2007 Toyota Camry Spy Photos

As a 2007 model the next generation Toyota Camry goes on sale early next year. The Camry will be larger in all dimensions than its predecessor and receive a major change in styling more along the lines of the new Avalon and the CCX Concept presented back in 2002. Continuing its onslaught of hybrid vehicles Toyota announced in May that the 2007 Camry will receive a V6 hybrid engine to compete with Honda's V6 Hybrid Accord launched last December. The longstanding 3.0 liter V6 engine will finally take a bow and make way for either a revised 3.3 liter V6 or the new 3.5 liter V6 currently found in the Avalon. Debut expected in Tokyo with sales starting in the New Year in the US. The Camry will be built in the Georgetown, Kentucky plant.

This new Camry is looking good. Love the H disguise LOL. It looks like the stupid emblem on the grille is going to be biased towards the top again.

Most all prototype cars that are pre-production used for testing usually have Michigan manufacturer plates even though the car is shipped to their home headquarters i.e. Torrance, CA for Toyota/Lexus.

Nice. Lookin good. So I guess those fuzzy Camry pics were the real deal. Its gonna be a winner again.

Just kinda upset that the Camry is bigger in all demensions once again. The current Camry is pretty dman big for a midsize car. Hopefully they designed it in a way that sort of hides its real size.

Looking forward to the new engine options.

No matter how nice Camry has become, by the time it comes out, people will have call it bland and boring. Why? Cuz that's just the way those folks are.

Personally, I'm already disappointed with the look. The cars getting bigger, but the dam wheel/tire still remain small and skinny. I don't mind skinny too much, I do mind the fact that they're so tucked in and makes the car look weak and feminine(no offense to masculine chicks). No matter how good a design maybe, when the wheels aren't push closer to the fenders, it just don't look right(NSX is an example). I realize that Toyota is leaving rooms for people to put tire chains on them, but who the heck does that anymore nowadays? That mindset is so 70ish when RWD was all that the public had to choose from. Today, many people don't even know how to check their oil, the concept of putting tirechain on to gain some traction would not have occur in most Camry buyers mind especially when there are so many capable and refine SUVs to choose from. Are chains even necessary anymore since FWD has gotten so good? Anyone living in remote areas that requires chains most likely wouldn't be driving a camry anyway. SO come on Toyota, where's the wide stance and TL like flared fenders we saw in those fuzzy picts?

BTW...What are all those asian people doing in that test car? This is an american car, built for americans.
