BizBooks: For some inexplicable
reason, they chose to make it smaller than the 2011 and earlier models.

Despite similar exterior dimensions with the XV40 Camry, Toyota was able to increase the interior volume by restyling the interior panels so that they follow the contour of the exterior panels.

Orikinla: Many car dealers in Nigeria tamper with imported second hand or used cars before selling them to ignorant customers without any warranty whatsoever.

It is advisable to import any second hand or used cars direct from dealers in the US or Europe with warranty like Major World on Long Island, NY. And to stop local car dealers from short-changing people in Nigeria, Major World is opening a direct sales outlet in Lagos through their Nigerian partner.

Armaniswiz: After using
the car for 3 days, it became apparent why Toyota is the number one auto maker in the world.



@op R u kidding me? Since when has Toyota become the numbe 1 auto maker in the world? Bck to topic;it's a big miss especially d exterior, but German autos r far ahead of these Japanese mass-produced cars. Audi,Benz or Bmw all d way.

A-town:


They actually were for a bit. They took over from GM and fell back to number two after the "stuck accelerator" crises in the US.

Armaniswiz:
Ok! maybe in terms of UNITS produced but quality-wise,definitely not.

BizBooks:

No, it's not units produced. It's units sold. Before you come back and say they are not high
quality cars, remember, if you do not produce high quality cars, nobody will buy them even if
you produce 1 billion units.

Armaniswiz:


Rightly said, but affordability doesn't always mean quality. D fact that most people can afford it may go down to many reasons but the overall quality,i'm not saying they r no good but they far from the best.

iykeG: Toyota cars are trash. Give this corolla like camry sometime now and it will flood everywhere, just because it is affordable with cheap plastic interior. All cars are durable and reliable depending on your maintenance culture. I will better go for Honda or Nissan if I want to drive a Japanese. Though have used accord. However the fact that some people have not had opportunity to drive a German car does not make Toyota the best "auto maker" in the world. Just test drive a 2006 VW jetta and you will see what I am talking about.

Flyboy Zee: I think the reduction in size seems to be an in-thing (fad) now in the auto industry. I used to love the preceeding generation of the Hyundai Sonata, because of its size, especially the length. Oh my! I love long cars. But the current generation Hyundai Sonata was so small I initially thought it was an Honda. It won't be surprising therefore if major auto giants follow the fad to cash in on the market with the supposed success of the current 'rejuvenated' Hyundai models. But, what I'm not really cool about is why are they making big cars smaller, when they have smaller cars that can be remodelled?

Maybe this their madness of smaller size would end ASAP, because I'm already missing my long birds.

I've got good news for you Mr Long Cars Lover: Forget Hyundai, Honda & Toyota. The likes of the S550 are still available in Showrooms

Somatic: Exterior: Miss. Looks too much like a corolla or one of these Subarus. Ugly with misplaced chrome. No 'federal' presence.
Interior: Hit. Massive upgrade from the bland and starkly plastic 2007-2011 interior even on the LE models. Has a luxurious feel to it.
Imho, save the interior, this may just be another big?for nothing. The interlude that makes one appreciate the older model whilst expecting something better from Toyota.
