I look at it this way - until that Camray was produced, Toyota didn't
have much of a reputation for "quality".

My oldest's Camray slipped on some ice as I was following him to a
friend's house to deliver a half cord of wood - he just kissed, and I
mean as in no paint left on the guard rail he hit and he couldn't have
been going more than 5 mph - $4K worth of damage iincluding a bent
wheel which needed replacement.

They may be quality, but they are still being made cheap.

My youngest son is driving my old '92 Camry. Over 200K miles, no
major repairs other than brakes and struts. Most of those miles were
commuting through NY/NJ rush hour traffic.
