Given our sampling of the Camry's strengths and weaknesses, we were at first puzzled about its lack of success in this country. It's our impression that many of these big sedans are usually driven by chauffeurs, and given the Camry's silky ride, quiet mechanicals and generous rear seat, we were thinking that the bosses should be specifying this car more than its rivals. Perhaps it's because the boss does want to drive himself once in a while, and that makes all the difference. If you drive a Camry all your life, you won't know what you're missing, because everything is so pleasantly accomplished. You'll be floating silently from point to point, with the aircon on automatic and David Benoit wafting from the radio But drive it back to back with an Accord or Cefiro, as we did, and immediately you'll feel just how much more responsive and rewarding a big sedan can be. We hope the new Camry, soon to be introduced here, will rectify that situation. While it should retain its comfort and silence, we expect it to be less like vanilla ice cream and more like a strong cup of coffee.
