I was checking a new Maxima ad in a magazine, and there's an * next to the 265hp, so i go to the bottom and they wrote something like, "horsepower tests lower under new SAE standards, engine performance will not change". Also, on every Maxima TV ad, theres a fine print on the bottom that says "Call 1-800 ---- for horsepower details" i forgot the number. LOL
GM & Ford forums, Honda/Acura forums, VW forums, Nissan forums...they all are trashing the new Camry. I mean to put it into a percentage its about 65-70% seem to dislike it. Every now and then it will be a dead heat but it seems to be more dislike than like.
Why are we surprised that they don't like it? They've been calling it the blandest car in the world. Now that it has a hint of style and they refuse to admit it. I'll admit the front isn't all that great but on the SE version, it looks pretty damn good. Besides, it doesn't matter what they say anyway since it'll be the wallets that'll be doing the talking and we know the Camry will challenge its competitors with that.
I mean, it seems those people only thing of two things
1) as long as it doesn't look like a PT Cruiser
2) as long as it has more than 250hp
So you can cut corners in the quality of leather, the seat bolstering, the nuts and bolts, the gaps between panels and the type of tyres and they won't notice.

Yet no one has seen it in person yet much let alone driven it.
Typical.

Don't know if anyone has seen these pics yet. These is the first up-close pics i've seen. Wow. With Toyota unveiling the 2007 Lexus LS460 and now this, Toyota is unstoppable! Also 16" tires are now standard!!! The SE's get 17". But as you can see from the pic of the blue XLE there are no LED taillights but who cares because the rest of the car is lovely and do I see dual exhaust!

More than ten million Camrys have been sold worldwide since the first Camry model launched in Japan in 1980. The Camry has been the bestselling car in America for the past four years, and 2005 was the eighth time in the past nine years that it has achieved that distinction. Clearly, a lot is at stake when Toyota decides to redesign the Camry, but from what we've seen of the all-new, 2007 model, the Camry will continue to bring home the bacon for Toyota.
Camry owners like their cars' reliability, build quality, refinement, and comfort, but during consumer research, many of them told Toyota that they wished their cars weren't so boring to look at and to drive. Hence this seventh-generation model has more curves in its sheetmetal and, Toyota promises, a little more spring in its step, thanks to an optional 3.5-liter V-6 that makes 268 hp. It's the same engine that debuted last year in the new Avalon and more recently in the new RAV4, and it's mated to an all-new, six-speed automatic transmission. The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine carries over with major upgrades including a slightly higher compression ratio. It makes 158 hp and is mated to either a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission.
The Camry is no bigger overall than before, but the wheelbase has been stretched from 107.1 inches to 109.3 inches. All trim grades have upgraded wheels, with sixteen-inchers replacing last year's fifteen-inchers as standard equipment. The sporty SE model, which can be equipped with either engine, gets seventeen-inch wheels. The SE also gets a full body trim kit and a V-shaped brace behind its rear seats to increase torsional rigidity. Side curtain air bags are standard on all models. Stability control is optional, but at least it's offered on all models, even the stripper CE.
America's most popular family sedan will finally receive Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain as an option. Unlike Honda, which based the Accord's hybrid powertrain on a V-6 engine, Toyota is using a four-cylinder, but it's the Camry's standard 2.4-liter four, not the 1.5-liter found in the Prius. The Camry Hybrid's gasoline engine produces 147 hp, while its electric motor provides 45 hp. A continuously variable transmission is standard. There's also an "Eco" button that decreases air conditioning output to aid fuel economy, if the driver is willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort to sip less gasoline. EPA fuel economy estimates for the Camry Hybrid are 43 mpg in the city, 37 mpg on the highway. A standard Camry equipped with the four-cylinder engine, by comparison, is rated at 25/35 city/highway when equipped with a manual transmission. Camrys with V-6 engines get 22/31 city/highway.
The interior on that thing is gorgeous. Beautifully done, Toyota! I hated the area surrounding the radio in the current gen, this is a huge improvement.
That being said, though, I really don't like that front. The SE looks best, imo, though they could've been designed better. The rear bumper is okay, reminds me of Nissan for some reason.
Inspite of that (the 'bad' imo), the thing will still sell 400k+ a year.
