2020 Camry SE

I finally pulled the trigger and got a Camry for my commute. I kept my Challenger R/T and decided to get something much easier on gas. I opted for the 2.5L which averages 39 HWY. I'd considered a Hybrid but the ROI doesn't pan out. I couldn't see paying $5K more for the hybrid. My math said I may save $100 over 5 years. This Camry has the 8 spd auto over the CVT. It has lane assist and radar controlled cruise control. It's odd for my to drive a car where I can't see the hood.

This one does have Android Auto which seems to work fine. I connected my USB cable, performed the setup on my phone, started PowerAmp, and had sound. The maps and contacts integrate automatically. However, I installed the Toyota App and it broke the Audio. It would show a song playing but I couldn't get sound. Uninstalling the Toyota App fixed the issue. The App kept trying to pair bluetooth which screwed up the audio from my phone. Even if I physically disabled bluetooth from my phone's toolbar, it kept being re-enabled.

Of course it does. You can see them on the front and rear in the picture. I'm hard pressed to find many new cars that don't have them. I understand the design language and the need to break up the continuous bumpers but they could make them functional. They're the only exterior complaint I really have.

I also looked at the Accords which don't have any fake vents. Their hwy mpg is 38 but they have a CVT which I wanted to avoid.

lol yea, I saw them, just messing with you as a tie in to the "Car Design Trends That Need to Stop" post.

You made the better choice, I used to love Honda, but their design has been a bit off for several years. Toyota at least still makes great looking cars.
