SPEAKER: Ask anybody to name the first mid-sized family

sedan that pops into their head and they'll probably

say the Toyota Camry.

The Camry is one of the most popular vehicles in the US

and it's Toyota's top selling model.

And for 2018, Toyota decided to completely redesign it,

and it's the car you see here.

Sleeker, lower slung, the new styling

is anything but vanilla.

And under that new skin is a stiffer

body and new rear suspension, which

afford improvements in both ride quality and handling.

Toyota still offers a V6 engine that

will spin the wheels to the tune of 301 horsepower,

but the base four-cylinder engine is not

only way more fuel efficient, but it feels like a better

balanced choice in this case.

For those looking to buy a 2018 Camry,

we'd recommend going with the mid-grade SE model.

It's four-cylinder powered, and it also

comes with a sport tuned suspension, keener steering,

18-inch wheels, paddle shifters and a goody bag

of other standard features.

We stand by our recommendations, which

is why we got an SE model of our own

to live with over the next year.

Is this the best Camry Toyota has ever built, and more

importantly, does it deserve to keep

its lofty position within the midsize sedan segment?

We'll answer these questions and more

over the next 20,000 miles.
