2009 Toyota Camry XLE - Toyota Midsize Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
The Camry is a very refined vehicle, but it's not a sport sedan by any means.

The Camry is a very refined vehicle, but it's not a sport sedan by any means. Very smooth powertrain. The six-speed automatic's manual shift function works pretty well; move the gearshift lever to the left, into the S for Sport gate, then upshift by pushing forward and downshift by pulling the lever back toward you. Your gear is indicated by a digital readout in the tachometer.inline_mediumwraptextright31253190/reviews/editors_notebook/0911_2009_toyota_camry_xle0911_01_z+2009_toyota_camry_xLE+side_view.jpgTrue

2009 Toyota Corolla XRS - Toyota Sport Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
The XRS has a genuinely premium, if not quite sporty, appearance.

I won't lie - a Toyota Corolla with an automatic transmission hardly tops my dream car list.
