Toyota has had the bad habit of decontenting and reducing the quality of interior materials in the even number generations of the Camry: Gen2 (1987), Gen4 (1997), Gen6 (2007). I have leased every generation since Gen3, and I must say that the reduction in quality has been a disappointment. It did not help that the even number generations of my Camrys were assembled in Kentucky: reduction in quality of materials in addition to poor assembly quality was not very inspiring. I have said this before so let me get off my pedestal before I sound like a bitter old man.

ohh... I forgot about that bit. My mistake. I never realised there was a gap between the RAV4 and Highlander lol. Maybe they're trying to fill the gap left by the old Highlander??

Hmm... you know what that means. Start switching to the odd number generations! The Gen 5 was our first Camry and we were pretty satisfied. That car was pretty solid despite taking numerous hits from drunkards and a Friday, 13th hit and other ones. The final blow from a cab did take it down but only because ICBC didn't want to repair it.
