A Peek at the '10 Camry revealed a satellite antenna wart on the roof. That would most certainly be welcome, as the cheap aftermarket-looking antenna provided in the XM radio kit is ridiculous...

2010 ES 350:
What's New: "A mid-cycle revamp nets this midsize, entry-lux 4-dr new head / taillamps, upgraded interior trim, leather front seats with memory function, and rear-seat side airbags. Other changes of note include a VSC cutoff switch, ECO indicator, Bluetooth, iPod/USB inputs, and Safety Connect, plus a revised nav with the new Enform telematics system."
Cool Fact: "Primo ES 350 options include Mark Levinson audio, the Pre-Collision System, Intuitive Park Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control."
Sum Up: "How to pay too much for a gussied-up Camry."
2 out of a possible 5 star rating.

As much as I like my car (new in 4/06) I've always thought the ES is a decent value up to $38k-$40k when new. It's been problem free in that length of time.
Once you get over $40k there are a lot of other interesting choices and maybe not such a great value.
Would I buy another one? Probably, unless something else caught my eye.

This thread is really worthless without pictures. Did Motor Trend actually test the 2010 ES or are they just guessing based on a fact sheet? If they did test it, where are the pictures?

One of the main new competitors now will be the all new 2010 Buick LaCrosse / Allure (in Canada).

I haven't seen any road test reports for the 2010 ES period to this point (and I keep checking). There are no major suspension tweaks or powertrain changes so the car should essentially drive the same as the 07 - 09 models.

AWD - standard remote start - standard satellite radio - 100,000 mile powertrain warranty - ES350 looks = will give a strong look / evaluation prior to my lease runout 10/1/09. It's a Buick but lets face it, ES350 has a Camry heritage and mine stilll has that annoying cold engine tick at 28,000 miles.

I agree the Buick brings quite a bit to the table....I usually buy my vehicles two years old with service records (1 owner) so the depreciation will be much greater.....that means a better deal.
Haven't seen it in person yet...but the pics look promising.

There is no 2010 model yet so there can't be any tests. They were referring to the previous years.

Yup. Probably won't get much more than a line mention in various magazines "What's new for 2010" sections.
