massdrewski Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My friend who recently purchased a 2008 toyota Camry (2 weeks after I bought my 08' Legacy) Has been ragging on me that I drive a grandma car etc. Iv been looking around the net with no real news on New Car buyer Demographics. I found some forum talking about JD Power but I searched the site with nothing to show of it. Any help for this Legacy drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 A Camry driver ragging on anyone? That's quite rich. His car might be more reliable, but "cooler"? Buy the boy some Depends undergarments for his new ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longislander1 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Tell him to go read almost any review of a Camry -- like this one ("narcotic tranquility"). The auto writers think it's as bland as oatmeal. They've felt that way for years. I'll bet the demographics are the same or older than Legacy.

NSFW Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Seriously though. There's no point worrying about what other people think of things you own. There's even less point worrying about what other people think about what other people think about the things you own. That's just second-degree worthlessness. But if it makes you feel any better, I'm very young and cool and hip, and I'm world-famous in Brazil. And, of course, I drive a Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerboa113 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 a poll on here around the time I bought my car concluded that most of the forum goers were male between 25-40 (mostly in the 25-30 range) I dont know where the thread is but its probably buried and I'm too lazy to search so you'll just have to believe the all knowing darkfox1 on this one srlsy tho.. a camry owner can say NOTHING AT ALL about a grandma car. Put him in the passenger seat and when hes screaming "HOLY SH!T!!!!" when you rip around a turn.. remind him.. you drive a grandma car. srsly my parents are in their 50s and they cant stand my car, they say its too fast and too low to the ground. oh yea, btw, neither I nor the legacygt.com forums are held responsible in any way if you actually rip around a corner or any accidents or legal implications this behavior may have. We are never responsible for anything.. ever..

massdrewski Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I hear what you guys are saying.

Golf4283 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Camry and our car shouldn't even be compared. these Subaru's are sports sedans. a Camry is just a sedan. BTW I'm 22 and an accountant so I agree with the professional car comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hassa Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 What demographic would you fall under? Ghey, 20 something beach cowboy from NE that drives a 2.5i? JK - sorry, couldn't help it....what's the deal with your avatar? You should get together w/SubieCity . Seriously though, why would you give care what anyone thinks of your car? More importantly, why would you give anyone the satisfaction - they are probably just busting your b*lls since they know it bothers you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The only worthy comparison is that the new non-performance camry v6 has MORE power than Subaru's performance model legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf4283 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 yea but its still considered a big sedan. I think the Camry is a full size sedan is it not? Our cars are mid-sized sedans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The only worthy comparison is that the new non-performance camry v6 has MORE power than Subaru's performance model legacy and at 4,420 lbs is quite a porker Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gf2020 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The new Camry is a great car, as is the new Accord. Neither, however, has all-wheel-drive or an available turbocharged engine, end of discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggs753 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I work on Toys.The Camry isn't the car it used to be.Like riding in a sofa.No performance models.Er TRD rims is all.Cheap plastics on the inside.Great MPG's is about the only compliment.
