Toyota Camry is so dear to most Nigerians and the world at large. You don’t need a rocket scientist to tell you why; you can see a lot of them on our Nigerian roads.

If you’re not above 37 years old and you’re reading this post, just know that Toyota Camry is not your mate. It has been in existence since 1982.

Initially, the Camry cars produced were all compact in size, which we can refer to as narrow-body. As time went by, they graduated to mid-size which can be referred to as wide-body.

Over the years, the Camry has worn the crown as the best-selling vehicle in some of the countries they are found. It is a car is known for its reliability.

Below are 16 fun facts about the Toyota Camry

1. In 1983, Toyota faced a very stiff competition from the Honda Accord; they had to replace the aging Corona sedan with the new Camry.

2. The name Camry comes from the Japanese word for “crown“. Which is a phonetic transcription of a Japanese word, “Kanmuri”

3. The first Camry had four-cylinder engine that was capable of coughing out 92 horsepower.

4. The second generation Camry which was redesigned was introduced in 1987. It came with a 115 horsepower four-cylinder, and a V6 engine option followed in 1988.

5. Toyota Camry is liked by many Nigerians. The number of ‘Tiny lights’, ‘big daddies’, ‘muscles’, ‘spiders’ you see on our Nigerian roads will support this statement.

6. In May 1980, Toyota proposed entering a joint venture with Ford so that its Camry would be manufactured at a Ford factory and sold through the sales channel of both brands. The proposal didn’t work out as planned because Ford deemed Camry to be in competition with a model it was developing. The negotiation ceased in July 1981.

7. The country of Manufacture of a Toyota Camry can found by looking at the first character of the VIN; a Camry manufactured in Japan has a VIN starting with “J”, a model made in the US starts with “4” and a model made in Australia starts with “6”.

Toyota Spider is super.

Of all the cars I've driven this Car made me to respect Japanese technology.... sensors everywhere. While playing music on mid or high volume the moment you step on the brake the volume reduces and increases as you accelerate.

This and many other computerized systems dazzles me.

It’s BALL joint. That being said, my brother I share in your love for Spider. I own both 2007 and 2004 models of Camry. When I bought the spider initially and realized the volume change on applying brake and on acceleration, like you said, I was dazzled. I love that technology. Also, the pedal is so soft compared to the big daddy model. I just love that car.
