Sadly, as two of the 3 major Japanese players have gone to unreliable, high-cost CVTs, I'm stuck with either bored-to-tears Toyota, or taking a small gamble on a domestic.
The new Consumer Reports Auto Reliability issue just came out which I read this morning. You may appreciate your Corolla after reading it. I have an 05 Matrix with 205-55-16 tires on it and it tracks very nice at highway speeds. Right now I have Hankook Ventus V2's on the car which also make a nice difference over the oem Conti's that came on it. With rebates I had them installed for $206 from Discount Tire Direct.
While the Camry is a snore-mobile, it would be a comfortable, sensible upgrade, and I would keep that reliability factor. I'd also get the Entune system to give me the built-in nav, as well.
The Corolla is doing a bit better on the highway, no longer a safety risk I'd say, but it still drives pretty poorly.
