NEW YORK - Shaken by the advances of newer, sportier rivals, the Toyota Camry is trying to shed its vanilla reputation. The redesigned 2015 Camry, unveiled Tuesday at the New York Auto Show, is longer and wider, with a more aggressive design. Toyota says it changed every exterior piece but the roof. The Camry has been the best-selling car in the U.S. for the last 12 years, supported by loyal buyers wedded to a dependable family car. But Toyota acknowledges that tastes have changed, and buyers of midsize cars want more style, comfort and performance to go with the reliability. Inside the updated Camry, there are softer materials and a wireless charging system. The body is stiffer and the suspension and steering were retuned for more responsive driving. Even the carpet and side mirrors were redesigned to make the car quieter. Rivals such as Honda, Ford and Nissan were quicker to recognize the changing midsize market, and have encroached on Toyota's dominance. In the three years … [Read more...] about Toyota Camry gets a top-to-bottom makeover

Ratings and Review: For every appealing thing about the 2018 Toyota Camry, something unappealing cancels it out
Full Car Details More Reviews Toyota is tired of being boring, and is trying to convince you its products are otherwise with wild styling and an advertising angle that has featured a Prius pulling handbrake turns and a “Rockford” while serving as a getaway car. Yeah. A Prius. Funny thing is, the latest Prius is much better to drive than the previous version – as in it doesn’t suck. You still won’t spring from your bed in the morning, titillated over the prospect of the morning commute, but you won’t fall asleep despite the grande, quad, non-fat, no-whip, vanilla latte in the cup holder, either. Now Toyota has applied this same approach to the redesigned 2018 Camry. By nearly every standard of measure, the new Camry is better than the old Camry. But despite its stature as the sales leader in the midsize family sedan segment, this opinion doesn’t confer greatness upon the new Camry. Buying a Camry is easy. First, decide … [Read more...] about Ratings and Review: For every appealing thing about the 2018 Toyota Camry, something unappealing cancels it out

8th Circuit upholds verdict, $11M award for Koua Fong Lee and victims in Toyota Camry crash
A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday upheld the verdict against the Toyota Motor Corp. in the case of a 2006 fatal crash in St. Paul. The panel ruled unanimously in favor of Koua Fong Lee, the St. Paul man who said his Toyota Camry malfunctioned, leading to a crash that caused the deaths of three people and his imprisonment for vehicular homicide. In a 2015 trial, a jury found Lee 40 percent at fault and Toyota 60 percent at fault for the collision and awarded Lee and other crash victims $11.4 million. The judges unanimously ruled Friday that the evidence and testimony presented at trial gave a plausible explanation for Lee's contention that his 1996 Camry accelerated while he tried to apply the brakes as he exited eastbound Interstate 94 at the Snelling Avenue exit. The Camry rear-ended a 1995 Oldsmobile Ciera, killing the Ciera's driver, Javis Trice-Adams, and his 6-year-old son, Javis Jr. Trice-Adams' father and daughter were severely injured, and … [Read more...] about 8th Circuit upholds verdict, $11M award for Koua Fong Lee and victims in Toyota Camry crash
