Did MotorTrend Screw Up Picking Toyota Camry as “Car of the Year”???
There’s a whole lot of smart people in this world. Some are scholars. Some are down-to-earth common folk. Most are not car critics, and the opinions of car critics aren’t necessarily a whole lot smarter than the opinions of down-to-earth common folk (like myself). So, while Motor Trend magazine may have indeed picked the 2007 Toyota Camry as their “Car of the Year”, I don’t feel a whole lot of obligation to get into line with their viewpoint. In fact, I feel a whole lot of obligation to set the record straight. In my opinion, the 2007 Toyota Camry is one of the butt ugliest cars on the road today. It’s not just ugly, because functionally, the ’07 redesign is not as significant as Motor Trend would have you believe, and all the good press that Toyota’s been getting over the last couple months strikes me as a whole lot of brainless twits jumping on the Motor Trend bandwagon instead of looking at the car, driving the car, and actually thinking about it and coming to their own conclusions.
