Take a close look at the "future plans" for the Georgetown plant ... new V6 engine for 2006!

I'll give you one guess as to what lucky car is getting that new V6 engine

Does this mean the MZ will no longer be used, and it will be all GR engines?

If so,

Yep, the MZ is coming to an end.

That sounds awesome ... but has that been confirmed?

Does that then mean all 2007 V6 Camrys will be GR engines?

[kasimmmmm]

can someone clarify wut the new GR engine will mean..?

1GR=4Runner, Tacoma
2GR=Camry, Avalon, maybe Sienna. 1MZ & 3MZ are history.
3GR= ? maybe Japan vehicles only
4GR= ? maybe Japan vehicles only

I think he meant what technology is used in the GR, what changes there are from the MZ line.

Ie: 5S-FE = 5th generation S block with an F series (narrow valve angle) head that is equipped with EFI.

3S-GE = 3rd generation S block with a G series (wide valve angle) head that is equipped with EFI
