Well, if Toyota can do
Well, if Toyota can do *anything* to spice up the Camry, it would be welcome. I've driven lots of them - mostly as rentals on the road - and every time I drop them off saying: "I'd never, ever, ever, buy one of these. It's like driving a marshmallow."
To be fair, it seems like both the Camry and Honda's comparable Accord have become rather "dull" in the past few years. I don't find either very attractive or inspiring (disclaimer: I'm an Acura TL owner). In my mind, they have become the "Oldsmobiles" of their day. Not that anybody really has inspiring design these days (maybe Cadillac to a small degree). I find it impossible to tell the tail end of a Hyundai from a Mercedes some days; but it's not just boring design that is a challenge to Camry. At least the models you get when renting one are simply dull. Sure, the rentals don't have all the glitzy navigation and stuff, but really, the controls knobs, steering wheel and seating is soooooo 1980.
Oh well; I'm probably not a Camry candidate ever. But when I see how some companies have tried to really push their image - even Lincoln and Jaguar are giving it a go - I wonder if Toyota shouldn't just dump their design team and start fresh. There are only so many ways to resculpt the PlayDoh; then you just have to crumple it up, and start again.
Looking forward to your review after you drive it!
