If that pic holds any accuracy, I'm not overly excited.



Toyota needs to pull out all the stops. Maybe it won't matter how it looks though, Camry still wins the market. Still #1 with a 5 year old, simple design.

i dont think Camry needs to look crazy... Just fresh.

It is interior that needed the most improvements, and of course needs 40 MPG versionS.

Hopefully it comes with a better interior and fit & finish. My mom has one and while it fits her needs perfectly, no one is impressed with its interior even considering its class. I think that the last gen had a better fit & finish. Otherwise, it's smooth and quiet as it's supposed to be.

Man... Toyota deserves an award for keeping this next debut so tight-lipped. The suspense is killing me.

I could see that as the new Camry. Just not a fan of the batwing headlights or melting grille.

The grille is kinda Acura-like. We don't need another active shield/LF-Gh fiasco. However, it's not quite as bad as the Acura beak.

Crease on the side would make people scream "Sonata-copy!" I think I would be happy if that was the new Camry. I will need to see the rear

I like the front design.Have to see the side view,interior and rear but looks good.
If nice,I'd seriously consider buying one after it's out 8-12 months to get the bugs out and the bigger discounting.
