Chevy "Calls Out" Camry

Z28Wilson · 2007-05-24 19:24:01

Watch it, my last name is Blow!! :mad: :D That may be true (about enthusiasts vs. average drivers), but I think that is the case with LOTS of different vehicles. There are many, many people out there, most of them women :p, who could not tell the difference between an Explorer and a 4Runner, or a BMW and a Mercedes, or a VW Jetta and a Corolla, or... How bout a Camaro and a Sebring :think:

Honestly, if you took the badges off and showed me those pictures 5 years ago, I would say the top one is the import and the bottom one was the chevy. The Malibu looks much cleaner and a bit more upscale while the Toyota kinda looks cheaper with tacky add-ons glued on.

Not when you see them in person. The new Malibu is a very attractive sedan. I was impressed with how much better it looked at the NYC autoshow.

Hmmm, *if* GM had bought Chrysler..... they could have merged the two coupes and called them the "Sebraro"

I think the Malibu is a lot better looking than the Camry. Only problem with buying lots of Camry's is that Toyota's sales are high enough as it is.... GM will mostly purchase low mileage, used 2007's?....
OR... borrow their sale's associate's Camry's for the day

Ah yes...I remember seeing this in an auto blog somewhere. I think the new plan should be to RENT the Camry's for display, because buying one for each of about 4,000 Chevy dealerships and 430-ish Saturn dealerships would artificially inflate Camry's sales.

My thought? The Malibu is a great car, but they should also offer the test Camry for sale, as Chevy dealerships could sell an additional 4,430 units of used cars

It will be interesting to see how this virtual bar fight plays out between the two brands...

Y'know, an old show had a "perofrmance" cruiser as the main character's main mode of transport. A 4 door Sebring with a cowl induction hood. lol... I thought it was a Camaro the first time I saw it.

The Malibu certainly looks better to me, but the comparison idea is'nt that bad. Just be careful, they might start to sell more Camrys because of this, which as above said, equals more sales for GM!!
