The advertised 0-60 mph time has additionally risen, from 6.8 seconds to 7.0 seconds, whilst fuel economy remains constant during 19/27-mpg (city/highway).
Interesting.... those are the EXACT same numbers as the Camry V-6 SE...

Yes they are. Also interesting is the fact that the Avalon with the same engine and trans is rated at 20/29, and I read in C&D that for 2011 the Camry V6 is newly rated at 20/29 also. Makes you wonder if Lexus will retest too.
