The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Polishing the gold standard.
By Marcia Ruff, NewCarTestDrive.com
The Camry redesign had a secondary goal of wringing cost out wherever possible. The yen strengthened dramatically during the car's development period, and saving money was imperative to keep the Camry within reach of American buyers. Surprisingly, we can't see any cheapening. Many changes are even improvements. The new bumpers, for example, are cheaper to build and install yet protect up to 5 mph instead of 2.5 mph, as before. However, it's not easy to see the savings on the Camry's window sticker. The company says new Camrys are 3% to 4% cheaper than comparably equipped 1996 models. That may be technically true, but it is largely because antilock brakes are now mostly standard instead of mostly optional at a relatively high $1100. Nevertheless, the new Camry is just what Toyota set out to achieve: more of everything but still a Camry. It is more refined, better handling, roomier and better equipped. The Camry holds its resale value well, and its reliability means you probably won't have to see much of your dealer until it's time for a new one. |
|
Overview:
|
Among ordinary cars, sales leap after a redesign and then gradually decline as the new becomes familiar and other, more exciting models catch the public's eye. Not so the Camry. Last year--the final year for a five-year-old design--Toyota sold more Camrys than ever before. Thanks to its status as the benchmark among family sedans, the Camry manages to sustain ever-increasing sales, even with a comparatively steep pricetag. The Camry's virtues have included bulletproof reliability, excellent fit and finish, and a comfortable, quiet interior. Its performance has never stirred the soul, but it has been predictable and precise. In redesigning the car, Toyota had no interest in tinkering with the formula. Its goal was to enhance the car's features without changing its fundamental nature. In this, the company has succeeded. The new Camry is slightly bigger and slightly more powerful, with an all-new exterior and interior, a longer list of safety and convenience features and more refined ride and handling.
