GS has same engine as Camry?

And it has an 8 speed transmission which you only get in the RWD GS. AWD's get the 6 speed.

Well yea, and the Camry (and ES) are FWD, which is why they also get the 8 speed.

Has anyone driven the Camry? The specs are what they are and the car is admittedly quick, but none of that power and torque is available like on the GS. Freeway speeds, maybe, but with FWD, you just don’t get the same power curve.
I actually think Toyota really stepped it up with the Camry exterior, but interior is just boring. Drivetrain...depends. It really isn’t near as exciting as on paper.

It’ll move on the freeway, but it’s still plagued with all the same issues any portly FWD struggles with. The second the wheel spins, the nanny kicks in and it’s over. If you stab it in motion, you have to grab the wheel tight or end up in the ditch. Toyota’s front wheel dominant AWD only minimally solves the issue. It’s anything but a performance sedan!

The new TRD model admittedly looks pretty sick, but not sure they will do anything else to make it 'better' than the XSE.
