I haven't seen one up close yet, or reviewed/test-driven it.....but, from the images, it seems like a nice car, except for two things.....the Typical-Toyota-Ugly grille and the odd-looking asymmetrical swoop to the lower dash, forward of the shifter.
I like the two-tone paint options, though.....more cars today need that. Many manufacturers don't offer it, though, because of cost-cutting.

To my knowledge, this is the first time I have commented on that specific issue in public.....and this IS a Camry thread.

It's a great looking car. Saw a white XSE the other day and it looked fantastic & very upscale (even the turn signals are LED) Another huge advantage IMO is you can still get that excellent V6 which is probably still the best motor in this class

it's a very nice driving car but this new camry in general i feel doesn't have very comfortable seats (too firm) and i don't like how it's lower and wider than older camrys. myself and basically every other salesman here agrees that it's very annoying that it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to order a camry with navigation unless you get the V6 and even then it's still an option. the new camry will be the only car in the segment to still have a V6 as an option though so i like that, and i love how the XLE/XSE camrys have full speed radar cruise control, and not just regular DRCC that cancels once you go below 25
i know integrated navigation is sort of being replaced by just using your phone but people very frequently still want JUST NAVIGATION in terms of additional options and they can't get it. the scout connected app is also irritating and won't work if there's no cell service

Torque which is what gets you off the line: Accord 273 lb-ft at 1,500 rpm (immediately available), Camry V6 267 lb-ft at 4,700 rpm

A V6 usually will have a smoother, more linear feel than a small turbo especially at lower RPM's. The new turbos are much improved though. BMW and Audi 2.0t's are among the best IMO.
