That because the Camry over there is top of the line up. I don't think they have the Avalon overthere.
So it's not really a fair comparison.

plus they make the camry more luxurious than what we have here since yes, they don't have the avalon, nor do they have lexus except if it is grey or black market.

Thats an Australian model - called the Aurion. Its a v6 6sp semi auto, they had to call the v6's Aurion because over here Camry's are for old farts.

They sell it in some asian countries as the Camry.

So in other words, Its pretty much a rebadged feature wise Avalon but look and known as Camry in other states (hope that made sense). Kinda like Acura TSX in the states but is a Honda Accord in the European States.

I want one.

I'd get one in a second if they made them available in the U.S.

I agree, looks too much like an Avalon for me. I'm not that old yet..

However, I would like to have those side mirrors on my LE...
