This I don't get at all. There is nothing different in the interior other than minor tweaks here and there and the new steering wheel. What makes it "look tacky" that wouldn't have "looked tacky" before? lol

I like the new styling though, I'll be trading in for sure. But not for the 200! The FSport better come with the fancy gauges.. cause that one looks cheap.
You know what the 200 has that the others don't? Tuner potential. Turn a **** here and there, add piggyback ecu and bam, 300hp with less weight.

This is by far the ugliest front on the road, and this is coming from an owner of the previous gen camry. Its crazy because there a million of them on the road everywhere already.
but this thing is absolutely atrocious man. It looks like a catfish after u pull the hook out of its mouth
Too much grill imo, front bumper is 89% grill....


Try this: cover the grill with your hand, looks amazing doesnt it

Did they really need to link the side vent to the headlight? And the bottom of the front bumper has a lot of different curves and shapes. Overall these details make the front look really disjointed and just a mess.

And the taillights look like cheap aftermarket crap.

The interior on the other hand, is absolutely beautiful and the new gauges are sweet.
Agree 100% man, just too busy. Cant wait to see the spindle grill on it though...

Not if they encrypt the hell out of that ECU like our 350 and it's heavier than the 350. How can the smaller engine be heavier than the bigger one? Maybe the 2GR engine is that superior?

Maybe their designers like catfish and based every designs to that.

My lease ends in late 2018 and I'm guessing the complete restyled Gen 5 will be out by then right?

I don't know about the headlights and drl especially. Most of the new models that have the DRL outside of the headlight everything kind of lines up...these look like a big after thought and too small

The steering wheel and the seats, and the speedo display for some reason it doesn't look good to me. I think they should have kept the same steering wheel. I could just be finding things to dislike about it as well I also think its probably to early to judge since I really need to see it in person.

The short answer, no.

Lexus has zero history of ever upgrading the infotainment operating systems, all they offer is a yearly map upgrade.
