Camry 3.5Q or 300C V6

[dardmc]

i will go with overall package - toyota camry

cheers!

Condo for me.

Oh, two choices lang?

Camry then... simply because it's faster...

you sure the 3.5L camry is faster?... I think it was sluggish. Sentra 2.0L vs Camry 3.5L hehehe!


Anyway, between the Camry 3.5L and 300C ... I would choose the Camry. The interior of the 300C leaves me a bit wanting for more (or less plastic).

There's a delay in accelerator response on the 3.5L and 2.4L Gen 6 Camrys. Same with the older 3.0L and 2.4L. But then there's a chip that supposedly eliminates this delay.

Camry for me. Para ala sakit ng ulo sa piyesa, after 3 years may piyesa na sa Banawe ang Camry. Haha!

[xTrememan]

I like the 300C over the camry... kasi mukhang heavy duty yung looks and has more powerful engine... Its like having an executive sedan with a 4x4 body?! Haha! Ganda talaga ng 300C!

Hahaha... faster of the two... Huge sedan + small V6 equals... merely decent acceleration.

But according to local figures, the numbers aren't that far off.

Hmmm... Bakit kaya nagustuhan ko ang 300C more than the Camry? Im not a fan of American cars and their glorious interior plastics. But the look really rocks more than the Camry. Its not a car that Rowan Atkinson would drive.

The design itself brings a message that you are rich! And its very transparent as well. Not a car that you would expect that it is being driven by a driver. Once the public people will see you in your black 300C, they think that you are a member of a mafia or any mob.

Mob image brings more power and authority. A Camry cannot give that!

I just saw a 300C in Las Pinas with bling! Ohhh hot! hot! hot!

[number001]

The fact that the 300C is being used as part of several taxi fleets in Las Vegas, might actually hurt or detract from its "prestige" image there in the US-that is if the buyer is finicky with associating one's vehicle with a taxi. This is a far cry from the 300's hot car reputation during its first debut, when dealers were sold out before they could get their hands on an actual unit.

[drey]

Yep, but first impression that "prestige" is within the soul of a 300C will always remain. Camry Taxi's also exist and even E-Class Mercedes.

[Horsepower]

One of the few brands that i haven't seen used as a taxi is Audi esp the A8.

I've seen 7-series and S600 as taxis. hehe

OT: Isnt our President bothered about this? Her car being used as a taxi?

Then she starts calling the BOC...

GMA: Hello... Hello...
Representative from BOC: Maam okay na!
GMA: Okay na ba?
Representative from BOC: Yes maam, andito na Maybach mo sa Subic.
GMA: Is the car Heavily equipped?
Representative from BOC: Yes maam! Top of the line features are added!

300C ang pipiliin ko. Sana manalo ako sa lotto.

[ronw123w124]

I'd go for the 300C anytime! mas maporma

I have driven the 300C and it is really more of a cruiser than anything else. Personally, the exterior looks better than the interior. BTW, even if I said the car was more of a cruiser, it doesn't mean the car cannot handle, it can handle well at speed but with some amounts of body roll. Steering was excellent but tended to go to understeer near the limit. A little prodding can get the tail out though.

Moving inside, the dashboard texture/look&feel is fine but the center console to the handbrake area, the silver plastic looked cheap and out of place in a car of this price level. It would have looked at home in an entry level subcompact. It could have been executed better.

BTW, the aircon in the unit tested took around 10 to 15 minutes to get from "cool" to really cold. That might be an issue or non-issue with potential buyers.

Overall, it is not a bad car if you are looking for a "mafia" car. But at it's price level, there are other alternatives with better finishing quality. But if you want to impress the pants (and panties) off the people around you, this might be the car for you.

I own a Camry 3.5Q, for me the Camry is more in style & effiency. But for those who want luxury & power, The 300C V6 is the perfect choice.

[snail]

we have a 3.5Q camry as well. exterior-wise, i'd probably go with the 300C only because its not yet as common as the camry in manila. but since i dont live there, thats not really an issue as there are only a handful of camrys where i live. interior, hands down camry. near-lexus levels of comfort and refinement talaga. the biggest letdown with the 300c is really the interior. i've seen one up-close (have yet to drive one though) and it really feels like you're in japanese econo car at half the price, far from what i expected for a P2 million+ car. cant quite comment on the camry's power just yet, as we're not done with the break-in period. but judging from the few times that i decided to play with it for a bit, all i can say is ang lakas talaga ng hatak. i guess you really cant go wrong with 270hp and 346nm of torque on tap

[drey]

Pareho lang ata sila understeer. :hysterical:
The Camry's pointless power with its FF :duh: and the 300C's weight.

+1 on the 300C's interior. Its a letdown pero all the time ko na may nakikita na 300C sa school. 2nd year college, I think his dad bought him a black one. Swerte naman ng classmate o.

Pero imagine, everyone's head turned around. I can't imagine a 2nd year na papatol sa Camry. I think he would look bad, I didnt see him like a "drayber" driving a 300C. Just a rebel high type of person.

[GerardTagayty]

id take the 300c

[G-daddy]

For practical everyday ride, a Camry would be a wise decision. But for a car enthusiast like me, logic takes a back seat to desire.

I own a Chrysler 300C V6. Below is the tsikot thread containing a write-up I made before I bought it. I also pondered between the Toyota and the Chrysler for a long time before making my decision. I've had my pimpmobile for about 3 months now. No regrets.
