The Camry generation is 97-01, and you used the 02-06 interior.
Also the Malibu was 97-04', not 99'.
With all due respect, Iffy, he used the correct generation of Camry interior. I would know, we have a 2000 in the garage that will be mine.

... the AllTrac was around 600,000km or something, I may be off, when it was sold by my family friend to a college kid a few weeks ago.
My bad. The manifold problem for the 3400 was fixed for the 2001 model year (good to know now), but I don't know a whole lot about the 3100. Our Olds had the 3300, which was a POS.

WHat kind of comparison is this? You might as well throw a Mercury Topaz into the mix as well.
I vote Camry, the lesser of two evils.

Malibu and I am the only one so far. I'll take a chevy over a toyota any day and I like the malibu better, design wise IMO. I don't like either car though.

The odo on my '89 AllTrac nearly doubled that when I last saw it.
The last odo pic I have of it is at 307K or so.

A certain Honda Prelude has 322,000 MILES on it (not those weak ass kilometers :P ). Of course it is on its second engine, but the first made it to about 250k.

Our Astro died with 245,000 miles on the original engine. My car had 159k when the original engine died. If I had to pick between the Malibu's possibly evil manifold gasket on the 3.4 liter engine (which is mechanically identical to the engine in the Venture) or the Toyota appliance-like 3.0 liter engine, I'd have to pick between the latter. I know that the 3400 can be reliable and it's torquey as hell, but the rest of the Malibu blows and is cheaply constructed in comparison to the refri--er, Camry.

The Malibu used the 3100 engine, not the 3400. Platform-mates Grand Am and Alero used the 3400.
