Looks like a Camry is the GOAT. :-D

That's like 10 millions Camrys and I don't know anyone who's had one.

Looks like the more boring the car, the more it sells, lol. As much as I like the old late 70s G-bodies, they had no cajones back then.

. . . As much as I like the old late 70s G-bodies, they had no cajones back then.

The 2x10 wolmanized lumber or railroad ties that people were using for rear bumpers (GM B-bodies, too) certainly didn't help performance.

Everyone I know has a Fusion but not a Camry. It's crazy to see Ford get out of the car game instead of making their styling competitive with the Camry. If the Camry is optioned right, it actually looks very sporty.

[AutoRoc]

camrymike6996, no it doesn't.

Didn’t the 65 mustang set stupid sales records?

I agree with you guys. The only thing that comes to mind is
what I've noticed when traveling in other parts of the country,
is that there really are differences in what other states (cities)
tend to drive.

That list does not look like a Michigan list.
