The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA)
announced today the winners of its prestigious Pyramid Awards
during a special presentation held at the Canadian International
Auto Show in Toronto.

"The winners of CAA's vehicle satisfaction awards were selected
from among more than 20,000 CAA members who took the time to
complete our detailed Vehicle Ownership Survey - the largest of
its kind in Canada," says CAA President David Flewelling. "It is
powerful and fascinating information about Canadians and how they
view the vehicles on the road today."

Once the results of the survey were tabulated, the 1997-2001
Toyota Camry claimed the Overall Vehicle Satisfaction Pyramid
Award for having an average overall vehicle satisfaction score of
8.99 out of 10; an incidence of repair 46 percent lower than the
average for vehicles in that age group; and an estimated repair
cost 27 percent lower than the average for vehicles that age. A
total of 98 percent of owners said they would repurchase their
Toyota Camry if they could go back in time to when they had
purchased it.
