looks more sporty and more agressive, I like the new toyota styling cues.

my first thought was- wow that has a lot of cues from the Mazda6. only one of the commentors on that page mentioned. exceptionally discerning or mazda blind?

More agressive and more sporty really doesn't say alot for a Camry. I don't like it any more than the old one. But then I haven't seen a new Toyota I liked in 8 years or so.

Fugly, cheap and dowdy.

Look at all the cheap plastic, ugly baby blue colors - bleh.

Toyota designers lack inspiration.

i always hated the camry, terribly conservative styling... I have a beat up 1991 camry as i use it in the winter, and ive been driving it since I was in highschool. (sucks to drive a car you hate :p)... i hated every camry ive ever seen, but this one is honestly the first camry that I like. Im impressed.

I imagine the V6 would get a detuned version of the 3.5L 268hp engine from the Avalon or the destroked 2.5L 210hp version of that engine from the IS250.

Not bad at all. From the front, my first thought, too, was "Mazda 6". The tail made me think BMW for some reason?

What a ugly pos that shoulda came out in 2000. Those Toyota designers should are a bit outdated. That thing looks boring and old. Damn Toyota sucks so much...

That car just looks cobbled together. It has a really aggressive front end, a lip kit, and those hideous *** wheels. It has terrible porportions. This interior looks really cheap.
