Did you tell Toyota they aren't going to run the Camry?? Cause they sure don't know that. I think you need to tell them.

LMAO at this whole thread.
The benefits of Golf and NASCAR aren't fully realized until the two are combined. Use the silly little clubs to beat the whale sharks of racing.

Whatever. The "oh it's made in XXXXXland" argument is downright wrong if the car wasn't designed and intended for a core customer base in its country of manufacture. The Camry was designed for Japan, with a side market in every nation of the world, whereas the rest are SOLELY designed for the USA. You won't see a Fusion like ours in Japan.
Man, you really are a complete dolt.

Actually, no. "Nausea inducing" is closer. At least, before I installed the Tokicos and Eibachs. And being able to row my own gears helps a tad, but the overall experience is still diet vanilla. And since nothing breaks and it ain't worth upgrading, things like kids & home improvement begin to fill up the time.

Thought crossed my mind many times and after researching I eventually decided it would turn a traction- and handling-limited car into a diabolical, heaving and pitching, torque-steering monster. Right now, it's 'about right' overall, once I replace those black pool floaties wrapped around the rims with something stiffer. It needs a LSD and a stiffer roll bar & bushings (and subframe bushings & engine mounts) to feel like a well-integrated package with that kind of power adder. And unfortunately, all that won't do anything about the total lack of steering feel ...it's got all the precision feedback of a Class A motorhome.
