2015 Toyota Camry - Befitting redesign for a flagship

By -
2015
Another revision of Toyota's large size sedan, the Camry is here, and I'll like to say its a complete and impressive make over. Unlike the 2012 facelift. I personally didn't like the 2012 facelift as it made the Camry look so cheap as something from the other sides of
Asia.

2015 Toyota Camry
In year 2015, the camry got a complete make over. A more premium look than the last iteration. It gained some of the muscular curves that made the 2007 model famous, hence its popular alias, 'Camry Muscle'. These curves were totally dished for sharp and straight edges in the 2012 facelift. And the grill and front view got a dramatic redesign that gives a more welcoming approach view.

2012 Facelift
 The 2012 facelift made the Camry look emaciated as it lost its bold corners. shiny and cheap looking tail lights only made situations worse. I personally prefers Honda Accords corresponding face list to the Camry's. But thank God the model year is over and the 2015 redesign befits a flagship (I don't really see the Avalon as Toyota's flagship as it doesn't have a corresponding rival model from Toyota's competitors). Now Honda Accords edge over the Camry is a thing of the past. Head here for a brief review of the 2015 Camry.

BASIC CAR MAINTENANCE TIPS

I've itemized below some often ignored but very important practices that can be the difference between few and often visits to the repair shop.  Get to know your car You need to first of all know what car you have, what it is made of and what it is capable of. Basic information about any car can be gotten from a good car website on line, but the problem will be interpreting and understanding what you get. V6 vs I4 You can start from knowing the engine capacity commonly given in cubic centimeters (cc) and closely followed by the engine power given in bhp (break horse power). E.g. 1800cc; 140bhp. The higher these numbers are, the more power your engine should have (mostly at the expense of more fuel). So, that you drive a 2010 Honda Accord does not mean your car can drive exactly the same way any other 2010 Honda Accord on the road would. Same model year of cars come with different engines and body trim, hence, different performance. A car will perform well below i

Air Conditioner Fuel Consumption

AC vent In early cars like the 70s Peugeot 504 and other cars before that era when car AC compressors were bulky and not very efficient, it is indisputable that using your car Air Conditioner while driving means parting with some extra liters of fuel.   But we are in an era when car compressors are better built and lighter. That doesn't mean they don’t require power from the engine to be driven as is most noticeable at low rpm like when the car is idling and you switch on the AC. The noticeable drop in rpm is mostly due to inertia. So, your glasses are down and your AC is off so you can save fuel. I bet the only place you are going to save that fuel in today’s cars is ‘in your head, not in your fuel tank’. If your glasses are down and you are driving at speeds in excess of 80km/h (about 55mph), the inside of your car will be working like a big balloon or parachute to pull your car back as air flows in through the windows. This way, the engine will be working harde

POPULAR BUT WRONG

On ‘popular but wrong’, I will be bringing you a few popular opinions on car tech with explanations why they are wrong. Catalytic converter Catalytic converter Indomie noodles On this side of the globe, the catalytic converter has gained a very popular alias - ‘the Indomie’, after Indomie noodles because of the noodles like shape of the converter metals. In other worlds, it is simply called the ‘Cat’. Cat with sensors There is a popular believe and claim that the Cat/Indomie improves fuel economy, I.e. reduces fuel economy.  I say a big Wrong to that. The Cat is not designed to, and so doesn't improve fuel consumption. The Cat is designed to remove poisonous gases and elements like Carbon monoxide and Nitrogen from the exhaust gas. Thus, its main function is to reduce excessive air pollution. It does this by reacting with the gas as it passes through the exhaust pipe. Or more specifically, it facilitates the reaction, that’s why it is called a catalyst. One
