What’s the old line about imitation being the most sincerest form of flattery? Toyota’s new “Camry Effect” Campaign launched September 14, encouraging owners to share their stories. How about Toyota sharing some of their ad budget?
That Line Sure Looks Familiar

God help me, I can remember a radio spot from visiting my grandma in Coos Bay a year or two before even living here. I’m talking 1984 or such.
“We got just what you’re looking for, and then we’re gonna give you more. AT COOS BAY TOYOOOOOOOOOOOOTAAAAA!”
Hmm.
“Who could ask for anything more? Curbside Classic Dot Com!”
Doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Oh what a feeling, Toyota!
How about ‘you asked for it….. you got it!! Toyota!!!!!
Late 70s??
“Every Camry has a story.” – I sure hope not. Or else pass the Red Bull.
Or maybe we can have a spinoff site: Camry Classics. We can snap pictures of every Camry we see and get to work. Toyota captive vanity press – what a concept. We’ll all be rich!
I guess it’s tough not to take potshots at the guy on top, like it or not. I’ll still take my Chevy, though, no matter how much I respect Toyota. Down the road? Who Knows? I’d still prefer Detroit, if possible.
“Oh, What A (numb) Feeling!”
There.
I actually owned a Camry for a (very) short time. It was a 1986 sedan and it looked really nice from the outside. Interior was pretty good. Slow as anything (automatic). Needed a new cv axle. Easy job right? Not so much as it had welded itself on with rust. I finally did it but after did not want to see it again after. Passed it onto my sister in-law who managed to get into three accidents in less than a month to write the bugger off. Probably not the story they want to hear …

“Every Picture Tells a Story” by Rod Stewart (1971).
Great Album, lots of hits, including the title song. and Maggie Mae.
Don’t worry Paul, your stories are much more interesting!
So does every retired old man who drives one.
Comfortably numb is the Camry tale
