The Mazda Miata Is The Toyota Camry Of Sports Cars, And Other Automotive Camrys

There are many different kinds of cars and many different kinds of driving. For each of these modes, there is a safe, obvious, reliable choice of vehicle. These are the Toyota Camrys (Camries?) of the car world, and I think I can pinpoint them all.

I'll start simple so that this all makes sense.

The Toyota Camry of Midsize Sedans: the Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry of Track Cars: the Mazda Miata

The Toyota Camry of Drifting: the Nissan 240SX

The Toyota Camry of Vintage Cars: the Ford Mustang

The Toyota Camry of Sitting On The Side Of The Road While You Try To MacGyver A Fix For Your Throttle Cable That Just Snapped Again: the VW Beetle

The Toyota Camry of Trucks: the Ford F-150

The Toyota Camry of Hot Hatchbacks: the VW GTI

The Toyota Camry of AWD: the Subaru Impreza

The Toyota Camry of Offroading: the Jeep Wrangler

The Toyota Camry of Delivering Tofu: the Toyota AE86

The Toyota Camry of Adventure Vehicles: the Toyota Land Cruiser

The Toyota Camry of Getting To Your Squash Appointment On Time: the BMW E30

If you have any more automotive categories that you think have a Toyota Camry of their segment, please make a note of them in the comments below, or just argue with me for fun.

CORRECTION: After much thought and the impassioned arguments of reader jjhats I have come to see that the VW GTI is the Camry of hot hatchbacks, not the it's-so-hot-right-now Fiesta ST as originally reported.
