Test drove a 2018 Camry again and I'm getting 0 to 60 in just 5.9 seconds with the 4-cylinder!

Toyota is now saying 0 to 60 in 6.1 seconds with the 4-cylinder

That Camry is one sweet ride, Rick721. We're looking to get a new car this fall. We're either going with the Camry or the Accord. Can't go wrong with either.

Cheers,

Scott

If it's on the internet it must be true! Just as with high end audio you always need to consider the source!

Opinions from a couple of chuckle heads (aka video bloggers). As for my "opinions", yes this Camry, especially the XSE, is hands down the best Camry ever made (based on styling and the spec's).

Yep......... those unrealistic 'guesses' at those 0-60 times are about good as the comparison of a 3300# car's ride to that of a well engineered 5000# car's. Something about the laws of physics. A Camry is a Camry is a Camry........... I don't care who drives it.

Unless it's the "Camry" that Toyota uses in Nascar...

Last time I checked, I couldn't buy one of those.

Sure you can, just can't drive it on the street.
