with a car like this I dont see why people would need to buy a more expensive car. It looks the like a luxury car when parked in front of the villa and looks like the part of a legit sports sedan in the SE tri.
Personally I like the silver XLE better than the red SE but I wish Toyota decided on putting a darker shade of faux wood in the interior coz it looks tacky in that yellowish state.

I've also updated the first post in this thread with more detailed feature/specification/options information. The gallery is also being updated as we speak with more Camry Hybrid images.

Nice thanks!
And I love love love that blue... and I'm happy to see it on the SE since for some odd reason the Avalon Touring and the RAV4 Sport don't seem to come in blue.
the four cylinder only gets 1 more HP and the gen6 weights 200 pounds more.
The dimensions are virtually the same except the new camry gets a bigger trunk. A bigger trunk wasnt exaclty one of those things I was looking forward to.
New styling is not enough to pull me out of my gen 5.

What do you think the pricing will be for this beauty?
I think Toyota will be aggressive on pricing at first in order to get as many cars on the road as they can. Having cars on the road provides additional exposure, and it is especially important when you introduce a new model or a new design…
So, how much above the ’06 models in your opinion?
Wow, the new Camry is hot! I wish, though, that the non-Hybrid versions came with LED taillamps (even the regular Honda Accord has them). I also wish Toyota would let us decide whether we want leather or not, because not everybody thinks leather automatically equals luxury (ie: XLE V6). I hope the leather is not standard in the Hybrid versions as the media photos portray.
As far as grilles go, the more I look at the non-SE versions, the more I like it. I also think the SE grille and body kit are sweet and offer a good differntiation between the other models.
That dark blue is nice, but I would rather have a dark green personally.
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!)
They did more than a few powertrain updates on the Gen5.
V6's started out with 192hp/4AT, and went to 210hp(VVT-i)/5AT all around, and then the SE-only got the 3.3L/5AT. That's a lot of changes all in one generation. Also, the 2AZ 2.4L engine got upgraded from a 4AT to a 5AT also.
Anyways, I really like the new Camry. I think it'll either come down to a Camry SE V6 for me, or an Avalon. I really don't like buying 1st year models at all so I might lean towards an Avalon Touring (or Limited) for that reason alone. Will have to test drive.

Interior: A
Well done. The color scheme is nice, panel gaps seem good, and the layout in general is very ergonomic.
Exterior: B-
An new flavor of vanilla. I'm not a fan. It has an awkward stance, and the SE bodykit is kinda lame. For a car this size, bodykits are so early 90s. It makes me think back to the stuff they tacked on Bonnevilles and Luminas back in the day. Once again, the wheel wells are too small...my biggest complaint with Toyota design. If they would just make bigger wheel wells and put larger wheels on, it would improve the stance 100% and give the Camry a more confident look. It has a big snout and a big rear end as well.
Powertrain: B
The 268 hp 3.5L is nice, but the I4 is lacking. The Fusion offers 160 hp base and it only weighs 3100 pounds...the Camry I4 weighs 200 lbs. more. What happened to the 3.0L? Seems like a huge jump from 158 hp to 268 hp...where's the intermediate engine?
Leather IS optional on the XLE and Hybrid models in the states (we get standard leather on the XLE V6 in Canada). The Camry hybrid has optional power heated front seats, leather, moonroof, JBL audio and nav.
The electroluminescent gauges is only for the SE model, it looks like other models get Optitron electronic gauges.
