I guess I'm in the minority here in that I like the Gen 5 Camry quite a lot.

If there is any truth to these pics, then I'm not so sure I like the new Camry. The headlights remind me too much of a TL, and it makes the Camry look like a Honda, more than a Toyota. The rear looks like Lexus, and the big grille at the front has a Lexus flair to it. I wonder how the new ES will look, and will it be different enough compared to the new Avalon and new Camry.

If these pics are real, then I guess I have mixed feelings about the new Camry . It seems to be more angular, with Acura styling cues, and has lost some of that curvy smooth Toyota look.

 

I bet they sell the usual 400,000 a year AND some. Surely engine power will go up, features, luxury, etc etc......
IMO, the current Accord and Camry are more car for most people. This new Camry will only extend upon this.

And HELLLLLLLLLO Hybrid

I agree that there seems to be a T-finesse thing going on. Toyota seems to be going for a more uniform family look now. The new grille in particular is in the FT-SX too.

 

First speculation, now you're making up terms?

 

Don't make up facts. Fact is that I was only quoting somebody else's term, not making it up. And I obviously didn't even take his term seriously by saying "the T-finesse"--I referred to it as "a T-finesse thing". It's all for the purpose of discussion of this new Toyota family look. What exactly is your problem with that?

 

i saw something that that pic is soppose to be the next generation highlander

 

So much TL, Mazda6, and new Avalon in there...I'm not feeling it just yet.

Recent Camry generations have always looked good with TRD body kits...Maybe it'll work for this one too. And would it really kill them to bring back the manual with the V6? I know it's not going to sell well or compete against a TL, but they could give a few stick freaks something to smile about...

 

I hear you. I'm not totally against the Bangle trunk. I still not really like it on the 7 even with the redesign, but I don't mind it too much on the 5, and on the cars like the RL it is much more suttle like I mentioned in my first post so it is not bad at all. I still think that look on this cancept Camry is too pronounced though. The camry like the Accord will sell no matter what. I probably wouldn't consider one based no the pictures thus far though. I'm still just wondering why many rip the design on the BMW and even on the RL but didn't have anything to say one way or the other about the similar design concept on the Camry?

 

i do agree with u on that, especially on the SE trim, that should come with a manual on the V6 engine and the current year (2005) camry, saw one earlier today when i was at the BMW dealership, it have the ground effects kit on it with the 17" black cmary wheels on it with tinted windows, that car was hot, it had the regular spoiler on it, not that lip spoiler, that also brought out the look, but, if i dont like this next generation camry thats coming up, (which i highly doubt because i always liked camrys) i will get a 05 SE and do some mods to it, but will have to settle with no manual

 

I just noticed that the headlights of this supposed Gen 6 Camry look too close for comfort with the Infiniti FX45. I actually like the side profile, and the back of this Camry, and even the front profile is generally quite nice, but I can't seem to get used to those headlights ... they just don't seem to fit in my mind.

I really hope the Camry looks a bit different in production, and that this is maybe a concept.

EDIT: I guess I will wait till we see actual clear and detailed pics of the production Camry before I assume anything.

 

Hehe ... don't worry ... the next ES will be markedly different than the Gen 6 Camry. The new ES has been confirmed to have the same style distinct stretched headlight shape ... but beyond that, the car will be all new.

If this purported gen 6 Camry is real, with it's Lexus, Infiniti, and Acura styling cues, then it is a sign Toyota is moving more upscale, which is shocking, as Toyota is upscale as it is compared to most of it's competition.

If that is the case, imagine how much more upscale the new ES and LS will be . Plus, the icing on the cake is that Lexus has said the new LS will make as big a splash in the marketplace as the first LS did in 1989. I got high hopes for the new LS ... it could potentially blow away the competition, especially with a V8 hybrid LWB version.

 

Sigh....if anthing it looks TOYOTA to me...

 

Here are some more pics with one of the last ones having the 'Camry' badge on the trunk!
