Chinese Camry is sold as Toyota Aurion in some markets(Middle East and Australia but only V6 Variant). Middle East camry is same as US Camry but V6 is not offered.

I'm curious, why post an article about too much lubricant on window switches for cars in China.

Is that really news for "Autospies"?

Yes it is, because it allows the fanboys to come out and say Toyota this, Toyota that, and then the other fanboys will say German car this, german car that, and then the others will say Japanese this, Japanese that, and then idiots will say China this and china that, and next thing you know, theres 100 hits on the website!

Its all marketing...

I guess if the window control system was engineered/designed better the lubricant would not be an issue.

NUMMI had problems with the windows of the Toyota Corolla/Matrix and Pontiac Vibe. The windows would get stuck, make weird noises, and even shatter. The NHTSA received 503 complaints, triggering a recall of 676,747 vehicles.

Additionally, Toyota was too selfish to teach GM how to manage a plant, so they ignored all the signs of quality issues, which led to a complaint by one of its employees.

I guess Toyota found the way, by getting some on their electronics.

And Walmart worshippers think Made in China is the best thing since everyday low prices.

Serves them right. Slave labour = you get what you pay for, just don't bring them over here.
