Anyone seen one yet? Saw one for the first time, really looks like a better shaped version of the M37 etc...looked pretty damn good to me.

This, the 13' Fusion, and the 14' Mazda6 are definitely the lookers of the segment

true, but based on camry sales, good looks are a detriment.

aside: you might wanna stick your single quotes on the other side of the numbers as they read as 13 and 14 feet.

interesting... in pics, exterior looked great but interior too simple (very old Toyota), and in video interior looks nice and exterior a bit weird and too american for me :-).

p.s. we will see in few months if it will start selling more then Camry, it was 3nd this month but it is ramping up just now.

I've seen a few at dealers but not one on the street yet. Dealers are only now starting to get a real inventory. IMO, the Altima stomps all over Camry inside and out.

The CAmry SE seems to be about sportiest in class. The hybrid is really good. But I agree, exterior styling is a letdown as the interior. If I was in the market I can't see myself in the Camry. Amazing it sells so well.

Most of my clients just buy the Camry LEs 4cyc model. They are the people who don't know cars, to them, they can't go wrong with Camry, so they just buy them without even looking or compare with anything else on the market. That's the reputation the Camry has.

Saw first one today. Looked so-so, nothing special. Base model wheels were tiny.

Bingo! We have a winner. I think that's the customer mentality exactly.
