2020 Toyota Camry TRD

Zoren 370 · 03-29-2020, 11:17 AM

Found a daily driver that feeds my fancy for speed, sports car sound with 4 doors and can haul a family of 5.

3 Things you look for a Sports Car. 1. Fast 2. Reliable 3. Affordable

Toyota bag the grandma Camry to a Sports Sedan!

I wish it has better bolstering of the seats to make it complete.
Same v6 engine with the Lotus Evora minus the supercharger!

Great choice.

Someone on the 4C forum bought one a few months back as a DD. He loves his.

Enjoy it!

Zoren 370 · 03-29-2020, 04:21 PM

Im loving it too... cheapest way to get into a V6 Camry with added TRD suspension set up and aero kit.

Toyota leaves everything to aftermarket tuning and Supercharging!

Same engine in a Lotus Evora.

Fun car! I love the rear spoiler not for Downforce since its front wheel.
Trd said it for stability. Whatever!!!

But not too ricey my opinion! Well done.

I saw one for the first time the other day and I did like the looks. It looks almost Acura-ish from the front

Toyota did a good job in putting this up. Cheapest way to get the V6.

4K cheaper than the XSE.

XSE....Leave the tech updates and interior features to the grandma.

The TRD is for the boys!

Well maybe Lexus-ish not Acura!

But thats my opinion. Either way man if you get a chance get this TRD

Only 6.5K units production in the US

I would have picked the KIA Stinger GT instead, at least it's not a Failed Wheel Drive

Kia Stinger and the Camry TRD

Are no apples to apples comparison.

But I would hate be found dead driving a Kia.

Dont get me wrong They are nice cars with great reviews but not for 45K to 50K price point.

I’ll get kia Soul for less 10k used... and beat it till it screams
Banzai!!!

cossie1600 · 04-21-2020, 08:26 PM

Wait what, the Camry is 45K?

Nevermind, the Kia you meant

They're comparable as mid-size sedans (Stinger is actually a 5-door hatchback). Priced roughly the same after discount (got my '18 GT RWD with a discount of 23% MSRP). I can't do FWD (and most AWD) anymore, it pisses me off.

The only downfall with Stinger is its own brand, most people are like you when it comes to Stinger. If you ever read about the people behind Stinger development and if you ever drove one, you might understand why I have said that it's a German car.

Is it just me or does anyone else pronounce TRD as "turd" in their head? I just can't wrap my head around buying a Toyota "turd"

I highly doubt you got your 18 Stinger at 31K out the door!

If you did...that proves my point Kia would never keep a dime of their resale value. Thats why people dont like them specially to people who change cars every 2-3 years.

Hey I wouldn't argue with your last statement Kia hired the top designers and engineers of BMW to design the Stinger! Thats a fact. I dont need to drive ...I know its one of the best performing cars out there.

But for Kia to give you a 23% off msrp pre pandemic situation? I’ll be concerned.

But if you value your investment ( hard earned money)would you put your money on a Rolex or a Seiko watch?

Its not I hate the Kia brand..,Like I said Im actually considering of buying my daughter a kia Soul or mini cooper for less than 10K.

But I wouldn’t invest my 50K on a Kia stinger! Unless you plan to keep it till the life of the car..then you did hit Gold!
