Another Camry. Why? Good question...

[thewizard16]

Well, as I've told some of you, I got another Camry about a month and a half ago. I wasn't going to worry about giving it a thread since I plan on leaving it as the car in Mtn. Home and continuing to drive the white one, but I've spoken of it, so here are some pictures. I got an extremely good deal on it since I knew the dealer and he'd taken it as a trade, which was the main factor in choice, the other factor was that it will be replacing the 2000 Camry, which I never drive (it is only driven by a family member of mine that lives in Mtn. Home and drives very little anymore), so this seemed like a decent choice. Not exciting, I know, but nothing exciting was wanted, or called for, in this situation, just something comfortable.

2004 Camry XLE w/ leather, moonroof, JBL w/6 disc in dash changer, heated seats, automatic climate control, information center, etc.

Front:


Side at angle, in my opinion the angle the front looks absolutely worst from:



Rear angle:


Interior dash:


Interior seats, not a very good picture at all:



NOW, to make everyone a little sleepy... I had company the other night who was driving a 91 Camry. Since I already had the cars out (attempting to clean the garage), we lined them up. We're only missing the oldest and the newest.

Wait... what u sai? 

Niiice... it has leather!

[omicron]

I'm odd. I find the new front more repulsive than yours.

[Eye of the Tiger]

The person above me is right.

[thewizard16]

Yes, the interior is quite nice. The front seats are comfortable, but I'm serious when I say on long road trips I feel like napping... So, I just keep the air really cold. I don't like the car a whole lot overall, but it is nice to drive if I'm needing a car roomy enough to haul a few people (I don't think another person has been in it yet), or I want something that gets pretty good gas mileage for a longer trip that is also comfortable.

The person above me is right.

The person above me is wise.

[thewizard16]

The new front isn't  unattractive when done properly.

^^^The little Toyota emblem is misplaced, and therefore completely ruins it.

[SVT_Power]

the newest gen camry doesn't look all that bad you have to say

[omicron]

I have used my Photoshop skills and eye for detail to improve this Camry. I attended to minor details here and there, to better integrate the front end with the rest of the car.

Yes, but you forgot the wheels and a large Toyota emblem. And some catchphrase that implies it's the best vehicle ever made.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I have used me MSPAINT skillz to move the Toyota Emblem to where it belongs.

i dont know if the front of the car would look better without the little nose part or whatever that continues into the grill

wtf, i just showed you how much better it looks. that whole thing is just a retarded way of making the product stick in your head. it's retarded because they had to do it by making it ugly, instead of making it look good

[SVT_Power]

i meant with or without the thing.

[Eye of the Tiger]

i meant with or without the thing.

you mean with no toyota emblem at all?

[thewizard16]

No, he means that bump on the grille that continues up the hood where the emblem is placed, I think.

in ur chopped picture, that part of the front is gone

[thewizard16]

You really don't see it? look at how the light hits the hood and how the plastic bumper around the grille is shaped.

[Eye of the Tiger]

in ur chopped picture, that part of the front is gone

exactly, it's gone! and it looks better!

[SVT_Power]

how about you do a chop with the metal still in place, but just move the emblem down to the grill

Awesome!

[TheIntrepid]

Niiice!

[Raza]

I'm so disappointed in you. 

[TheIntrepid]

Wizard... what trim level is the 2000? CE or LE?

I demand pics, stat!

Also, the clear corners on your '92 look pretty damn sharp

[cawimmer430]

The Camry from the 80s and early 90s wasn't bad looking IMO. But after that....

[thewizard16]

Raza- I know. As said, it's not my primary. I'm concerned about leaving her with the 92, it's an old car and I keep expecting it to just die, so the car purchased this time needed to be something she'd be comfortable with that I pretty much wouldn't have to worry about. I'll replace that 92 with something more interesting as soon as my personal finances can warrant it. Believe me when I say I've never been more bored/unhappy with the Camry. If you see something especially interesting around the $10k mark, let me know and I'll consider it, but I don't think I should go much higher right now. I have no debt and I'd like to keep it that way.

Intrepid- The 2000 is an LE and nothing exciting. Frankly, I really dislike it. It's the only one without a nice interior, it does at least have a moonroof, but I think the seats are uncomfortable, the dash unattractive, power barely adequate, my list of dislikes goes on. This is the main reason why the 92 is not dissapearing for a newer car yet, I like it much more than that 2000, regardless of age. And yes, I rather liked those clear corners on the 92. I generally dislike white cars, so when I got that one I tried to make it look a little better.

So it's got a 4-banger?
