Weow, is that the "SE" with Navigation? That looks pimped. never knew a Camry looked like that inside. NICE

For some reason, i'm not too thrilled with that new front bumper, looks wierd where the fog lights are...

LOVE the tails.

[t^3]

Here are some more things to add to the list:
-Chrome inside door handles and shifter knob on all models for 05-06
-Much better and nicer, IMHO, Optitron speedometer cluster for 05-06
-Center console box is larger and has a cover door for 05-06
-To me, the fabric looks nicer on 02-04
-No keyhole on the front passenger door on 05-06 (not that much of an issue since remote entry is standard)
-Smaller pockets on the back of the front seats on 05-06
-Power window consoles are black on 05-06, color-matching with the interior on 02-04 (I think the black makes it look cheap instead of sporty)

05 4-cyl has a little more HP, but 06 has less than 02-04.

Perhaps one of the best improvements on the '05 is the 5-speed automatic tranmission on the 4-cylinder. 02-04 4-cyl had 4-speed automatics

The 05-06 are the same. They just probably missed up on the numbers a bit. Don't know why, but they're practically the same.

As for the difference on the 02-04 and 05-06. Here's the following:

05-06s comes with the following as standard:

Audio controls on steering wheel
Keyless entry
5-spd auto with ECT
Auto on/off headlights
A third headrest in the rear
ABS on LEs
Bumpers, headlights, and tailights are redesigned
SE V6 is the 3.3L V6 as for the 02-04 SE V6s are only 3.0
Chrome accents on door handles
No keyhole on the passenger side
9-spoke hubcap (02-04 only had the 7-spoke)
SE V6 comes with a standard 17" rims deprived from the Solara.
