Default 2015 Toyota Camry to Get Aggressive FR-S Inspired Look

Toyota has promised big changes for the updated 2015 Camry and now we can report that the new look will draw inspiration from the FR-S sports car.

Much like the Corolla and Avalon received FR-S-style front-end treatments, the Camry will also make the switch for 2015, confirms a source who’s seen the car.

Describing the front end design as “aggressive” our informant said there will be a large lower mesh grille with the Toyota logo above it. The rear end styling, he informs us, will be more like that of the Lexus ES.

Calling the new look “awesome” he also commented that the interior has received significant updates and has, “much better styling and technology than Accord.”

What isn’t yet known is if the powertrains will receive updates, though our source is not aware of any. Currently Toyota offers a choice of 4-cylinder and V6 engines mated to a 6-speed automatic.

Toyota will debut the 2015 Camry next month at the New York Auto Show.

Not surprising... but I am more interested in the interior's “much better styling and technology than Accord”. I am also hoping for a Valvematic engine, perhaps with idle-stop ignition.

I'm getting very anxious in seeing this. Sounds great.

Cant come soon enough. Needs to step out of it's stale comfort zone and offer what the others offer. Bar has been raised.

Looks nice to me.






But in Australia we don't get the Camry in the V6 trim anymore! Instead if you want a V6 Camry you have to get the very fugly Aurion

Seems you're in the minority because Akio is doing an bigger refresh than normal.
The Camry will look better in and out with the new design.It simply can't look as bad or worse in and out.

sure, Camry needs to be brought in line with their current lineup which looks more modern, especially interior wise.

I always point out how Akio signed off and launched original one as well :P

^There were some spy pics a while ago...looks like it will indeed have that wide lower bumper, and if I recall correctly, LED DRLs.

I read somewhere that someone who has seen it described it that way. I think the Camry will be distinct to itself but follow the overall Toyota design cues. I expect any opening to be less aggressive than the Corolla's. Can't wait til Friday to see.

Well you know, it being the best selling car in the country, his opinion is not the "minority", yours is.
