They must have manually swapped the badges. Can't use a camry cover since it is longitudinally mounted and Camry is transversely mounted. Also it's a completely different engine and doesn't have DI. And the 3GS has never been sold as Toyota anywhere. It's the first GS to be sold as a Lexus even in Japan.
