「接近第一個彎道時的減速感覺有如自動似的,一旦進入彎道後,座椅的側向支撐迅速地包覆起我的身軀,而離開彎道時,檔位的提昇不但像是彈指般地快速,而且還是那種動作極輕細、像酷派爵士樂般地柔順、兩指幾乎沒互相碰觸的彈指,整個開起來的感覺在複雜精密度上提昇非常多。不過如果要我說出一樣最能顯現新Camry相較於前七代豆腐般操控性的Camry的蛻變之處,那就是其煞車之俐落了--完全不再有模糊感,甚至連油電版也變好了,就算你還是能覺查到從電磁煞車轉換到磨擦煞車的切入點。在連續變換車道的測試中,現行的Camry與Accord能明顯感受到車身懶散的晃動側傾與重量轉移,這款新Camry卻像隻狡猾的蛇般地輕鬆竄過--右!直!左!Bam, bam, bam! 方向盤的反饋有著合適的力道,而其平衡感與協調感的進步之大會讓你有種Toyota的研發中心被Audi的感受力潛入的感受。我個人是太含蓄了,不然如果Colin Clive(美國好萊塢著名的舞台劇演員)在此,他很可能會大喊:『它活了!它活了啊!!』 駛回維修區,我從車裡跳了出來,嘴角帶著微笑,胃口也來了,我也就去再找點Kit Kat來吃了。」
在全新的TNGA架構與後雙A臂的加持下,這次的Camry「全新大改款」看來不是說著好玩而已,而是真正的從裡到外完全與上一代不同的全新車款。
本段原文:
Shedding speed approaching the first real corner feels automatic. And arcing into the curve, the seat's lateral bolsters quickly cup my ribcage. Exiting the bend, the upshifts are not only finger snaps but are the subtle, cool jazz ones where your fingers barely brush each other. The car feels vastly more sophisticated. But if there's one thing that most symbolizes its transformation from seven tedious generations of Tofu Camry driving dynamics, it's the brake pedal's crispness. No more mush—even the hybrid is better, although you still detect its inevitable transition to friction-brake stopping. Through a double lane change, the previous Camry and Accord lolled with noticeable roll and weight transfer; this car deftly snakes right through it. Right, straight, left. Bam, bam, bam. The steering responds with sensible loads. Its balance and coordination are so improved it feels like an Audi sensibility might have snuck into the Toyota R & D center. I'm too soft-spoken for the part, but if Colin Clive were sitting here, he might indeed have yelled "It's Alive! It's ALIVE!" Pulling into the pits, I hop out with a smile and now an appetite, so I go hunting for more Kit Kats.

註1:Bam這個狀聲詞我原本是想翻譯為


註2:標題中「級距之新操控之王?」是用來吸引點閱的,至於新Camry的操控性是否真為該級距之首,有待更多專業人士的集測驗證(也因此打上問號)。
