Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / March 20082009 Camrys???
Can anyone explain why the 2009 Camry is out so early? There's been no design change that I can detect, but there they are. That's called the marketing edge, since 2007. > Can anyone explain why the 2009 Camry is out so early? There's been no > design change that I can detect, but there they are. had no idea Toyota would have to resort to such BS in a non-redesign year. Sounds like something Ford would do. I thought Toyota had higher standards, but I guess I was mistaken. I had heard that unsold Camry's were backing up the pipeline, but an early release to bump-up interest is Bush-League stuff. > That's called the marketing edge, since 2007. > >> Can anyone explain why the 2009 Camry is out so early?

They may be making them early so they can close the factory to retool for 2010. > had no idea Toyota would have to resort to such BS in a non-redesign year. > Sounds like something Ford would do.

The first model year of this generation is 2007 released in early/mid 2006. So, there's no major retooling....maybe a facelift, but nothing to prompt releasing a model year 6 months before October in mid-cycle. Must be marketing, getting the proverbial jump on everyone. A real minor-league ploy... > They may be making them early so they can close the factory to retool for > 2010.

How about FordGuy09? :-) Purchased a brand-new Ford Explorer once, that was enough of an experience for me. This vehicle had numerous problems RIGHT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. Years later, I saw a news story that Ford had independent inspectors halt a train-load of new Explorers away from the factories. That inspection was prompted by all the crappy Explorers they were pumping out...maybe HondaMan08 for me. No BS at Honda, just high prices. >> The first model year of this generation is 2007 released in early/mid >> 2006.

How about > FordGuy09? :-) Yeah, the old Detroits were pretty bad. That's why all three are under new management. IMO only GM's redesigned products are worth consideration. Ford is really anemic -- you basically get rebadged Mazdas and Volvos. But even Toyota is moving back to cheap tin cans again. I'll let GM refine the Malibu for a while and get one with the new 6T series Hydramatic transmission. Don't like the audio controls, GM should make designers use iPods and iPhones. > Purchased a brand-new Ford Explorer once, that was enough of an experience > for me.
