Here is another view on the subject as one who meets the public every day. It's an option. Some like the prior poster demand it on every vehicle they buy because they see value in it and other refuse it because they don't see the value.
It can cause friction but if you are aware of it then just deal with it. Negotiate it away or order a vehicle without it. If the dealership wants your business they will accomodate you. Nothing serious it's just business.
Buyers can vote with their feet. It's very easy to do in today's age.
The price wasn't disclosed, but it was available for the 4Runner, Sequoia, and Tundra.
Is Toyota offering this, or is the Southeast Toyota distributor looking for some more cash? I saw another ad for the X-SP package in Georgia.
Any pricing info on the Camry?
Mackabee, good to see your posts again. I've decided to wait for the 2007 Camry based on your input months ago. Take care and happy new year!
Cause we just bought TOYOTA cars. Camry,Corolla. which 1 is nice, new RAV4 or Camry.
any ideas......
o' lets see... does anyone remember the 1998 mercedes ML320? there was no other SUV like it at it's debut, until the 1999 lexus rx300, which looked so closely like ML320 you had to wait to see the lexus emblem in the grill to know for sure.
now i'm not saying that the new '07 camry isn't stylish, quite the contrary, i just wish toyota would come out and say "we've never had ideas of our own, so this time we ripped off audi."

I don't see Audi in the new Camry. I find it to be fairly squat, and the overall shape reminds me of the Lexus GS. In anycase, its not style that sells Camry and Accords....

LE Camry is about $21300 less the rebate.
LE Camry w/SAB is abt $22000 less the rebate.
Negotiate your best deal.
The pricing is not known yet but probably similar to the above. Interesting point is that the transaction prices of Camry's have actually increased in the last year or two.
And the type of engine it will have?
The new Camry looks like a car I would see on the Lexus models! Esp. the GS! Good Toyota!
I wonder if the new Lexus ES will looks similar? Huh!!?
Any feedback will truly help me THANKS!!!
All four-cylinder Camry models sold in California (and states with California emission standards) meet Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) standards, complying with the state's Clean Air Initiative. The PZEV Camry meets the Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standard for tailpipe emissions and emits virtually zero emissions from vaporization in the gas tank and fuel system.
Performance and fuel efficiency for the PZEV Camry are virtually the same as the other four-cylinder models. The engine produces 145 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 158 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM, and the car returns EPA city/highway estimated fuel mileage ratings of 23/32 mpg.
There was recently a commercial on TV advertising that you could drive the Camry PZEV across the US X amount of times before it emitted the same pollution as painting a normal room in a house. I thought that was incredible.

"... The completely re-styled and re-engineered Camry...will feature significantly improved performance and a new level of comfort and refinement.
Toyota makes its exclusive Hybrid Synergy Drive available in the 2007 Camry. Toyota promised the Camry Hybrid will deliver the highest level of Camry performance ever achieved in both fuel efficiency and low emissions and also will achieve impressive power. Both vehicles will be built at Toyota's Georgetown, Ky., assembly plant. Both are 2007 models being introduced in early 2006."
They also show a picture of the "new" Camry but I don't know how to post pictures. Here is the link though.

.
I hope someone has a digital camera at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday so they can take some "real" pictures of the Camry's debut. I am really looking forward to seeing it.
We certainly will appreciate some "real" digital pictures. The Camry introduction is Monday the 9th and we should find out some real specs shortly thereafter. I am debating between the TSX and the new 2007 Camry.
I'll be sure to post pictures up after I return from the show.
Sharing is caring.

The next-generation Camry will be completely redesigned and made in Georgetown, Kentucky. It will be a 2007 model introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show along with its identical hybrid twin, the Camry HV (info shown below). The new Camry will have a 2.4 L I4 making 158 hp with 4 trim levels: CE, LE, SE, and XLE. It will also have the 3.5 L V6 making 268 hp with three trims: LE, SE, and XLE. The V6 will be available with a 6-speed sequential transmission. A spilt-folding rear seat is not available on the SE trim. A navigation system with cell-phone link and heated leather seats are available for the SE and the V6-powered XLE. A keyless entry/remote starter is optional on the V6-powered XLE. The 2007 Toyota Camry will make its official debut in January 2006 at Detroit at the NAIAS.
Camry Hybrid
For 2006, Toyota will create a hybrid gas/electric Camry when it is redesigned as the 2007 Toyota Camry called the Camry Hybrid. It will use a Hybrid Synergy Drive setup similar to that of the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Lexus RX 400h, which mates Toyota's 3MZ V6 with an electric motor. However, the Camry Hybrid will utilize a 4-cylinder gasoline engine as opposed to a V6, a setup that will produce 192 hp. Standard features include remote entry and start, side torso airbags, knee airbags and side-curtain airbags. The Camry Hybrid will be built at the company's Georgetown, Kentucky plant, with about 45,000 projected per year.
What are the prices?
We are all waiting for these facts. We will be getting them in the next few days or weeks.
The XLE is just crying plastic.
What are the prices?
I'll go out on a limb a little
Improvements:
Uh state of the art V6!!!
10 airbags standard;
BT standard;
style, style, style.. I do love the new look;

"In North America in the near future, all of Nissan’s front engine/front-wheel drive vehicles except for Quest and some Versa models will come equipped with CVTs – including 100% of Sentras, Altimas, Maximas and Muranos sold with automatic transmissions."
I always hate the light yellowish "wood" (first seen in the Infinity Q45 several years ago) Maybe it would look better with a brown/tan interior instead of the grey leather shown in the pic.
Tons of information.
I own a 2004 V6 Camry, and personally I like my car exterior styling better, but this one has a better interior definitely.
Some people will say why get a TL then?
Others will say, with the extra cost of the HIDs, why pay $32K for decked an 2008 Accord Hybrid with nav and HIDs?
A loser for Honda either way.
A maxed out 2007 Camry XLE V6 +$700 to $1000 for HIDs would probably get uncomfortably close in price and features to a lightly optioned 2007 ES350 not to mention stepping all over the Avalon.
The current tranny has been roundly criticized for its slow response to downshift. My 2005 SE-V6 is noticeably better than my 2004 HL V6.
I think a lot more people are going to buy the Camry V6 this go-round. It sounds like the better bang for your buck.
