Isn't that what the current version is?!?

I think the Camry has the same wheelbase in all markets.

No thanks. |
Isn't that why you have all the traction control electronics?
And correct me if I'm wrong but the Lexus IS, GS, SC etc are all RWD

Instead of improving power, increasing displacement, and improving efficiencies of current engines, why don't they try reducing the weight for a change? Every new generation seems to be getting noticeably bigger than the previous one while weight is increasing. If they improved efficiencies and reduced weight, seems like we can have a better handling car with better fuel economy...

The increased weight was to make the Gen 6 safer for the side crash-test that NHTSA and IIHS were conducting.
