Well duh, of course those cars all look the same. After all, they all have the wheels, headlights, tail lights, doors, and windows in almost exactly the same places. Can't Toyota show some creativity?

For one thing, the 07 Camry with the V6 engine has dual exhaust. And at least Toyota didn't cheapen out on the new Camry by eliminating the windshield eyebrow like they did on the new IS. Just gives the IS a cheap econo car look when viewed from the front.

I work in Georgetown at Toyota Logistics, basicly like a port facility. We install acessories and ship the vehicles where they need to go. Anyway i drive approx 1000 Camrys a week and believe me that the IS is much better, im not saying the Camry is a bad vehicle just that the quality of materials seem to be better in the Lexus. As it should be.

The Camry is a big IS???? What are those of you who insist on that smoking???!!!! 
That's ridiculous. I've been next to New Camrys and New IS's on the road for days now, and they look nothing alike.
For one, the IS looks MUCH better. Although the Camry is not bad, the IS is a whole different animal.

wow my first flame fest. How fun.
As I stated twice already. I love my IS350.
However I don't see why you people cant see that the two cars look to be built on the same platform. The Camry previously shared platforms with the ES, but now it appears to share it with the IS.
A beetle shares the same platform as a Jetta, do they look exactly alike, no.
My dealer told me no other car would share the IS platform. I think he lied, that's all.

Now I am telling you, the IS DOES NOT SHARE THE CAMRY PLATFORM.
This is not even UP FOR DEBATE. This is a FACT.
A FACT.
If you think they look similar, so be it. But they are not based on the same mechanicals. Even the IS 350 engine is more advanced with dual VVTi and direct injection compared to the identical 3.5 in the Camry.

Looks wise, Camry and IS are quite different.
However, in IS350 and Camry Dual VVT-i 3.5 liter, the engine (3.5 liter V6, tuned a little differently and different header) and transmission (different gear ratios) are the essentially the same.
