Actually, I'm sure this is the reason why so many of the foreign camry versions look more upscale than here. Toyota doesn't want its bread and butter Camry to look too similar to its Lexus cousin by using too similar of body accents such as the aggressive looking grill, the chrome accents on the doors, tails, etc... it would resemble the ES330 too closely. And the US is the only market (we're the only one's with the spending power) where Lexus can be marketed as successfully as it is.
In most other countries such as in Asia and the middle east, the Camry is the end of the line, in terms of higher end cars for Toyota... so accordingly, they've got to look the part.
