Camry V6 = 6.1s, Camry Hybrid = 7.3s

Damn. 7.3 for the Hybrid!!?? Thats not to bad. Very similar to the V6 engine. :bigthumbu:

6.1 sec for the 3.5L is stil very impressive. Thats a great time. :thumbup:

Which one ? ;) This one is tuned for fuel economy more than for performance I guess . . .

I expect it to be comparable to the Avalon all along :)

oh sorry, I ment to put in old V6. The 3.0-3.3L engines.

Toyota really underrated their times for the new camry

do you have scans of the article claiming these times?

this recent R&T article (April '06) was claiming just under 9 secs for the hybrid:

:uh:

7.3 sec. is "under 9 sec." right ? :p

I think that article is more like a preview rather than a review posting actual test results.

That sounds great. Still not the rocket I want, but what else would you expect from a Camry? :D

That sounds about right.
How much does the Carmy weigh vs the ES? If its similar, the ES wil post similar times.

Ten years ago, no one would have said a stock Camry would be this fast.
Ten years ago, no one was thinking about Hybrid Camrys and it would be faster than the old V-6 ones.

Amazing.

Damn, 7.3 is pretty good. A little slower than what I'm used to but definitely doable with the awesome fuel mileage. And it's about $5k less than the Accord hybrid too. Will definitely have to give the Camry a second look.

Impressive. Given increased congestion and road rage even the average Camry driver now needs this performance just to merge onto the highway!

Hmmm...its pretty crazy to say that a Camry might be able to hold its own against a GS400. Thats kinda nutty.

haah...we all know this. I'm just using it as an example as to how far the Camry has advanced in the past 5-9 years. Its impressive.

Toyota Is starting to change the whole car game A camry smoking a Bimmer lol

Cool. So a sub-6-second time is very possible when the car's in C&D's hand. :woohoo:

7.3 sec. is "under 9 sec." right ? :p

okay...so than where is the review posting the actual test results? :uh:

Not just any bimmer though; that seems to be faster (trap speeds anyway) than the new 330i even

Imagine the Toyota commercial; Camry pulling up next to a new 330i and smoking it at a light. And then the ad ends with captions "Oh, it gets better gas mileage and lower emissions too"
