Default Edmunds Finally Admits the 2007 ES350 Exists

Yup, for the longest time they made no mention of the 07' ES350. They have finally correct that in the Future Vehicles section (although they're still calling it a 330).

Now we've all seen the spy shots of the 07' Camry but I can't wait to see spy shots for the new ES.

BTW, Edmunds has a spy video of the 07' Camry on their Inside Line page if you're interested.

Personally, I don't care. I'm just waiting for the 2009 early update to the Camry chassie to go RWD so we can have Toyota in NASCAR. :P

I'm not sure what that has to do with it, isn't the Monte Carlo FWD?

Heck yea! I'm not a fan of the new ES, I definately prefer the 97-01 era. Bring on the new ES!

Of course, I do have an issue with the Toyoto-Lexus model tie-in. Hmmm.

Hard to do anything about it though, they gotta share platforms somehow...

Yeah, the Taurus and the Intrepid are also FWD, but they switched over to the Chargers now. Toyota could have technically been in NASCAR Stock Car racing for quite some time now. They use the Toyota Tundra in the Truck Series racing as well, so why not the Camry..?

something about that rear end doesnt look right. I think it might be that the taillights are really low.

You have to remember that this is a digital rendering of what the car will look like. I too have the same image and people keep asking for it, but everytime I bring it out it's sumarily dismissed. This probably isn't the final form but I'll bet it's VERY close.

The next posts will be a chorus of "experienced" 15 year old auto enthusiasts and general naysayers screaming Photoshop! Photoshop!.........
