It's the SE trim.

Interior looks kinda sterile. It's the type that would really benefit from some wood.

I'm sure you can get wood trim(fake?) in it, nicest Camry in looks I can remember, but I don't like the way they put the Toyota emblem over the grille.

Yeah, I'm sure the XLE comes with some fake wood.

The interior is pleasing in design, but it's kinda generic and all that silver and light gray looks too sterile too me.

I guess the front spoiler, body moldings and fog lights only come with the SE?

The exterior is definitely the best Camry yet. Kinda looks like what would result if they mated the 2006 Camry with the Mazda 6.

Can we expect Sonata levels of standard safety equipment (abs, side airbags, side curtains, stability control) across all models?

Not so sure that I'm digging all the elements of the SE aero kit, but overall this looks to be a great car. I can't wait to drive one.

It looks HOT! I might have to go look at it when it comes to a dealer near me...

Mark this as the first time that a Camry gets way more attention than the two badass Porsches beside it

Whoa the SE trim really sets it off. The lips and the mesh grille compliments the sporty headlights much better than the two horizontal bars in the XLE trim.

LOL I didn't notice the Porsches until you pointed them out.

Wow, I'm impressed.

This is retribution to all the naysayers who said the new Camry looks "bloated" , ugly and like a whale.

Where's the ugliness? Where's the bloat? This is the sportiest Camry ever.

That exterior, combined with the 268HP V6, and that interior ... Toyota has a real winner here.

And what Mazda grill? That grill is pure Toyota. I bet in real life even the XLE grill won't like like a Mazda. Plus, the design more than anything is reminiscent of the 4th gen Camry, with a bit of Avalon cues in it. All I think the exterior needs is a chrome outline of the grill, but I guess Toyota decided that wouldn't look sporty.

The interior appears to be a base model SE. With nav, this will look amazing.

Even base, the interior looks nice. I think all the silver makes it look sporty, yet contrasts well with the rest of the interior. The gauges for the SE are obviously sporty, and will be different for the other models.

Personally, this looks like the best interior in the midsize market.

The panel gaps seem tight, and the interior quality looks as good as the Avalon!

If they made the interior any better, it would cannibalize the Avalon like crazy, and start to step on the toes of Lexus.

This is just the SE, can't wait to see the other models, including the hybrid.





Wow, just imagine how great the new ES will be!

Looks good. I still fail to see the blatant Mazda6 grill everyone keeps talking about. Personally think its more TL-ish because of the headlights, but thats might be a stretch too. Either way its definitely a nice car. Still would like to see a manual V6 in the sports package.
