The new Camry’s 301 hp engine is definitely noteworthy, but all the power to the front wheels sounds wasteful and unpleasant. Would love to see Toyota pull in the Rav4/Sienna AWD system into the Camry. The result would breath new life into the struggling sedan segment.

Yes. Was thinking the same. A well equipped Outback 3.6R is about $38K, and this is $41K; and they offer very similar horsepower numbers. For folks with slower reaction times (ahem, older and or stoners), I think the Outback’s EyeSight system is actually better than anything under $70K, including Volvo’s CityWatch (or

NEWER FIX: go to a non FCA dealer, trade in your FCA vehicle for literally anything they have on the lot. Then live your life like it was intended to be.

Lots of comments here about gas prices still being low @ around $2.75 per gallon. All of these EcoBoost car will “allow” for 87-octane, but to achieve HP/Torque figures advertised, premium fuel is needed. Due to the surge in turbo’d vehicles now, there’s more demand for premium fuel, which is driving the prices way

Hold my beer... did someone say EUROPEAN class, style, AND performance? How about a 6 liter v12. This particular one sold for just under $30K; MT ones may be more or less.

Higher Mileage Acura NSX would be an excellent choice. This one was sold on BAT for ~$25K USD.

So WIIIIIIIIIIIDE. Seriously, where did all the small cheap trucks go? The “new” Ranger is more of a natural successor the 11th gen F-150. Think about this... the “new” Ranger is about 16 WIDER than the last Ranger.

Let’s all get along! Volvo makes cars (and CUVs) that are twin-charged; both a turbo and super charger on one engine... so you can stop all this fighting. Have your cake and eat it too.

The MPV minivan seems like it could be a winner... ~240 lb ft of torque is decent for a family van if it weighs less than two tons. Maybe it as close as we’ll get to the Mazda 5 minivan... Lets put the mini back in minivan.

Aston Martin... for now... until about 2020 when the DBX is planned.

Issue isn’t looks, it’s that Lexus is no longer a value-luxury vehicle. Hear me out - it’s just an expensive okay luxury vehicle (with bad infotainment). The only benefit it offers over a loaded Camry or Avalon is the availability of AWD. If you’re going to be the Japanese Buick, BE THE JAPANESE BUICK. Going in half

Oxiclean yo

Reliable Adventurer... 4Runner or (less reliable, but easy to fix) late 90's Grand Cherokee.

The only reasons I felt “lucky” to get a KIA as a rental was the fact that it wasn’t a CVT (or IVT...)... compared to say a Jeep Compass (ugh vomit). Whichever idiot decided to put in a CVT deserves swift kicks to the groin by every driver on the planet.

The RDX has gotten sooo bloated... like almost gen-1 MDX big. 90's Acuras were so good because they offered high-value comfort and handling. Acura’s value proposition is arguably diminished, and the monstrously sized cars they roll-out aren’t particularly engaging to drive. Acura has been catering to soccer-moms/dads

A GLI SportTrac would have me in the show-room.

If you’re going to give it a Lexus grill, why bother calling it a Toyota?

Grandma’s 4-cyl Camry, “champagne/bile” color, rear bumper dent.

The Subaru Legacy FINALLY has some competition. While I “love” Subarus, the CVTs are total trash and they gave up on the Legacy by also not fitting it with a 2.5L Turbo. The 3.6R is dated and tired. If the Camry and Accord had AWD the Legacy would be toast. The Mazda-6 2.5T AWD is a signal to Subaru that they can’t be

No brainer... you can’t outfit any of the Mazda crossovers with AWD and a Manual, so why would this be different. I’m in full agreement.
