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...

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.

I saw the LaCrosse/Allure at the Chicago Auto Show in Feb. Nice looking car inside and out IMO. It should do well, unless buyers shy away from buying a 1st year model from GM with their recent troubles

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. :thumbup: |

No reports yet because the 2010 model does not exist (yet).

Actually the 2010 is being built as we speak....they started production earlier this month....but I doubt any of the major auto mags will go to Japan to road test is since it's only a mid cycle refresh.

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