There are plenty of Camrys floating around here but the last 3 years I've noticed a declining trend in how many I see.

Now I see a much more diverse soccer mom car population floating around.

There are A LOT of Kia Optima rolling around and I can only assume a percentage of those are would be Camry owners if the Optima had not come up so much in quality, design, and popularity.

There are so many goddamn Camry's out there that I don't even notice anymore until they inevitably start driving stupidly. The vehicle I'm starting to notice now is the Honda CR-V. Dear lord, how many of these things did they make...Between that and the Accord, Honda has got to be printing money. Not just soccer moms have them either. They are literally EVERYWHERE in Philly.

Hey, I like the Corolla for a daily driver.

Surprisingly the Corolla and Camry have the same legroom almost with the Corolla having slightly more. The Camry is just better at fitting wider people, lol.

I agree though, both cars are very main stream but when it comes down to it, these cars go 200,000 miles with very little maintenance. Hard to turn down when all you care about is getting from Point A to Point B safely and efficiently.

I've personally been keeping an eye on Mazda lately with the whole Skyactiv series and moving all operations back to Japan away from Ford. I'm eager to see how reliable they are after all the reviews that have come in on the Mazda 3. Plus after test driving the Mazda 3, it's a fun little car loaded with options.

At least in the FR-S, I know you are going to be able to take that turn at 60 mph. I don't think many prius owners know/comprehend the laws of physics.

Ahhh but assbag and bad are not the same thing. Unless of course you are a bad assbag driver and then you are a menace.

In the Greater Toronto area, i think the amount of CRVs on the road out number the camry on a 900 to 1 ratio

I doubt the law would care if my car can take a corner at 55mph when the posted speed limit is 40mph. It isn't necessarily bad skill wise, but it reduces ability to react should a deer jump out in front of me or something like that.

Either way, stay cool and if you have to, hit that fucker dead-on. Deal with the consequences after you've safely come to a stop.

No joke. I find this somewhat profound.
