Default Is Camry this generation's Buick?

Is Camry this generation's Buick?
With data showing the average age of Toyota Camry buyers increasing, is the best-selling car in the United States for eight of the past nine years going to go the way of Buick and Oldsmobile? By MSNBC.com's Roland Jones.

I don't think it's surprising. The Camry is now the incumbent and it's the Hyundai Sonata (and others) that is what the Camry used to be: The less expensive challenger

10 - 12 years ago, it was the Camry that was trying to overcome and displace the Ford Taurus. Now Camry is king and history is repeating itself. Older people buy what they perceive to be proven quality and younger people go for they think the best car at a price point is. I have no data whatsoever, but know several people that have moved to the Sonata Limited because it is the best car they can get loaded for under $25,000.

By the time you ad the 100,000 mile warranty to make it even, the Camry XLE is nearly $5,000 more. Personally, I would still get the Camry, but Hyundai, Honda and Nissan are getting better each year.

My mom test drove an Avalon before getting her XLE. It reminded us both of a Buick.

Camry "old and Stuffy?"

Give me a break - I find it fun to drive - not a boat like a Buick

Ugh...I think Buick and I think gray hair and Centrum Silver (no offense!! )....at 23 years of age (will be 24 in two weeks) I find the Camry still quite sporty and "spunky"....
