Toyota Camry: Stealthy Cruiseliner

The Toyota Camry has been one of the best selling cars around the world with over ten million units sold worldwide. India got its first taste of the Camry in 2002 which although a very good car in itself had as much style and individuality as a vanilla ice cream. But all that has changed with the launch of the sixth generation model.
The thing that gets noticed first up is the radical styling which has given an overtly aggressive look to the car. The interiors follow the radical approach as well. With a metal on plastic two tone theme, the steering wheel looks classy while the centre console having luminescent aquamarine shades accompanied by thin layers of dull silver add a youthful exuberance to the already pleasing interiors.
With a near 23 lac price tag, the car is loaded to the brim as one would expect. There are gadgets galore with the car featuring rain sensing wipers, proprietary 'Plasmacluster technology' for better cooling and HID head lamps which switch on automatically once ambient light recedes below a certain level. The heart of the matter is still the butter smooth 2.4 litre inline four, now pumping out 167 PS with 224 Nm of torque. Radical looks luxurious interiors and loaded to the gills pretty much sum up the Camry. Further aided by Toyotas legendry reliability it's a buy you just can't go wrong with.
