Despite having the same engine size, the Camry powers ahead with its extra horsepower. While just over 10 horsepower doesn’t seem like much of a difference, imagine what that really means. One car is pulled by one horse and the other is pulled by 13. The passengers riding with 13 horses, just like Camry passengers, will feel with the extra 12 horsepower.
The passenger riding with 13 horses is going to feel the thunderous rumble, feeling far more excited to travel than the passenger with just one horse.
