yeah, but the toyota thing was a little ridiculous. They all had the same engines, were all midsized luxury cars, and all looked the same. Also, it isn't really fair to compare a biscayne to a fleetwood.
It's a European design built in Germany. It isn't American whatsoever. Also, it doesn't matter how many Camrys Toyota sells in order to stop selling the Yaris- if the Yaris isn't profitable, they won't sell it. If there's a leak in your pipes, you fix it, and money works the same way.
If they brought the Yaris back here again, I can almost guarantee that a large amount of the profit will come from the GR, as people will gravitate it towards it more than the lower, more standard trims. I think it's completely justifiable why they aren't bringing it here. Besides, we're getting the GR Corolla next year.
Ah yes, the Alfas and Maseratis took all the money that could have gone towards credible Dodge and Chrysler crossovers, and then failed to compete against the Germans. Never change, Chrysler. Unless the creditors tell you to do so. --- Post updated --- To Europeans the Camry is so big that there needed to be an interim model - and the Camry was still too big and fancy for Europe until the current one had to replace the discontinued Avensis. Regardless, we never got the Avalon, Tacoma, Tundra, Sienna, Sequoia, Venza, Prius C, and so on...
the Camry is actually surprisingly big. It’s gotten much bigger over the years that I, an American, would call it a full-size sedan.
The yaris is cheap but is cheap to make too considering it is 18,000 dollars so why would they stop selling it here?
After the low-priced executive car segment died, the midsize cars had to grow to a level closer to the American one to fill the void.
the avalon would hold the spot for Toyota's full size sedan, but I agree, the camry has gotten bigger
The Journey, as near as I can tell, was going after payment shoppers by the end of its life - people who wanted the peace of mind that comes from having a new car with a warranty, but would otherwise have been satisfied with a used car. It's not glamorous, and it means eschewing advancements that internet "car enthusiasts" think are absolutely essential, but it is a valid strategy.
If you think the camry is powerful for its size you have never truly experienced power, my dad has one of these "sporty" ones and its absolutely gutless, zero torque. Camrys in any trim is not powerful at all
I meant the V6 Camry. How powerful is that engine? I know the inline engines aren't powerful worth a crap.
