2005 Camry SE

[technole]

Anyone catch a glimse of it at toyota.com?

It looks like they decided to use the 17' wheels for the Camry SE from the Solara SE Sport and SLE.

The front facia has the Toyota logo centered with a mesh grill, they redesigned SE foglamps, and the taillamps have changed a bit.

yeah, the rims look identical. heh.

what'd they do to the new camry tail lights though? they look hideous now.

true.....the 2004 taillights where better...this one looks wack....

I like the update- the bumper.fog/grill/lights look more fresher and newerand esp the s.wheel changes. I easily see myself wanting to drive a 05 SE v6.

I like the look of it. They made it look more hip for the younger crowd obviously with the better wheels, more flared front lip and cleared out backlights. Smart move trying to get younger people to buy I think because they are the ones that care about all those changes.

It looks really good. The best part has to be the new 5-Speed automatic for the 2AZ though! =P Also the improved efficiency torque converter.

The center console "lid" is better than the current HOLE there... hahaha too bad they didn't put in projectors for the headlights!

Here ya go. I like the tail lights and the updated grille on the 05 camrys. BTW is this post supposed to be in the camry section? O well, doesn't matter..

At a quick glace I think it looks much more like the ES330.

Not bad... i dig the clear red clear taillights

Actually, looking at the bottom pic especially, it looks much like, er.....the 2004 Solara! Damn, we need to keep that separate fellas. Can someone tell Toyota that they are evolving the Camry into, if this evolution continues to take place, by 2008, will be a 2004 Solara. Be careful We don't need to have the Camry sharing styling cues such as headlights and wheels. Soon, people will pull up next to us and say nice Camry instead of nice Solara. Now, before you start jumping down my throat, I know it is a Camry Solara, but most non-enthusiasts do not know this. When I tell people, they are like, "It's a Camry? Really?" Not that that's a bad thing, but there is a a reason why they are two separate models. Instead of dislaiming the Solara as a Camry, I simply say it's a sporty Camry with more style and personality.

Camry = ES = Solara. When people ask me what I drive. I say I drive a Camry. They are surprised when they see a Solara =P

The more Toyota cars that look like Lexus, the better.

Although Lexus is going to re-do most of its line by 2007, so its like a transition going on.
