They need to leave some rooms to refesh the Camry in two years.
Not to say that this won't happen, but the Camry's engine has only been upgraded during mid-generation once, and that was the V6 a few years ago only for the SE. According to Wikipedia, the I4's got very small increases between the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations. Guess I was just expecting a similar increase for Gen 5-6 as we saw in Gen 4-5 (133 to 157 hp). The V6's, though, have been increasing 10-25 hp every generation, and this time was a big exception (190/210 to 268 hp!)
Oh bummer! The Le, which is the one I'll be getting has that funky sloted grill.
I'll just have to see if I can get a SE grill and have them swap it out.
I know it will be possible, I just wonder if they will sell me the part.
I'm dying to see the LE images and the interior of it. I sure hope they keep that parking brake down on the floor like they are on the SE. There's NO reason having that thing taking up valuable center space as it is on the 2006's.
Maybe, just maybe they will offer an XLE in cloth with the 6, then I could get that.
I am so ready for this car.

Yea.. i'm contemplating this SE man... keep my current Camry and mod the hell out of it.. and get the 07/08 SE when I graduate... the hoodline don't look so bad in the red and blue...
I wonder if you can buy the LED tails and swap them in... and go to Toyota.com and click on the camrty link on the bottom right.. that front shot of it is sexy....

love the new look.
especially on the SE.
has a nice presence.
sucks that only the Hybrid gets LED tails.
nice that at least the SE gets dual exhaust tips.
STUNNING, simply stunning. Best midsize car, EVER.

The SE has a standard full body kit that positions the car 0.4-inches (10mm) lower than other Camry grades.
Not to nitpick, but how is a body kit that lowers ride height... worth bragging about as part of the whole dynamically superior driving experience? What about the springs?
Not a bad car, it'll take some getting used to. I really don't know if whether or not I like it, going to have to see it in person.
