I wonder if those head lights can fit the U.S. versions?

I always love new cluster's. Mmmm LED technology....

Only 2 engines are offered, 2.0 VVTi and 2.4VVTi mated to 5-sp auto and a possible 5-speed manual. Price has not yet been set.

Honda Accord has been a hot seller since it came off assembly line in China in 2002. Accord has been No. 1 in mid-size sedan in that market.

Wow that has way better features than our Camry like LED tailights and HIDs and prob a few more I can't see right now. Those gauges are really nice they look like an animation type cartoon or somein. Also that interior is way more luxurious just when I thought the Camry (U.S. version) had the best interior and no other car could top it off well I guessed I failed to guess no car can have a better interior unless it's another Camry.

That looks stunning

xpeed · 04-26-2006, 09:45 PM

That's all I can say.

Tideland Prius · 04-26-2006, 11:49 PM

AFS? God damn it! Why do they get the new technology and we don't?!?! That's not fair!!!

I must say, I like the wood though. And they get CAMRY door sills.

i don't know about you guys, but the rear look of the asian camry sort of reminds me the hyunda sonata's current rear end, but just with altezza type tail lights.

TRDcrazy · 04-27-2006, 12:39 AM

thats austraila's toyota aurion

lsac · 04-27-2006, 12:48 AM

pjsammy · 04-27-2006, 07:59 AM

that grill&emblem design is WAAAAY better than ours. Why did they have to go and give us the drooopy nose when they get the nice clean, crisp lines?!

lsac · 04-27-2006, 10:39 AM

notice that seat control on the side of passenger front seat? it is for rear passenger to control front seat when space is needed. most camries are driven by chauffeur.

drunken_panda · 04-27-2006, 10:41 AM

i thought the tail lights look more like the current es330.
the asian market had always had more refined product then the u.s. toyota car for the asian market are more on the level of the lexus line in the u.s. here.
i just came back from china about 4 weeks ago and one of my friend there bought a new toyota prado, its a suv, it is a rebaged lexus gx470 in the u.s. market but with a scaled down 3.0 liter engine.
