New Team Mascot!

Sooo the '10 Civic EX-L I had, the lease was up. I ended up buying it and selling it to an employee that works for my father. It's in the bodyshop getting cleaned up and I should be able to deliver it in a week or so...

The Civic:







I was pushing to get the new Accord, but it wasn't out yet, I'm leasing it, and there's no way I'm going to pay a premium for an Accord because I "gotta have it" .

Soooo...Hello Camry!

It's a '12 SE Sport Limited Edition. Toyota is making 3,800 in the country in my color between July through November. They only come in pearl white, black (5,400 to be built) or red(5,400 to be built), with all black or black/ash 2 tone interior (The bolsters are a leatherette type of material). It also comes with 18" wheels and Navigation (with Toyota Entune) standard. Lease is cheap enough, 24 months/12k miles, payments in the low $200's after I applied every possible incentive - though I did pre-pay the lease upfront, it didn't make a difference to the price however. Just didn't want to have to deal with another monthly payment.

Drives nice!

Nice looking Camry! I like the new styling cues of the current generation.

Also love that yellow Lotus in the background

I have those. I also have an SRX (wife), the 2000 Astro (hoopdie), 2000 Sentra (another hoopdie), and now the Camry. All of them either registered to me or my company. There's gotta be some perks to being in the car business, right?

Most people would steal them just for the tires as a good set of 18" tires mounted/balanced can set you back a pretty penny. Thieves dont have style standards

Good looking, nice color, and great technology... but I also wondered why they didn't include auto A/C. I see a lot of them on the road. Says something in itself, but I wouldn't personally want to own one.

So is the SE a I4 or V6? If it's the V6 that's a pretty beastly motor.

Thanks for all the compliments/criticisms... As far as the wheels are concerned, I can't say I LOVE them either, but they aren't too bad. I have no idea if they are a commodity in the stealing market, but IMO any wheel that is bigger than the norm to me could be a target for theft.

As far as the engine, it's the 4 cylinder. It's more than sufficient for the car for what it's used for (extra car for the house)

I was also a little disappointed that it didn't come with heated seats or auto a/c, but it is what it is, I won't complain considering how cheap I am paying for it.

As far as the Vagon, even though I opted to not get it this time, I haven't totally counted it out. It could still be a consideration in the future! After experiencing the technology disaster that's in my wife's SRX (Really not intuitive, annoying to use, and the CTS is even worse), that along with the fuel economy were the 2 biggest reasons why I decided against it. Oh and I wasn't ready to spend double what I'm paying for my current car now either..
