Hard to believe GM was such a large conglomerate at this time considering it was run (mismanaged) by misfits who didn't see this writing on the wall - Instead of swallowing up Toyota they got into an ill-fated joint venture with them instead, General Motors took their production/design practices that they had a front row seat to learn from completely for granted, then ultimately became the laughing stock of the industry in many ways smh.

I don’t live in the past and very rarely lament its passing. But I do miss people taking time to articulate things carefully. Most people don’t have time for it actually these days. Everything is supposed to be yes/no/one word answers and maybe a sentence at the most. You won’t get anywhere much better past two sentences and that’s only with “patient” people. What next? we resort back to grunts, clicks, and whistles like cave men hunting bison?

@@vj5225 just want to let you know that if they did produce that car it would sell more than the current 'cam ray. Most likely they wouldn't go to the dealership they would stand next to both of them they would see that CGI design car then they would look at the other one that was real seems like it was built in real life. I feel like people wouldn't rather spend their money on the o.g. Camry then a plastic one I feel like they think their money would go far and they be buying a real car. Kind of like how people don't like hybrids now compared to real cars.

84 was rearvwheel drive, bring it back to camry as a option. I hate fwd and live my camry but would prefer it in rwd. Enough of this fwd madness. Put engine in so on v6 plugs and exhaust are reachable without top end being removed. Put trans in the correct direction front to back not side to side. Fwd makes no sense unless you.live in snow area. And still not a solution awd is better. Bring back rwd makes basic repairs easier and cheaper.
@MistahJigglah
@MistahJigglah 19 күн бұрын
While I prefer FWD, it is extremely crappy that unless they think they can sell a million of something, they won't even offer it as an option. It's why most cars look basically the same, and every major brand only offers shades of greys and beiges with *maybe* a dull red or blue. Though, from their lackluster naming alone(RS, LS, 626, M3, A6, etc, etc, etc), it's easy to see that car designers/executives aren't the most creative people.
