You know, I've been friends for a long time with a Camry person. She's 
had the last four generations of them. And I have to agree--I like each 
successive generation less and less. The last one was the car that made 
me finally understand what everyone was talking about when they talked 
about a 'transportation appliance', but I agree with you that the 
comfort factor seems to go down each time too. But that's a personal 
preference. Clearly she likes them, or she wouldn't keep buying them.

I've liked all the Priuses I've been in, but that might just be because 
I want to like them. Dunno.
