I drove our 2007 Toyota Camry for 430 miles and it didn't even break a sweat. My family and I drove from Long Beach to Davis, California, to look at colleges for my son. When you're going through the Central Valley on Interstate 5 most of the traffic is doing over 80 mph. We weren't really in a hurry to get there so I set cruise control at 75 and just chilled...
Sorry about the dull photograph. There's not much in the Central Valley to pose the Camry next to. We plan to go to Mount Lassen so the scenery is bound to improve.
A couple of days ago I was in San Diego with the Camry and picked up a rich friend of mine to play some golf. As he climbed in he said, "This is one of the all time great cars." I think he said that because of the classy metallic gray color and the sharp lines in this redesign. I don't feel that the interior lives up to the look of the outside, but this is a great road trip car. Comfortable, quiet, roomy. Big trunk. Good fuel economy. Great range.
