Just looked it up. Interior is boring, exterior is nice nothing crazy but nice. Going to jump out on a limb and guess it's still fwd so the power will be great for going in a straight line once the wheels stop hopping.

I think it looks really good! I didn't even know they redesigned it again until reading this thread.
In my opinion, the fact that it's front wheel drive shouldn't matter (if you're considering getting one). I had a 2003 Camry a while back and it was a great car!!

This is already a very crowded segment and it's good news for people looking to get one.

I also find it very nice - I like the fact that my IS350 (F sport) is more rare than this Camry will be but that being said, the styling is very sporty and non-Camry looking, which is a good thing! It will give the new Honda a run for its money!

I wouldn't be surprised if the new 301 horsepower V6 Camry kept up with the 3rd Gen IS350 during a stoplight race as it's anticipated that the new Camry V6 will be a few tenths faster than the previous iteration (which had a 0-60 of approx. 5.8 secs).

The new camry V6 should be faster on the roll "technically speaking" due to it having same engine and transmission but with less drive train power loss. I want to fine out what they did to make it rev higher than the is350 with better gas mileage.

"3.5-Liter V-6 Engine
Like the 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine, the Toyota Camry's newly-developed 3.5-liter V-6 is equipped with the highly-advanced D-4S direct injection system, along with a specially-developed new VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide) variable valve timing system. Thanks to the addition of these highly efficient engine technologies, it delivers higher power output, and class-leading fuel efficiency.
The 24-valve DOHC 3.5-liter V-6 engine employs the VVT-iW system for the intake, with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - Intelligent) on the exhaust, an efficient 11.8:1 compression ratio and a more squared bore and stroke of 3.70 inches and 3.27 inches, respectively, in comparison to the longer stroke of the Camry's new 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder power plant. Power output is rated at 301 horsepower at 6,600 rpm an impressive torque rating of 267 ft.-lb. at 4,700 rpm. Despite its exceptional power output, the new 3.5-liter V-6 engine achieves exemplary fuel efficiency with an EPA-estimated rating of 22 mpg city/33 mpg highway/26 mpg combined, an increase of eight percent for combined mpg over the previous V6.
The V-6's VVT-iW variable valve timing system has been engineered to ensure high torque production at all engine speeds. It utilizes the Atkinson cycle to enhance fuel economy without sacrificing performance or engine start ability at extremely low temperatures as well as in wide-open throttle (WOT) engine operation. Fuel efficiency is further enhanced by decreasing pumping losses from the delayed closing of the intake valve."
2GR-FKS
The 2GR-FKS combines the D-4S system from the 2GR-FSE with the simulated on-demand Atkinson cycle used in the 2UR-GSE and 8AR-FTS engines. The intake camshafts are equipped with VVT-iW and the exhaust camshafts are equipped with VVT-i. In the Tacoma the engine specifications are 207 kW (278 hp) at 6000 rpm and 359 N·m (265 lb·ft) at 4600 rpm.[9] In the Lexus RX 350 the engine specifications are 220 kW (295 hp) at 6300 rpm and 362 N·m (267 lb·ft) at 4700 rpm respectively. In the Lexus GS350 the engine specifications are 232 kW (311 hp) at 6600 rpm and 380 N·m (280 lb·ft) at 4800 rpm respectively.
Applications (calendar years):
- 2016-present Toyota Tacoma (GRN305/310/325/330)[9]
- 2015-present Lexus GS 350 (GRL12/16)[10]
- 2015-present Lexus RX 350 (GGL20/25)[11]
- 2017 Toyota Highlander (GSU50/55)
- 2017 Toyota Sienna (GSL30/33/35) 221 kW (296 hp)
- 2017 Toyota Camry (GSV70) 224 kW (301 hp)

I have a feeling these current new powerplants in the NEW camry are holdovers until they can refine the turbo mills enough for use in the new Camry. Camry name is not something they want to risk screwing up.
The new Accord will be full turbo 4s. No more V6.

Thought this article was relevant to the discussion.
Hollis also described the Camry V-6 as the market’s most aspirational midsize sedan, a piece of marketing high ground he’s unwilling to give up. The 3.5-liter V-6 is redesigned for 2018, gaining 33 hp and 19 lb-ft for a total output of 301 hp and 267 lb-ft. The engine is backed by a new eight-speed automatic transmission, and is EPA-rated 22/33/26 mpg (city/highway/combined) in XLE trim, or 22/32/26 mpg in XSE. Those figures represent gains of 1 mpg in the city and 2-3 mpg on the highway.
Toyota is one of just four mainstream midsize sedan makers that continue to cling to the V-6, with the others being Nissan with its Altima 3.5, Volkswagen with its Passat V6, and Ford with its Fusion Sport. In Ford’s case, the V-6 offering is the high-performance variant of the lineup, and comes coupled to an all-wheel drive system and two turbos. But as we noted in our First Drive, the 2018 Camry could be the best handling Camry to date. Is it a match for Ford’s heavy-hitting, EcoBoost V-6-powered Fusion, though? There’s only one way to find out.
Stay tuned for a showdown between the 301-horse Camry and our nominee for midsize supremacy, the 325-hp twin-turbo V-6 AWD Ford Fusion Sport.

2018 Toyota Camry: Why Keep the V-6?
GM, Hyundai/Kia, and Mazda have all ditched six-cylinder engines from their midsize sedan offerings in favor of turbo or hybridized four-bangers, and Honda is about to follow suit with its blockbuster Accord. A transverse inline-four weighs less and packages much tighter than a V-6, so the entire lineup can benefit from weight and space savings of not having to accommodate a low-selling V-6 variant (Toyota pegs current V-6 share at 5-6 percent historically). But according to Toyota general manager Jack Hollis, the dealers loudly demanded the V-6 be retained. They feel the Camry V-6 helps live down the brand’s vanilla reputation—especially in its livelier new wrapper.Hollis also described the Camry V-6 as the market’s most aspirational midsize sedan, a piece of marketing high ground he’s unwilling to give up.
