Interesting. Does it say which Camry is being used? Not the V6, right?

The video show the Camry had the 4 cyl engine.

Didn't Hyundai do the same thing? Put their fastest version of the Sonata up against the slowest version of the Camry? I'm pretty sure Hyundai/Kia is good enough that they don't have to do this.. I really don't like it - but that's marketing/business, I suppose...

^ HG -

Hyundai's and Kia's fastest version of the Sonata and Optima are the normally aspirated 4 bangers (neither has a V6 and the turbo-4 hasn't made it to market yet).

Don't know whether to label it as an innovation or not
