Repost, but cool nevertheless.

To think, the thing already was old with a 190,000 miles. Imagine putting a brand new one to the test!

The Lexus is built to be even tougher too.

Ditto here. Not even The Passion of The Christ compelled me as much!!
to TopGear for putting the Toyota under this true test, and to Toyota for even passing it.

That was amazing! It goes to show that Toyota will keep on going and going and going. My first car was a 1985 Toyota pickup. I gave it back to my dad once I got my Lexus's The '85 pickup has over 280K miles and still runs great. Need I say more.

My family owns 2 old 87 Land Cruisers with the big strait six. Both have over 200k and won't quit. I'm sold on Toyota for what seems to be a long time. . .

rominl you should keep the Camry and see how far you can take it. I'm sure it will last the rest of your life. Sometimes I think about trading in my '96 ES 300 but I am curious as to how far I can take her.
