Replying to: acdii (Apr 07, 2009 9:56 am) First, the low speed torque of those synchronous AC motors is nothing short of phenomenal. So it may just be that torque is being applied but results in wheelspin/slip so quickly that it only appears that no forward drive is available.   Also....The OEM tires are undoubtedly selected primarily for low rolling resistance. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken but I suspect that might also mean relatively low traction.   And while I have no exposure to the actual firmware code, the few FWD vehicles I have driven always seem to activate TC even before I had a sense of wheelspin/slip. But in reality it may very well be the tire selection that is making the difference.

Replying to: acdii (Apr 07, 2009 7:19 am) I believe the 2010 Camry has a switch to turn off traction control, whereas the 09 didn't (for the optional traction control).
#167 of 585 When will 2010 Camry Hybrids start showing up in Dealer Showrooms by djs3 Apr 14, 2009 (8:50 am)
Does anyone know when the 2010 Camry Hybrids will start showing up in dealer showrooms? Some dealers in NJ are saying not until June but I get the sense that they don't know or are just pushing to sell the 2009 Hybrids they still have on the lot.   Thanks!!!

Replying to: djs3 (Apr 14, 2009 8:50 am) Given that the viability of DFI, Direct Fuel Injection, is now well proven technically, and clearly results in a rather dramatic rise in FE, I wouldn't buy any new vehicle, hybrid or no, until the engine is adapted to/for DFI.

Replying to: djs3 (Apr 14, 2009 8:50 am) In LA county, the Camrys are stacking up on the dealer lot. They're not too anxious to receive more inventory, even though the new models have more to offer. One of the local dealers also mentioned that they would not have any 2010 Camry or Prius in their inventory system till Summer.
#170 of 585 Why so dead??? by waltchan Jun 07, 2009 (9:42 pm)
I'm surprised this thread is dead for 2 months. It's a new engine with new 6-speed with better fuel economy, so there should be more anticipation here.   Took a look at one today, and the only change in the interior I dound is there is now a cover for the holder just below the shifter.

Replying to: waltchan (Jun 07, 2009 9:42 pm) Ford Fusion is kicking Camry's butt. Both Hybrid and non hybrid models are selling better than Camry, and after sitting in one I can see why, such a nicer car.

Replying to: acdii (Jun 08, 2009 4:19 am) Not true. Someone can post the link to the actual numbers.

Replying to: acdii (Jun 08, 2009 4:19 am) That all changes after you turn on the engine and actually drive it. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jun 08, 2009 7:18 pm)

Replying to: jacko6 (Jun 08, 2009 2:18 pm) Actually, that's where things go south for me as far as the Camry goes. Outside, its not offensive, but not "pretty" either, like most competitors. The driving experience in the SE V6 and LE V6 I have driven in the past year (the SE was an 07, the LE an 08) were yawn-boxes with lots of power.   The 2008 Fusion SE I4 I drove was much better to drive, allowing for *gasp* steering feel.   If you want comfy and quiet and don't care about actually DRIVING, get the Toyota. It's the better ride, but not the better drive. If you want a car that you'll actually enjoy driving, the Ford is the better of the two (at least pre-2010) by a long shot.
