What I found more interesting its the human nature at its best, check this out:
A few days ago, vasia was so sure that the 2AR was gonna be the engine in the 2010 camry. In fact, he said:
This is almost guaranteed to be the same engine that will be in the 2010 Camry replacing the 2AZ as well. The Camry could see even bigger fuel economy gains with the 2.5L than the Rav as the Camry has less frontal area, and therefore less drag to deal with. I estimate the 2010 Camry 4 cyl will achieve 22/34 EPA (assuming a 4 speed auto). (quote on vasia on the thread below)
2009 Rav4..
Now, well, seems opinions change so quickly haha.
I also do believe the Camry will in-fact get the 2.7L. It seems that Toyota will pair the 2.7L with the 6 speed auto. (quote on vasia on this thread)
Of course, nothing is easier to change your opinion when what u thought it would be, changed completely with a new scenario.
Again, its nothing against vasia (could have been xyz nickname), its just some insight on human nature.
Its like those posts predicting what will happen, or critizing cars because of this or that, but then oooops, when things become different, u easily change the speech instead of being a man and back up what u said before.
Anyway, its all part of the fun, all the speculations. I like that game.
But what makes it even funnier its when u say things about the future so sure and certain, hahaha, oh the human ego.
Once again seems honda knows what to do, they gave the cr-v a 4 cylinder engine only and they improved vastly the 4 cylinder engines of the new accord, instead of toyota for example, which offer a dated engine on the all new camry, an until now will improves engines , yes, until now. Now, saying that toyota reacts to the market, well, thats nothing of remark, nothing as easy as (no matter if it takes a bit of work or time) adjusting to what its actually happening right now! Even GM and ford are doing that, so? ...But anticipating in time, at the future events, at how the market will move, well that is something truly great.
