#2 of 92 stats by m1miata Mar 13, 2006 (11:12 am)
Stats on Camry v6 2007 V6 Horsepower: 268 hp Max Horsepower: 6200 rpm Torque: 248 ft-lbs. Not bad, starting at $23,000, with some resale value two to twenty year down the road.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Mar 13, 2006 11:26 am) So? What RPM will you be at when passing a car on the highway? -Loren Replies to this message: blckthree (Mar 13, 2006 1:27 pm) rooskie (Mar 13, 2006 1:34 pm) splatsterhound (Mar 13, 2006 1:41 pm) m1miata (Mar 13, 2006 2:03 pm) rake2 (Mar 13, 2006 3:43 pm) and 1 more... 62vetteefp (Mar 13, 2006 1:58 pm) imidazol97 (Mar 13, 2006 8:32 pm)
#5 of 92 Give me the Lucerne by blckthree Mar 13, 2006 (1:27 pm)
Replying to: m1miata (Mar 13, 2006 1:09 pm) Let's add premium fuel to the Camry to get that 268hp. Let's also be get into a vehicle with less interior room for it's passengers. You also probably don't want to expect any low end torque out of that V6. But if you are looking for a nice vanilla car that blends in with all the rest you just might have something with a Camry. Myself, give me the Buick and it's 4 year warranty and comfort and size and ride and make it a Northstar. Mike

Replying to: m1miata (Mar 13, 2006 1:09 pm) Depends on what stats you want to compare. The Camry has less front head room, less front leg room, less front hip room than the Lucerne. Obvioulsy, the Lucerne would be a more comfortable car for a driver and passenger to ride in than the Camry. Most people don't buy either a Camry or Lucerne for RPM - they want a comfortable 4-door sedan - and the Lucerne is "head and shoulders" above the skimpier Camry in that regard.

Replying to: rooskie (Mar 13, 2006 1:34 pm) Small bit of info. Saw the new Camry. It's ugly. The front end looks like a car mated with a Chinese paper dragon.

Replying to: m1miata (Mar 13, 2006 1:09 pm) Well 6200 in a Camry, 4000 in the LaCrosse.

Replying to: rooskie (Mar 13, 2006 1:34 pm) Ah yes, then the LeSabre used would be quite the buy. Or a DTS in a year or two for $25 to $27K used is a bargain. Actually, if HP doesn't matter, the Chrysler 300 base model is just $24K, though I think that 2.7 V6 is may not be a good all around quality engine by any means. My car I bought back in 1987, the Olds98 Regency was comfortable, but came loaded with problems. You name it, there was something wrong nose to tail. But the gas mileage of that 3800 V6 was not bad, as was that 150HP, for its time. My Dad got a 2000 model year Camry, with a four cylinder for less, or the same than I paid for the Olds back in '87, and it is smoother, more quiet, with better handling and almost zero problems - zero major problems, though it is possible some had sludge problems that year. Actually my 1998 Corolla was a more satisfying car than the 1987 Olds98. Now, I must say the old family Buick built in '61 or '62 was a super car indeed. Very classy LeSabre indeed. As for looks the current Camry and Avalon to me are just as stylish as is the Lucerne. The Lucerne is plain vanilla. The V6 uses regular gas.
