not sure what they will sell for here, but i think they look and sound pretty good.

This V6 does sound like a smooth, well sorted engine. I'm not sure about that Camry's spoiler though, looks a bit over the top, like it would make sense on a 2 door Civic, but on a family sedan?

Is this one of the last mid-size sedans left with a decent, honest-to-goodness V6?

[johngenx]

It's a REALLY nice engine.

I think Maxima still has one but its pricing gets into Infiniti territory.

Is there statistics on what % of Camrys are sold with a V6, because I don't see many on the road around GTA.

1)Wow just when you couldn't think a car could get more fugly and the interior just looks nasty.
2) At what speed does a rear spoiler become effective?
3) Unfinished gooseneck trunk hinges, not a fan of those.

Dude, you own a Ridgeline.

yea, the spoiler on the Camry is a bit much, but i don't hate it...i actually like the looks of the Avalon, but i'd probably like the Camry equally too if it were available in a red/black combination.

Can I fit that TRD exhaust on my Fusion?  It's just mufflers right?  Need more sound clips!

The take-rate of the V6 in the Camry had been sitting around 15% IIRC. Not sure if that's changed recently as others have dropped theirs.

Most people don't wind out their motors in traffic, so a turbo 4 tuned for low end torque is going to feel stronger than a V6 that needs a few revs before the power comes on, all other things being equal.

I don't see the person considering a Camry or Avalon to be particularity interested in performance. Mid-size mainstream performance cars just can't seem to find traction anymore.

Agreed, the Avalon looks really good to me. I question who the target demographic is?

I was watching something on YouTube, and apparently people in Texas/Southern US love V6 Camry's/Avalons. .  Apparently dealerships would put on fancy wheels and body packages, and have no problems selling them at huge mark-ups.  The TRD is basically that from the factory, for less money.

Is it just me who thinks that Avalon looks way better than Camry on this video?

I agree, the Avalon doesn't look like a barge with the sporty bits put on.

I actually really like the look of the TRD Avalon and if I wanted a lux FWD sedan it would be near the top of my list. Excellent value.

I've seen a couple of Camry XSE around...with the 2 tone paint scheme.

Looks really good in person...especially the white with black roof one.

Point taken although it is a form follows function kind of thing.  What type of function does a giant gaping grill with fake air inlets serve?grill (plastic blocked off). Imagine if Toyota had a talented designer...

Maybe they can pull the guy who penned this out of retirement.

Is aesthetics...like it or not.
