Used 2018 Toyota Camry for Sale near Champaign, IL

The Toyota Camry has always been about getting people from point A to point B reliably. So why does the world need a sporty Camry?

You know that parent trying to be the awkward “Cool Dad”? He tries to force the issue that he's still “hip” or “with it,” but really his primary job is to provide for his family. Toyota may be taking a similar approach in making the 2018 Camry sporty.

The Camry’s main job is to bring you to work, school, practice, etc. Most of its drivers are buying the Camry for reliable daily transportation. They don’t care about the “appliance” references that enthusiasts make about their car, because that means it’s reliably doing its job.

But crossovers and SUVs have become so popular that the sedans that once dominated the market are threatened by their high-riding wagon usurpers. As a result, automakers are left trying to keep their sedans relevant, so the new Camry goes for bold, aggressive styling choices, and depending on trim, an almost sports-car-like approach.
