A Sedan Aiming to Bounce Back

This time on the program, the TOYOTA CAMRY, a mid-sized sedan that has sold 18 million units worldwide. This summer it underwent a full model change for the first time in 6 years. Although it boasts huge popularity in the US as the best-selling passenger car for 15 consecutive years, sales have been sluggish in Japan. Eager to revive the sedan in Japan, the CAMRY has been completely overhauled in regards to driving performance, fuel efficiency, body rigidity and design. Can this sedan bounce back? SAMURAI TEAM checks its performance! In addition, a report on Japan's "other" car culture -- the racing game, Gran Turismo. Navigators: Ukyo Katayama (Racing Driver) Peter Lyon (Chairman of the World Car Awards, Motor Journalist)
