Replying to: guntherhops (Jul 08, 2009 4:04 pm) Around town, a V6 won't help you out a whole lot, but on the highway, you can feel a big difference between the current crop of 4-cyl models (160-190hp) and V6 models (240-270hp) when going out to pass at 60-80 mph. BIG difference.

Replying to: guntherhops (Jul 08, 2009 4:04 pm) Most of my driving is highway driving so I view having acceleration and passing power as a safety issue. An I4 is OK for a Corolla or a Civic-type car with a manual transmission but a Camry or an Accord-type vehicle with an automatic transmission is simply too much of a load for a smaller I4 engine as far as highway handling is concerned.   Another way of looking at it is that for $1000 extra (i.e., getting only $3500 for your "clunker") you get a lot more car. For me it's a pile of "found money" either way since my SUV is virtually worthless with more than 200k miles on its clock.

Replying to: acesk8er (Jul 09, 2009 10:10 am) To me, the 4-cylinder Camry is perfectly adequate. The only times I sometimes wish for a little more power is when passing on 2-lane roads, but this is a rarity for me. Most major roads that I use have 4 lanes, and often the 2-lane roads are so hilly or curvy that passing zones are few.

Replying to: mcdawgg (Jul 09, 2009 6:00 pm) Re:   Get a manual transmission Camry, like I did!   I have a really long commute (45 miles one way...) and I know myself well enough to know that I would regret such a purchase. I drove a 5-speed Accord for 7 years and it was a blast on the open road but a real drag in stop-and-go traffic.

Replying to: acesk8er (Jul 09, 2009 10:10 am) Just as today's V6 has the power of yesterday's (last century, really) V8 but with better FE, today's I4 equals...V6. Along with BIG improvements in torque converters.

I'm buying a 2010 Camry LE and don't like the hub caps. Would I be better off getting the Alloy Wheels at purchase, think it adds another $400-$500 or go after market and add my own rims later on. I'd like to get chrome wheels if there not too expensive and I'm not sure how the metal wheels would hold up that I've been seeing on the internet. I'd like the spend less then $200 per wheel.   Thanks, Chris Replies to this message: 210delray (Jul 11, 2009 6:48 pm)
#237 of 570 Any advice on getting a good deal? by jason50 Jul 11, 2009 (3:48 pm)
I have decided to pursue a base model 2010 Camry instead of an Accord. I haven't bought a new car in years, so don't know what has changed since then as far as tactics. Any strategy that you guys used to get a good deal on the 2010 Camry? Any rebates, incentives, etc. out there right now? Also, i went to a dealership after it closed since i didn't feel like talking to a salesguy yet to check out the new Camrys. I noticed the sales sticker on window didn't specify if it was a 2009 or 2010, so how can i find out? Thanks.

#238 of 570 Obama's clash for clunkers by jason50 Jul 11, 2009 (3:55 pm)
Also, i read about this yesterday. My old 97' Honda comes out to 19 MPG,so it doesn't qualify for this clash for clunkers deal. Is there a way to get something from this program? I understand that the government site says to be eligible, you need 18 MPG to get $3500. I am wondering considering how close my old Honda is to the requirement, maybe i can get some $$ for it. Thanks.
