No 2o6, but am I weird for wanting to see Camrys and Impalas built up to do road courses and time attacks more than NASCAR races?

giant_mtb

Yeah.  Cuz that's definitely a Camry underneath.

If you were 206 you would want to see Chinese microcars in Nascar.

It would be weird to see the Great Wall Coolbear distorted to look like a Monte Carlo...

I think it would be interesting to have NASCAR actually go back to using stock cars as a basis.

Please tell me that it comes standard with the 17" stunna rimz; it would only be the right thing to do for a car named "Coolbear"

if we're to take anything from that video, it's that road cars should actually be more like race cars.

I want to know if they used a "show and display" registration to get that thing on the road. I want that Camry.

yes, advertising ... and Omicron is right, the Camry sold here is made in Australia.

Though that picture got to be 3 - 4 years old, now the cab, except being replaced with newer Camrys, have the roof painted with different colour as per the franchise company operating them (red, green, blue, yellow, orange and pink in case of taxis driven by women and geared toward womens or families). Also the number plates are in orange background now

LOL, I didn't read what AltinD wrote above the picture (I usually don't read his posts), so when Omi said they were Melbourne Camrys, I was wondering why there was Arabic on the side.
