A Camry car is said to be rugged Nigerian bad roads

What is the difference between a Camry and all other cars? Mind you there are other brands of effective cars. So why the fixation on Toyota Camry? But I also recognize that demand for Camry may have to do with the price.

An average Camry 199 car can go as low as N900,000 while the Nigerian used type can lower. A Toyota 2002 and 2004 Camry is sold for over a million naira.

So no matter where the pendulum swings, any brand of Camry is still affordable any day. I have also heard that a Camry car is fuel efficient and that the parts are cheap and easily accessible.

If these points above are true, then I see the reason why Lagosians and young people have fallen in love with the Camry brand.
