I've got a summer job cleaning new cars at a Toyota dealership (a great job, except for the Toyota cars ), and one day I spent a good solid 10 minutes staring at a Camry 'cause there was nothing else to do.
When I look at the car, I see the last-gen Camry, a little Chrysler 300, and just a touch of Lexus 350.
The profile is flat-out gorgeous. I was looking at it at eye level and there isn't a bad curve on it.
The back is okay. I think it's one of those things that could grow on you when you get used to it.
The interior is nice, although I really think that the wood trim just doesn't look good. It's too bright and too forced, almost as forced as the wood trim in the Corolla LE (wood trim in a Corolla, are you kidding?). The 300 is the same way when it has wood...it's like some cars put it in because they know it will bring certain people in to buy it.
The front end is... atrocious. Sorry. There is no redeeming value to the grille. The sportier LE is *kind of* okay, but anything else is not good. And, like a lot of Toyota design elements, it's not even original! Look at an Mazda MPV or 3. But even their models don't look as bad. I think it's because of the freakin' huge Toyota logo and the fact that it's on top of the grille.
Haven't driven em around much yet. They don't let us go too fast anyways :/
Anywho, it's better than the FJ!
