The Nuvi is very small and can fit in you pocket and can run on batteries for a few hours if needed.
You can even take it with you on your bike
A new model that is probably too big to fit in a pocket but has more audio options (such as connecting to and controlling and iPod) is the soon-to-be-released new TomTom units.
There will be some new TomTom units later this year that not only control your iPod and can get live traffic information, but will also have built-in Bluetooth to control your cell phone.
I guess I could always have an Eclipse in-dash unit put in something. Seems a shame to pull out a nice new car stereo and toss it, though.
The portability isn't needed. I do residential real estate appraisal and that's why I want the nav, just for work.
When you choose the AUX mode on the stereo normally you can't use the AM/FM radio at the same time.
They only play the MP3s on the device or you can use an iPod with the TomTom unit. Maybe the TomTom unit can also piggyback to a portable XM via a headphone cable, but that wasn't mentioned.
If you will not ever use the portability to transfer the nav to other vehicles or walk around with, then most people will prefer a factory installed unit.
Sorry for the temporary threadjack. This is info I need.
You can get the bigger Garmin with built-in XM, but it's much bulkier than an Nuvi plus you have to run an antenna wire for the XM somewhere.
These newer units read the street names out loud, so you should be able to use it without looking at the screen much other than to input the destinations while parked.
You can use a mount to attach it closer to eye level if you want.
Last year many people had an impossible time finding VSC and side curtain airbags on many Toyota models even though the options list said they were available on those models.
If you go the Toyota website and build the car there you will see what is available in your area. The KBB only says what is theoretically possible based on what Toyota published as options, not what is actually produced and available.
So kbb.com is a better source of Toyota options than toyota.com? Let me know when kbb.com sells you the toyota you 'built' there.
And "get the leather and just enjoy it"? It's a minus here, not a plus I'm cheaping out on. A minus. As in no one wants it in their car when it's 112 degrees out. You have no choice but to cover it with seat covers. Nice use of $2k, huh? Spend another $100 on sheepskin to hide it and it's almost liveable.
Please. Don't make me laugh.
The dark blue looks fantastic.
Did you buy the car from them (or do you work there)? I live in Oregon and am interested in finding a dealer easy to work with. Lithia controls this neck of the woods.
Any comments on the dealership would be welcome. Again, great pictures.
I really like the interior of the 2007, as compared to the earlier generation. For me, however, the exterior is another story. In one word, the front end is UGLY, and the rear end isn't far behind in that department! Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I much prefer the exterior design of the previous generation Camry. It's most likely a design that will "grow" on you, as many are, but for now, I'll look elsewhere.
Have you dealt with them before?
Good prices they have.
Cheers,

A lot of the dealers in my area seem to post the vin number on their websites, but some don't even indicate what model it is. I am looking for information on what you can tell from the vin. Thanks.
Digit 1 - Country Code 4=US & J=Japan
Digit 2 - Manufacturer T=Toyota
Digit 3 - ?? Seems to be 1 for US and N for Japan
Digit 4 - ?? Seems to always be B
Digit 5 - Possibly engine E=4Cyl & K=V6 ??
Digit 6-8 - ?? Always seem to be 46K
Digit 9 - This is a check digit
Digit 10 - Year 7=2007
Digit 11 - Plant U=Georgetown and 3=Japan
Digit 12-17 - Sequence number at plant of manufacture
The Camry's interior looks great at night. I like the blue interior lighting. Much better then last generation's bland green.
You can't tell what Trim or color from the VIN though.
I was hoping to at least be able to tell the series (CE, LE, SE or XLE). Doesn't look like that is possible unless I have missed something.
Saw owners pics at Toyotanation.
Try Toyota of Greenfield, Crown Toyota - Kansas, Dan Porter Motors - ND, and prius chat website.
I have seen 84 month, 100,000 mile warranties bought at these places for $980-995 in the last 2 years.
Toyota list is $1450 for that platinum warranty with zero deductible.
I'm going to buy one after I get my car so let us know what you find out!!!!!!!!!

I am about to lease a Camry 70 XLE with leather package. I would like to know, objectively, if current owners of that models are happy, unhappy, very satisfied, any complaints, any reasons why I should not buy it.
If not what do you suggest for that price ($26,000)?
Thanks.
I think the pic below is bisque. You can't tell me that's ash(gray). I think the ash and bisque are very close tone-wise.
Camry Hybrid
Compare that with this XLE pic, which is ash:
Camry XLE
There is definitely a difference.
97 Civic: 127hp, 2518 lbs.
07 Camry XLE: 158 hp, 3373 lbs.
THANKS for any feedback!
Finally, the Civic's small 1.6L 4 cylinder needed to be revved like hell to make any torque, peaking at 115 foot pounds, where as the Camry's 4 produces a good deal at a much lower RPM, and peaks at 161 foot pounds. If you arent sure what I'm talking about, check out this cool link:

You should drive both the Camry 4 and V6 before you make your decision. I think you'll find the 4 acceptably stronger than your Civic. Naturally, I'll recommend the V6 cause it sure does scoot, and you sacrifice only two MPG- but it just may not be necessary.

Other regions like SoCal, CAT, Boston get vehicles directly from Toyota with only Toyota options available. Each region can pick and choose what they feel works best in it's region.
I don't how noticeable it will be either way.
Noticeably more power will be the V6 for about $2,000 more initially and $10-15 more per month for gas.
I actually would like to avoid leather but it's looking like I have to choose between cloth or nav, and I think nav might win.
The Smart Key is an option, not standard, on the V6, right? I would like that, too.
My husband keeps telling me to get the 6, too. Imagine that.
Even if that applied in reality, that is 300 miles every 10 tanks.
Unless you drive exclusively on the highway, you will notice a much bigger difference in mileage between V6 and I4. Based on other vehicles with same engine (Avalon and RAV4) the V6 users are much less likely to get close to the EPA rated city mileage than I4 users. 17MPG in city driving is common with the V6 while I4 RAV4 drivers have been getting close to the EPA city ratings.
The V6 often meets and exceed the highway mileage on long vacation trips, but who drives only on clear highways all the time?
Obviously, if you actually use the added power the V6 has available, the mileage will plummet further. What is the point of having the V6 if you don't use the power for fast acceleration?
Don't expect only a 2MPG mileage difference even though the EPA mileage sticker says the highway mileage is only 2 MPG apart.
The more stop and go city driving you do, the wider the mileage gap between the two engines will get.
