In actuality, an old CRX, Civic or Del Sol could be cheaply modded to
attain more horsepower, faster acceleration, better gas milage and better
handling characteristics for tens of thousands less than a 2007 Camry.
And if you're a sucker for sound, dynamat isn't that expensive. And the
way the Camry "looks" is subject to each individual driver's opinion. IMO
it's ugly. And I don't see your Camry taking on my Hayabusa any time soon
in _any_ aspect.

I wanted to see how Toyota dropped the Avalon 3.5 liter V6 into the
all-new 2007 Camry. The horsepower is down a notch, but the Cary
probably is making do with regular gas, unlike the Avalon.
The bigger news is how elegant the Camry looks -- it's a cross between
the G35 and the TL. Could just as easily have been called a Lexus.
A few photos are on the toyota.com website. The official roll-out is
in March.
Honda engineers must be frantic. I hate to say it, but the new Camry
somehow makes my '04 Accord look dowdy.
