Why is Gen 5 and Gen 6 put together??

[Importz]

Just wondering why the gen 5 and gen 6 is put into one forum here? We should have a separate gen 6 forum so we dont have to browse thru so much when searching for something.. Just a suggestion... Do you guys agree

[tengiday]

Yes and no. :-)
Yes: the two are different from the design to the engine.
No: the forum will have more clusters (not enough threads in 1 sub-forum).

I agree completely. I find it to be very cumbersome looking for gen 5-specific information among all the gen 6 threads.

+1. I was wondering the same thing.

I agree, the 2007 and newer camrys should be a separate section.

[Joe Dirt]

I've wondered that myself...

[desentrix]

well, do consider that some of the threads posted between 5/5.5 // 6/6.5 are similar in nature.

However, I do agree that 2007+ should be merged as a separate thread category until a Camry 7.0 manages to be produced.

Those with 6.0/6.5 should not that cosmetics are slightly different..

We discussed this several times in the past as Mods(i used to be a Mod in this forum) and it just wasn't practical. The Gen 7 will probably be a new subforum.

Gen 5 and 6, along with 1&2, and 3&4, are platform mates, and do share some common traits. Toyota generally uses the same platform for two generations and then brings in a new one. Gen 7 will have a new forum, since it will be an entirely new platform.

Can you elaborate on this?

Exactly as Justin mentioned. The forums can and never will be all things to all people, so based on a number of factors and after much discussion the forums are structured the way you see them. Members can help out too by putting as much Gen specific information into their thread titles as possible, and that way help future searches of the forum turn up relevant results. Thanks!
