wgscott Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 My 4 cylinder 2010 Camry gets worse mileage (19 mpg) than my six cylinder Toyota Emasculator minivan. This leads me to perhaps unwarranted skepticism. Oh, and its factory audio system is amongst the worst I have ever experienced. Link to comment

In real world driving yes, but not on the artificial EPA tests which is was the design purpose of your too-small engine. The trend shows no sign of abating, though Toyota is keeping a 6 cylinder option for the Camry in the latest update when even Honda is going to less fuel efficient too-small-turbo-4... It is yet another reason to buy a 2.5 ton truck with a real engine. Hey MQA, if it is not all $voodoo$, show us the math! Link to comment
