Last month I went on a road trip with my cousin, and the car they gave him at the rental agency was a 2011 Camry, which I drove, and also sat in the front and back seats.

The Camry had nowhere near the interior room that my Town Car has (even with the drive shaft tunnel), nor did it have the room that the Park Avenue in our family has.

Also it's not just old people that drive these boats.

The Camry is a mid sized car at best. One could call a minivan a boat today. I got better MPG in my late model Crown Vic company car than my VW Bugs with 40 hp. It's the overdrives that get over 30 MPG.

The only really comfortable small car I have tested in 2012 was a Mazda 3 Touring, not Sport. Tracks very well in bad weather and heavy rain. I drove it at 70 mph (our speed limit) on a lengthy trip, and it had great bolstered seats. I bought one for my daughter in college. We looked at Civics and Corollas; very plain, and not anywhere near as well equipped or rode as nicely.

Kinda off track on here with reviews with China. Thought I would do a comparison vs politics.
