You are not alone,there is nothing close to camry,it’s affordable and durable
Toyota need to work on their SHOCK though,they have one of the worst shock absorbers

JasonScoolari:
My love for CAMRY though. So comfortable and reliable unlike one previous camel called "Honda Bull Dog"

NigerianMan:
TOYOTA SEQUOIA was named after SEGILOLA ABENI AGBON, first Japan prime minister


The only bad thing about TOYOTA is their Shock Absorber, you can change it more than twice in a Year.

Nice.

Going by how Hilux and Hiace were coined, one would think Corolla got coined with the combination of Crocodile and Lalasticlalaa.

8.Camry-Its coined from a Japanese word "Kanmuri", which means "crown".

Toyota automobiles are arguably the most popular vehicles on Nigerian roads. They have become so popular that even a rookie car enthusiast or someone who is not really interested in cars can identify a Camry or Corolla from a distance.

Wait a minute. What do the words; Camry , Corolla and other model names actually mean, how were those names coined ?. We are about to find out !

Let's get started, in no particular order

1. Prius

Its a Latin word meaning, "prior", "first", "original", "to go before" . The Prius is the first mass produced hybrid vehicle, launched in 1997, in Japan.

2. Avensis

This name is derived from the French word "Avancer", meaning "to advance".

3. Supra

It comes from the Latin word "supra", which means "transcending" or "above" . Which can also be loosely translated as "superior" .

4. Celica

Its a Spanish word for "celestial" or "heavenly"

5. Hilux

Its simply a combination of "High" and "Luxury" �

6.Hiace

Just like the Hilux, its coined from the English words "High" and "Ace".

7.RAV4

Its actually an acronym for "Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel-drive " .

8.Camry

Its coined from a Japanese word "Kanmuri", which means "crown".

9.Corolla

A "corolla" is the ring of petals around the central part of a flower. The name was intended to evoke the image of a beautifully styled, eye-catching compact car.
