there is no way the new camry is a mid size car... it takes up more space than my AU falcon in the garage (a garage designed for the pencil thin or motorbike riders)
maybe considered mid size due to its tiny engine....and a loop hole for people to get cheaper rego but anyways yes i notice that in camry's and in just about any car now..... the roads are advancing + no one giving a toss atitude + not knowing the road rules + everyday distractions = road rage and accidents

The CROWN looks like an oversized Aurion. No thanks.
I do wish we could have had an MX83 Cressida Grande way back when. My dad was only allowed Falcon/Commodores although.

I nearly T-boned a Camry today, after it pulled straight out in front of me without looking. What is it about the drivers of these cars that make them completely oblivious to their surroundings?

There are lots of bad Aussie drivers...yes...but Camrys take the cake. By coincidence, the drivers seem to be non-background Australians.

I'd suggest that Mercedes drivers these days are the real Volvo replacements.
They don't care about anyone else on the road, often lane drift cause they're catching their reflection in windows they pass and treat everyone with arrogance. R |

And across to Volvos.... Got a lift with a friend in his Volvo the other day. He was an knowledgable driver but man was he slow. He'd tuck in behind some slow moving truck on the motorway and stay there for ages with no forward vision. But when he was behind someone stopping at traffic lights he'd leave the braking to the last minute when he'd hit the anchors hard every time. I was sitting in the front pass. seat operating the imaginery pedals all the time. One moment I'd be "go go go....", next moment jamming the imaginery brakes! Typical Ford driver I suppose! |

We need a new racing series - Camrys only so they will disappear more quickly. It seems to be working with the HQ Holden racing series.
