I can’t use the power in our FWD RX now. Not even when in motion. If that thing spins out at all the nanny forces it to fall flat on its face. A great feeling when you think you have a shot at pulling into traffic, do so just in time to have zero acceleration. They can put all the HP and torque in FWDs they want. The power can’t be utilized. As for the RX, the AWD is only marginally better p, since it’s front wheel dominant. The only one that doesn’t have this issue is the Hybrid. You just can’t rev that engine enough to spin and the electric motors give it more go juice. The public however is overly impressed with HP, so on paper the Camry looks better than the GS.

Not it sure why the Germans can figure out how to make killer RWD and AWDs and Toyota makes everything good into a Camry or Prius. Why not continue to compete with the German makers too. It’s not like they have to start from scratch. The partnership with Subaru has to be worth something if they can’t figure out how to make a real AWD. I guess I’m overly annoyed with Toyota’s latest direction!
