I guess Toyota subscribes to the philosophy that, if you're dealt lemons, make lemonade.

In their current ad for the Camry Sport Edition (am I allowed to say "Camry" and "Sport" in the same sentence?), Toyota has decided to tackle the issue of torque steer head-on.

Very creative. I wonder if the guy who wrote this has a day job at the White House?

 

 

I'm guessing you'll need an arm wrestling grip to hold onto a 295hp 3.5 VTEC on the '07 TL

 

i think you are mis-interpreting the ad. i think they meant to say that, with this much horse power, you better hold on tight, not to prevent steer spin, but just to hold on tight. my 2 cent

 

I'm quite certain he "got" the intent

 

Taking stuff literally is great, you catch so much stuff like this...

 

Ya' think??

(I put it in red now so you know I'm being sarcastic.)

 

yeah that's going to be very interesting.

 

 

Wow. Torque steer in Camrys.

 

At least they knew to make the steering wheel comfort to make up for it.

 

I thought a tourqey Camry was an oxymoron

:shakehead

What I said was "An Oxycamry is a torquey-moron"


But, serioiusly folks..... the new Camry picked up some ponies to try and stay up with the crowd. Pretty sure it has a 6 speed auto also.

It's like putting flames on a Conastoga wagon. The hard way.

 

i haven't had a chance to drive a new V-8 Impala SS but i bet those things Torque-Steer like a BITCH.

I've driven a CL type S auto and it had a decent amount of torque steer but i can't imagine with a V-8

 

Actually it's not bad as you think, the '06 Impala SS has equal length half shafts so torque steer is less then say a TL or Maxima.
