Toyota Camry or Crown: which fits Danvers drivers?

The Camry fits most Danvers drivers who want the lowest price and the best fuel economy for a Route 128 commute, while the Crown fits those who want standard all-wheel drive, a taller seat and a more upscale cabin for New England winters. Ira Toyota of Danvers sells both, so a North Shore buyer can compare them in one visit.

The choice turns on three things: the monthly cost, the daily commute, and how the car handles snow on the roads around Danvers.
