Doesn't knock my socks off, thats for sure

You kiddin? I think it's pretty hot. I'm not about to go buy one, but I like it. You gotta know that all the new cars are going more that direction in look of the round bulge-like body with some sharper lines liek those headlights which seem pretty much stripped from a TSX.

While I think that trend may wear out kinda soon, I still think that's a pretty nice lookin car there.

yeah - but it doesn't mean it looks good - looks kinda fat with a pug nose. thats how i see it anyway

[BradOwens]

looks pretty good. not every1 will like the styling tho. anybody know what engines will go into it?

Personally, I wouldn't drive off the lot in this unless they installed a set of lowering springs. I hate the Toyota gap! It looks large enough to fit an orange in there.

Overall styling is Avalon-esque. Somebody get to work on a body kit with new front bumper, grill and lower skirt for the rear! It looks like single exhaust in this picture. Hopefully they will have dual on the 3.5L V-6 or enough room for duals. Debadging looks easy except for the famous Cowboy logo in the center. Rats! Molded in again!

The interior is pretty good. From the strangely translated article, (what the heck is Back Hole?) it looks like all models will have standard features like dual auto climate control and rear A/C vents in the console. (Also something about a plasma display. I assume they mean the display in the gauge pod, not the NAVI pictured.)

I really like cubby slot on the side of the console. A place for the cell phone. I thought I saw bluetooth listed in the specs. I hope it features something like the 300N has where bluetooth enabled phones can be connected through the car's speaker phone. (Voice dailing would be good in that case.) Hopefully this little slot will accomodate a power cord.

Just my 2¢

4cyl = 2.4L

6 cyl = 3.5L

I verified both of these with Toyota.

ok i feel like all the new cars are starting to look like eachother..not bad lookin, but i like my solara a whole lot better

I like the style of the current Camry along with the previous style (97-00) better then the new style. It resembles the new Hyundai Sonata....

Exactly, the 3.5 will definately be a welcome appreciation for people looking for power! (so the 3mz was short lived...sad).

The lines in the rear resemble very closely the BMW 7-series fiasco (introduced by Bangle). I guess Toyota hasn't learned its lesson yet ...

[ThatVietGuy]

Reminds me of the older GS's

And dammit, they need to put better rims on

[SolaraBlue]

i like it. looks like a lexus gs/is mixed with an avalon and bmw 3-series. i'd have to see it in person to make a real call on it but from the pix i think its kind of hot. the thing is, its still a camry which means no matter how good it looks its still probably pretty boring to drive. and like "thatvietguy" said, toyota should put better rims on it

[NeFaRiOuS_SLE]

Not bad. Not bad at all in my opinion. Now if they have a V6 performance package....

[Assyrian]

oddly enough, I'd buy it. If I had to compare this to the newly facelifted accord, I'd take the camry.

Wow. I have got to remember not to drive or operate heavy machinery after directly viewing a Camry.
