Her response: they are a pretty good car and they got a good deal. To me, a Camry is about as exciting as a run-of-the-mill refrigerator. And when folks tell you they bought ANY vehicle for reasons that have nothing to do with how it drives....well, I guess they deserve their metallic beige anonymous blob of a vehicle. The only reason to buy a Camry, especially an older one? They are so invisible, you can drive it like you stole it and no one will notice.
99% of the buying public could care less how the car actually drives. Most of the buyers of "high performace cars" buy them for image and not for the performance. They buy the image that C&D and R&T sell them. Even now, Autoweek has become AW- more about lifestyle than actual real cars.
The one percent that care? That would be GRM readers. Generally.
