BY KEITH GRIFFIN

OK, I’ve become way too much of a car snob. I’ve been spoiled recently by cars like the 2009 Audi A4, the 2008 Saab TurboX and the Infiniti EX35. This week I’m fortunate to have taken delivery of the 2008 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas. So, initially it was tough to swallow the fact that I had to spend a week with the 2009 Toyota Camry XLE sedan. But then a funny thing happened. I spent a week with the Camry and was reminded why this has become the second best-selling vehicle in the United States: there is noth- ing wrong with it. Sure, there might be things you don’t like about it, but there is nothing wrong with the Camry. I had one complaint with it: a lack of headroom because of the power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade. That’s a problem solved by buying the SE trim level. How great is that? Solve a problem by spending less money. That’s my kind of solution. The best thing I liked about the Camry I drove is its 2.4-liter, 158-horsepower,161 The 2009 Toyota Camry has changed so little, Toyota only has pictures of the 2008 XLE sedan available on its media website. lb.-ft. peak torque at 4,000 rpm, dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine.
