February 21, 200719 yr I don't want to talk about Toyota being in America for 50 years...so I'll mention that in the Flint Journal yesterday there was a story about the Sloan Museum restoring a 1953 Buick Skylark...which was built to commemorate Buick's 50th anniversary. The Camry looks fat. Edited February 21, 200719 yr by AxelTheRed
February 21, 200719 yr Better scoop these up while you can, fellas. 50 years from now we'll be seeing someone at a Barrett-Jackson auction pay millions for one
February 21, 200719 yr I left my rat's ass in another thread. Sorry, Toyota, for I have no more asses to give. Edited February 21, 200719 yr by bowtie_dude
February 21, 200719 yr The fact that Toyota refers to "Blizzard Pearl" (AKA: White) Paint as "stunning" only serves to reinforce their reputation as the king of bland. Yawn...
February 21, 200719 yr I don't have a problem with them acknowledging 50 years of business in North America. What's weird is that they chose to make the Hybrid the recipient of this edition. Why didn't they just offer it as an option on all Camry's? That IS the car that helped get them to where they are today in North America.
February 21, 200719 yr toyoda brought (I believe) 6 units to America in '57. They were put right back on the boat and toyoda was shamed from reappearing for 2 more years. Therefore, celebrating "50 years of business in America" will have to wait until 2009. Not that toyota has made a policy of bothering with the Whole Truth...
February 21, 200719 yr I should go out and buy a white Fridge that's celebrating 50 years of being a bland box that keeps things fresh, take some cardboard wheels and then I'd have pretty much the same thing.
February 21, 200719 yr Its hard to make a car cry with MSPaint. haha..niice As for the car, it's a little weird to me that they call it the Toy Camry HYBRID 50th Ed It almost as if they are trying to make it sounds like they have been making hybrids for 50 years... I don't mean to overanalyze it, but it IS a little weird.
February 21, 200719 yr This is the vehicle that the grey-haired set were swarming over at the Toronto Auto Show. Sadly, white paint and all, this car will sell well. Then again, the Smart Car has sold a few thousand in the Toronto area..............................
February 21, 200719 yr As if the Camry in any shape or form is attractive, this one is supposed to be more attractive?
February 21, 200719 yr haha..niice As for the car, it's a little weird to me that they call it the Toy Camry HYBRID 50th Ed It almost as if they are trying to make it sounds like they have been making hybrids for 50 years... I don't mean to overanalyze it, but it IS a little weird. Thats the whole point. You got thier little mind game.
February 21, 200719 yr Ahh, but the Camry was never a Toyopet. It was originally sold through the Corolla channel. The Avalon succeeds a Toyopet, being the fat American cousin to the Mark X, both descendents of the Toyopet Corona's sportier offspring, the Corona Mark II. The other Toyopets sold in the US are the RX350, and the Yaris (sedan shareed with Corolla, hatch shared with Netz).

You're some kind of forum bot attached to an automotive information database.
February 21, 200719 yr I like the interior color. It's not too light, not too dark, and goes great with the dark dashboard. The wheels need to be larger but since this is a hybrid I understand why they are smaller than they should be.
February 21, 200719 yr "wow, I am impressed that toyota has been selling hybrid camry's in the US for 50 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" again, another attempt at a PR snowjob on the American dimwits. truth be told half our country is a bunch of dumbasses when it comes to buying PR spin so i guess this will work. how effing dumb do those toyo pricks make us out to be? GM has had airbags on their cars for like 100 years now. they are made of rubber and there was one at each corner of the car attached to the wheels. Edited February 21, 200719 yr by regfootball
February 21, 200719 yr Better scoop these up while you can, fellas. 50 years from now we'll be seeing someone at a Barrett-Jackson auction pay millions for one Only if they legalize a LOT of drugs, Oh wow, a special edition blandmobile, which is made special by being extra bland. I mean come on, white?
