Clearly, it's the old car. Even the door shutlines and overall proportions are identical to the old car.

It appears slightly smaller, I'd like to see the dimensions as it appears to have slightly less legroom in the rear like the new Malibu.

Looks like a Corolla and the Current Camry banged.

certainly a family resemblance, but the proportions are 100% better than the pre-intro pics seemed to portray. i like the photo showing all variants, plus the cool slideshow. the rear taillamps also appear much classier than the earlier pics suggested. the prices either stayed the same or were reduced. another plus.

the interior (tu-tone) seats are unique, yet reminiscent of the leather seats on the new kia optima. a cooler, hipper and more youthful look than past camrys.

BEST PICS (and sweetest color blue!), including great interior shots... the car is already growing on me...

Hmm. I still don't find the exterior interesting in any way (I actually think the front looks uglier than I'd initially thought), but the interior is looking much more promising than the current model, so that's good. The steering wheel controls look like you're about to play a video game, but the center stack looks much better (the brushed metal look is nice) and the gauges are very nice looking. I still think the dash shape (with the weird ridges) is strange, but if the interior quality/style has improved, that's what matters I suppose. The wheels on the SE are crazy looking and I actually like them, but they just look odd on this car.

well, i have been speaking highly of the '12 camry, but it is far from a great work of art. i merely think they were very smart to play it safe. a radical change, like what they can "afford" to do with the slower (but still impressive) selling avalon could have been too great a risk for the much hyped and loved "camry" as the #1 selling vehicle. you can only improve upon the classic "refrigerator" or "dishwasher" in so many ways. camry owners probably do not like major changes.

honda played it "too safe" with the 2012 honda civic sedan. in Si trim, it looks fantastic. the civic coupe looks far nicer in higher level trims (especially the Si edition), though, imo. there is a fine line to either cross or not cross. toyota made the right move, i think.
