 31mpg, my 2023 legacy has 62,000 miles of Uber driving and I average exactly the same, this is not a hybrid car BTW. Any of the cars you mentioned are pretty good, Camry, Accord, Sonata,K5, Altima but none of them can match the value for money of the Subaru.
They were getting 31mpg in the video because they were driving like crazy. If you drive the Camry with commute-level throttle inputs, it will give you mid-40s mpg. Edit: and the base model of the Camry gets over 50 mpg! That legacy ain’t touching it in fuel efficiency.

Why do people comment about "production quality" on car videos all the time now? Did you just read other people's comments about it and thought you'd copy them or are there a bunch of people out there obsessed with "production quality" more than the actual content of the video? It's like when people obsess over the squiggles of sauce they call "presentation" on a plate instead of the food. Lol
Just finish renting a Camry SE for the weekend. Drove it 200 miles. I thought it to be adequate but a little on the cheap and tinny side. Also hard to get into compared to my trusty Forester. I'd pass on a new one unless I was a twenty-something.
30k king but video car is 40k. I get press cars usually are higher trims but no one is buying a stripper Camry L, normally they go to the LE or SE, and I'm betting the average price with delivery will be 35k for most Camrys
@blakeogeris2494 BMW don't do it (excepts for their recent EVs and Hybrids etc, but I hate New BMWs). Ever since Hyundai created the latest Genesis, everyone is doing it. Ferrari, Subaru, Toyota, Nissan, Renault, Jeep, Hyundai, Ford etc etc.

The V6 is way overrated IMO. Inefficient, not very refined, have to rev it out to get good power, and no more reliable than Toyota 4-cylinder hybrids. This is such a better powertrain for 99% of Camry buyer.
@@jaimeb6873 all good if you like it - I know it has its fans. My comment is based on years of driving that V6 in my wife's Lexus. It hasn't given us problems, it's just an old engine that doesn't offer much vs competition IMO.

I bought myself an 04 Camry a few months ago for $4k with 79k miles (at the time). No other issues other than very mild rust. I guarantee this car will last me until the end of time. 250-300k miles easy. 500k if I don’t push it too hard. It’s going to be my reliable daily while I work on my project car(s)
I bought a 07 RAV4 V6 just to use it for a ski vehicle. Now it's my full-time daily. Sold the BMW with no regrets. It's so nice to never have to fix anything on a car and that's what these Toyota's bring.
You can tell how exciting the car is by their joking and laughter. And just look at the size and thinness of the brake discs tells you a lot about the car.
Thanks for not botching the external design Toyota--and for maintaining that handsome and sporty look Camry has had since the previous gen--especially when comparing to something like the competing accord which got badly clobbered with the ugly stick. I just wish the newer Camry had more performance. The names Camry and Cressida are synonymous with V6 in places like the middle east. It's their defining feature. And something that looks this sporty should also excite with its performance. Last year's Camry TRD with the V6 is looking like the much more desirable and smarter option.
Ok so the fact that I clicked on a Camry video and watched it is 100% due to my loving you two. 😂

I got one of the first ones in my area. Been driving it for 3 weeks now. I love it.
For your eye detection, the reason you couldn't find it is because it's in the driver information center on the digital cluster.
Also I'm a taller guy (6'2) - plenty of room and headspace, even for me.
Loving this car - you missed a bunch of its features! Toyota's lane assist and such are absolutely needed for long commutes, I leave the car feeling well rested quite often as the car will "self-drive without a destination" for me.
How's road noise on the freeway?
@@destroyerofsimps6574 Honestly, I don't notice it at all unless it's something like grooved pavement or unless it's like a motorcycle/car with modified exhaust. I think the volume on the infotainment unit goes up to 70 or something? I rarely have it above 5 - 10 and can hear it perfectly clearly
The Camery is definitely one of the cars of all time
I see what you did there 😅
I think that more accurately describes the Subaru Legacy.
I just want to say that y’all’s videos are helping me through a rough patch of my life.
God speed man
That interior is nicer than $100,000 Teslas.
Biggest cap of 2024. Why is tesla in your head rent free?
@@isaiahlouisb2Tesla interiors are trash.
It really is
100% correct
@@isaiahlouisb2 why are you a Tesla fan boy what they said is true I have been in a few Tesla's and their interior is really bad compared to most cars
0:58 "And we thought that a Camry would be the perfect car."
Yeah, right, I bet that's exactly what you thought 😂😂😂
2:24 "... At least it moves!"
I know one thing though. Previous gen V6 Camry prices are going thru the roof now. Thx Toyota for keeping up with the downsizing trend...
@@TermlessHGW Damn, what engines will Lotus use now?
@TermlessHGW what downsizing, 2,5L 4 cylinder is not downsizing. The gr yaris has a 3 cyl with less displacement and more hp
@@roteroktober360 From a 3.5l V6 to 2.5l l4. That's not downsizing? Yaris is a completely different type of car.
You guys should do vlog type of content with your cars too, after the 'old' top gear and the grand tour, u guys are the best imo. I would be so happy if you guys follow their path. Whole crew is doing amazing job. Keep it going.
Who’s already watched other camry’s reviews but still watch this cux its Throttle Houseeeeeeee❤
Not the car we want but it's the car we need.
Just buy a Tesla
I loved my Camry. It started every time I turned the key, and I got to point A to B in all 4 seasons. It just wouldn’t die XD
The shot of the Camry next to a sign that says "Kelp" is perfect.
Love when you guys go to work out in California, you always pick some beautiful scenic roads and backdrops. Keep up the good work.
It being a hybrid, I'm pretty sure the paddle shifts are for the brake regen. I have it on my CRV Hybrid. It's only activated when you're NOT accelerating. Get with the program guys! Love your channel!
I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos, between you and Matt Armstrong I get my car fix. I look forward to your videos so much that I want you to track one of my cars!
I just bought a 2025 SE Camry! I’m loving it
Thank you guys for cramming so many reviews into this trip. You deserved a day of normalcy.
It’s very car, indeed.
I do like the styling a lot. I think it’s a nice evolution.
It will go down as one of the cars in history.
The "paddle shifters" aren't for sporty gear changes, they're basically for adjusting regen braking for downhill mountain driving.
Is this true?
@@angelgjr1999 No. For some reason people think one brand/ model does it the other brand/ model does it too
They went from a good looking sedan with the option of a reliable V6 that's plenty quick, to this appliance of a car. I guess it's a good choice for those who despise driving engagement and going any type of quick; even the new Prius is more fun to drive.
Toyota used the same formula for their cars for decades and it’s worked so well. I’m a gm fan but I can respect and applaud this
We get a Tenacious D reference at 9:00, and James is like, "c'mon Thomas, no cheesy jokes." lol.
Glad I caught it
No one can destroy The Metal!
An i-Force max TRD Camry AWD with 437hp would be wild
Yeah 💥💥
Never gonna happen
Well thinking and wishful with that but that will never ever happen
@@drunksquirrel2051 why you gotta ruin a fantasy with reality sheeeeeesh
@@andrewjarvis7777 cause real life sucks
James upshifts:
Toyota Camry: eeeeeeeeeh
That was the eCVTs contribution to the review. Drone.
@@cbotten106 was quite aware.
Emphasis on the foolery.
Lmao
Holy cow, Hoist the Colors is awesome! Thanks James!
120k on my 2017 and never had any problems with it! Meanwhile every car around me has so many issues and are newer. Camry life baby!
Hoping for a TRD version. I'm not gonna lie but I've always liked the styling of the TRD Camry, even the modern ones. I don't expect them to be fast, just to look sleek and sporty for a reasonable price point.
Camry TRD version probably gonna have 25bhp more than stock Camry.
@@purwantiallan5089 I don't even care about its power numbers, honestly, it's just the styling that I liked most. If you're buying a TRD Camry to race or go fast that's kinda... 😅😂🤣 Know what I mean?
There will probably be a gr version with a turbo 4 cylinder but prices may or may not break the bank even more so than the gr corolla
The 8 speed is a mess though. It can get confused at times and it is mostly tuned for fuel economy. A dual clutch or a 6 speed manual borrowed from elsewhere would have probably been better.
@@Userxxx840 yeah but that's really what you buy a Camry for is the fuel economy. Having a transmission unique to just the TRD wouldn't make any financial sense for the manufacturer. If you want a snappier car, the GR Corolla would probably be the go-to
The only channel on TH-cam that can get me to watch a Camry video.
👍
I’ve been waiting for this car review! Thank you I’ll enjoy
2025 Camry is 8.9/10.
The most impressive thing about this video is that they managed to fill 16 minutes with content about a Camry. It's a Camry.
I know a channel is great when I will watch it when I have zero interest in the car u are reviewing. You guys are the best
Jack of all trades, master of none perfectly describes this car. Which is good 👍🏾
getting 50 plus mpg while also getting a zero to 60 of under 7 seconds sounds like a master of all trades to me!!
@@johnkonde1975 fair enough
Master of reliability for sure, and that's all most people want
@@johnkonde1975 Why would someone care about 50 MPG vs 35 MPG if they are already paying 30k, woulda rather had a more reliable V6 getting 30 MPG and a sub 6 second 0-60. I don't think i've ever drove a car this slow but the old V6 is faster than my last car (slower than my 2.0T)
@@Knightmare22 7 second 0-60 is pretty sad tbh
damn, how do they know im watching throttle house 🤯
You guys have a great sense of humor. Great channel!
You guys managed to turn a terribly boring car into an entertaining and enjoyable ride. You guys continue to be the best
My 2021 Avalon Limited V6, 300hp, with less than 10K miles and paid off, is doing fine, thank you.
I have read that the Avalon blows out tires for some reason, at the side walls. Have you had any problems with that? I’m interested in a used 2022.
Every video you guys do puts the biggest smile on my face I don't even care about the vehicle anymore... This is the only channel that I get excited to see.😊
My first car was a Corolla and my second car was a Camry... While I loved the normalcy of those cars, it always left me yearning for more excitement. When I drove my Camry into the ground, I went out to test the latest Camry hoping for more "new", but just couldn't find it. Maybe one day I'll ride in another Camry again when I call an Uber, but I don't think I'll ever own another one.
Should upgrade to a Lexus. If your still wanting a Toyota Camry with more excitement.
They always feel numb to me. I find the equivalent Hondas provide more driving enjoyment.
have you tried test driving a GTI?
You should test drive the Honda Accord
I c... you grounded to the ground!
Exactly the recipe they're gonna use for the "new" Rav 4. I'd bet it'll have the same powertrain and drive options, subtle exterior changes, improved interior and a $2500 price hike.
2004 RAV 4 also equally banger like the new RAV 4.
i have 2019 camry 2.5 engine with adaptive cruise control and i really love this car
The Tenacious D Reference is god tier, good shit James.
That's a pretty normal review! I loved it! 🤣
Camry? You mean Crown?
Crown in Japanese but this one won't sell in Japan
Toyota Camry 2025 looks similar indeed to Crown Victoria.
Crown replaces Avalon, while this is the new version of Camry
No it's a Camry. Crown is a different Animal. They are usually FR layout. Look up Crown Athlete and Majesta.
@@KuroRyuu86it’s a reference to a previous video where James and Thomas pointed out that every Toyota is a crown.
I work for a rental car company and when we got these things in i was pretty skeptical. I never hated or loved the previous gen camrys i only ever had a neutral opinion on them: they drive you around reliably (all you can ask for especially for a rental car lmao). But the new gen camrys are some of my favorite cars we have. They have a very decent power to weight ratio and drive really really well in comparison to other vehicles the company i work for buys and its priced very accurately. Dont get me wrong, its not a perfect car, but it delivers on everything you could expect from a regular daily driver sedan (plus its hybrid so you save on gas!). I have the same opinion for the new hyundai sonatas as well.
The Camry in my opinion is the perfect car. And for the price. Best value and quality
Subaru Legacy, the unsung hero of the universal Japanese sedan. The Camry awd electric rear motor stops working above 8 mph Subaru is full time awd, the legacy has quite a bit more rear headroom it comes standard with adaptive headlights and a 12 inch touchscreen. All for $29k US.
I noticed the average mpg in the video was just under 31mpg, my 2023 legacy has 62,000 miles of Uber driving and I average exactly the same, this is not a hybrid car BTW.
Any of the cars you mentioned are pretty good, Camry, Accord, Sonata,K5, Altima but none of them can match the value for money of the Subaru.
Get it while you can! The 2025 is the last year for the Legacy.
They were getting 31mpg in the video because they were driving like crazy. If you drive the Camry with commute-level throttle inputs, it will give you mid-40s mpg.
Edit: and the base model of the Camry gets over 50 mpg! That legacy ain’t touching it in fuel efficiency.
45 thousand dollars for a Camry is crazy.
Done with the COVID excuse. This Camry is still nicer then the Ford 500/Accord.
@@savethemanuals1597 Who is excusing anything on COVID? Post-COVID just means since 2020. If you want to argue manufacturers aren't scalping or putting out worse quality vehicles, then maybe you'd be saying something relevant to his point.
The Camry will last 400000 miles. Stick with your cyber truck. 😂
@@jconner3891 I highly doubt any modern car will last 400000 miles to the point that it's not economically correct to get a new car though...
So far we will have to see .
@@hiiambarney4489 o yes their is. The old Toyota.s doo. You keep up the maintenance they will.
SE trim for me ..❤❤
Looks better than previous gen and definitely looks waaaaay better than the ACCORD onside out
Can’t stop thinking about the Accord, huh?
I think a lot of people like myself had the accord in mind as as a potential next car but then saw the redesign and was completely disappointed in it. @@ajlee6933
@@ajlee6933it is ugly and looks old from every angle
Been waiting for this review for a long time. So glad you guys did this
Dudes! You guys are killing my vibes! I want one over a Honda Accord for sure! They look dull looking and no looks to them at all! But, this Camry is hot! Real hot! I want one in the future over the Corolla Cross that my wife is so badly trying to get me to get next! Not! Thanks for the over all reviews guys! Awesome take! 💯👍🏾
The Lexus at 2:26 getting offended and speeding up is hilarious 😂
That was their camera car taking shots
$41K USD for a spec'ed out Camry is outrageous.
As a normal man with a normal income this looks like my dream car
@LopezZeta Corollas have greatly improved too in image. They even sell a black one with gold wheels now lmao.
I just gotta say guys - your production quality is approaching top gear. I mean really good stuff! I’m a huge fan and will keep watching! bravo!
Why do people comment about "production quality" on car videos all the time now? Did you just read other people's comments about it and thought you'd copy them or are there a bunch of people out there obsessed with "production quality" more than the actual content of the video? It's like when people obsess over the squiggles of sauce they call "presentation" on a plate instead of the food. Lol
@@A.J.1656 Normally I'd respond with a comment of substance but since you're such an absolute fucking dunce its not worth it.
Just finish renting a Camry SE for the weekend. Drove it 200 miles. I thought it to be adequate but a little on the cheap and tinny side. Also hard to get into compared to my trusty Forester. I'd pass on a new one unless I was a twenty-something.
30k king but video car is 40k. I get press cars usually are higher trims but no one is buying a stripper Camry L, normally they go to the LE or SE, and I'm betting the average price with delivery will be 35k for most Camrys
Stripper models are for fleet and taxis/Uber
They don’t make the L anymore. It starts at the LE
I paid $27,500 for a 2024 LE. If you look enough, you can get a 2025 LE for $29,000
Had to comment for the Tenacious D reference
Man, literally same here. Hopped on my phone instantly to say something, cause anyone else who gets a tenacious d reference is immediately my friend.
Made me giggle for sure. 😂
2:24 Noticed that lovely silver LX near you. Is that your camera car?
Well probably it is the camera car.
Probably…they had an LX and a Ranger Raptor with them when they did the Land Cruiser video just before filming this.
People from Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan love Toyota Camry. This car is peoples car in there
I am an enthusiast who loves his SXV-20 and realizes that yes, best selling is for a reason!
Jack black is very happy that you recognize that metal did in fact emerge victorious! Lol great review as always gents, keep em coming
9:03 is that a Tenacious D reference!? 😂
This review was so normal that I couldn’t finish it
The Camry front looks sick… this is the best looking Camry ever
This double stripe headlight fad is getting funny. Everyone is following the herd 😂
Who started it? Lol ..bmw?
@@blakeogeris2494Pfft gotta go more back than that. They didn’t start that. 😂 I remember them ugly Cherokees with the split lights
hyundai@@blakeogeris2494
@blakeogeris2494 BMW don't do it (excepts for their recent EVs and Hybrids etc, but I hate New BMWs). Ever since Hyundai created the latest Genesis, everyone is doing it. Ferrari, Subaru, Toyota, Nissan, Renault, Jeep, Hyundai, Ford etc etc.
@mattyb1624 yea that's right! I couldn't put my finger on it.. yea it's not really good look.. a lot of car manufacturers are having the headlights pretty much at the bumper grill area and having the daytime running lights where the headlights should be
ANOTHER BANGER!
Camry looks like the Gen 7 NASCAR CAMRY.
The V6 is way overrated IMO. Inefficient, not very refined, have to rev it out to get good power, and no more reliable than Toyota 4-cylinder hybrids. This is such a better powertrain for 99% of Camry buyer.
Agree. None of those so called high performance v,6 Camry very really sporty or even fast . Fact is it never really put that power to road.
Transmission sucked
But you’ll get no converts.
I’ll stick to my trd keep telling yourself that 😂
@@jaimeb6873 all good if you like it - I know it has its fans. My comment is based on years of driving that V6 in my wife's Lexus. It hasn't given us problems, it's just an old engine that doesn't offer much vs competition IMO.
Wow - a "normal" intro into a "normal" car review of a "normal" car. LOL for carrying the schtick all the way through. 😃
Also, rock on for liking/using Hoist the Colors - that's a badass track. 🤘🤘
Without question, one of the cars ever made 🙌
Nice shout out to Tenacious D!!!
Is this a test? See if your audience will click on anything? It worked.
at 4:45 I stopped watching the video because it was normal
I bought myself an 04 Camry a few months ago for $4k with 79k miles (at the time). No other issues other than very mild rust. I guarantee this car will last me until the end of time. 250-300k miles easy. 500k if I don’t push it too hard. It’s going to be my reliable daily while I work on my project car(s)
I bought a 07 RAV4 V6 just to use it for a ski vehicle. Now it's my full-time daily. Sold the BMW with no regrets. It's so nice to never have to fix anything on a car and that's what these Toyota's bring.
of the Camry Accord Altima etc lineup...The K5 gets my vote. KIA is really killing it
You can tell how exciting the car is by their joking and laughter. And just look at the size and thinness of the brake discs tells you a lot about the car.
Tenacious D reference was fucking awesome.
But it was just a tribute
Let's go Friday!
Thanks for not botching the external design Toyota--and for maintaining that handsome and sporty look Camry has had since the previous gen--especially when comparing to something like the competing accord which got badly clobbered with the ugly stick. I just wish the newer Camry had more performance. The names Camry and Cressida are synonymous with V6 in places like the middle east. It's their defining feature. And something that looks this sporty should also excite with its performance. Last year's Camry TRD with the V6 is looking like the much more desirable and smarter option.
Man they went from such a unique and cool design for the last revamp, then they did this to it....such a shame
Unfortunately, the vehicle you’re showing does not match your title the car you’re actually showing cost in the mid-40s dishonest media
“AWD…. eat shit Honda Accord”
Classic.
