2002 Toyota Camry from North America - Comments

I didn't buy it, it was my rental car. Drove it for 4 weeks.

I wouldn't spend my money on something ugly like this.

Weaknesses: design, soft steering, lousy stereo system.

I think the New Camry looks like crap.

1. The front end looks squashed. The ugly headlights run way too far up the front fender.

2. The rear overhang is extremely long.It would better suit a Crown Vic. Hello Toyota, have you heard of cab forward? It involves moving all of the wheels out, not just the front two.

I really can't stand the looks of the new Camry.

The headlights are weird. I sat in the back once and I couldn't believe how limited the rear seat headroom is.

How can Toyota sell these ugly cars by the hundreds of thousands? I don't get it?

I am a true lover of toyota's and own 3 of them however I do have to agree with you on the ugliness of the new Camry. I kinda think it looks like the Echo which is another design boo boo! I certainly hope they fire whoever is screwing up these wonderful reliable cars cause I will be buying one another one some day.

I grant that the current Camry is not the most attractive beast on the road, but couldn't you write something more substantive? This entire review seems to focus on the exterior styling, which anyone could judge in one glance. I personally do not buy cars based on appearance alone. I care more about reliability, safety, and performance than the fashion statement I make when driving. I think the Camry is a great car for those who are not so shallow.

How about combination of both?

Practicality PLUS design? It does not have to be an "either or". I love Toyota cars for their durability and performance, but it embarrassing to drive cars like an Echo lets say. They ARE ugly, period.

I, Personally like the design.. Its fresh..and if you don't like the new Camry.. you probably don't like the Lexus 330, since the Camry is based off of that platform.

I really like the design of this car, and I don't think it looks a lot like a Ford Focus. It seems a little ridiculous to comment about nothing, but how "ugly" it is. I think Nissan Altimas are better looking than the Camry, but Toyotas are very reliable.

This may sound weird, but my Camry is a real head turner.

I can't stand Toyotas, but even I do not think the car is that ugly. The quality of recent year Toyotas is highly questionable though, in my view.

Have to agree that the Camry is ugly... I think the new 05 model is even uglier in the back!

If "ugly" is the worst thing said about it, then I think it's doing pretty good.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course, and while I agree the Camry is ugly, it's the recalls, sludged up engines, sloppy fit and finish, anemic performance, etc., which may be more of a cause for alarm!

Just this morning on my commute I noticed two Camry's, a Tacoma, and three Tundra's stranded on the side of the freeway!

I routinely see Camrys and Tundras broken down on the freeway. I also see our neighbor's Camry being hauled in to be repaired almost on a monthly basis.

Did anyone saying boring, potato shaped and uninspired? What happened to Supra styling or early Celica GT's... yawn...
