#39 of 5260 Re: 3.0 V6 gone? [otis12] by lexi4life Jan 09, 2005 (6:00 pm)
Replying to: otis12 (Jan 09, 2005 1:41 pm) Well since the old Avalon production stopped I don't think they're gonna keep the 3.0 in the Camry so that's probably true; when the previous Avalon was still in production, they didn't want to build the 3.0 just for the needs of the Avalon so they kept it in the Camry too, it probably lowered the costs but then it's the opposite situation: they probably won't want to build the 3.0 just for the Camry so it's just gonna disappear. But the 3.3 is also an old engine, a modified and upgraded version of the 3.0, that is put into Toyota vehicles until the 2 new V6 come (3.0, 245+ hp and 3.5, 280+ hp)

Replying to: gundagai (Jan 09, 2005 4:16 pm) You should go to a Toyota dealer on a rainy/snowy day, and ask to test drive a Camry with VSC.   Go to an empty parking lot and do tighter and tighter figure-8 left and right turns at 20-30 MPH, with the VSC feature turned OFF then ON, for comparison. VSC should be very handy on slippery, tight curves and hilly roads.   I test drove a RWD Lexus IS300 on wet pavement which skidded all over, but was unable to make the FWD ES330, which has the same engine/xmission/suspension as the Camry V6, to skid at all due to the understeering inherent in the FWD. In fact the FWD ES330 really did not like to turn!!! On slippery road it may slip in rather than skid out.   I was also unable to make a RWD Lexus GS300 to skid in tight turns at high speed at all in many attempts. The VSC never had to cut in. The car held onto the road like glue with Bridgestone Potanza RE92 all-season tires.

The next Camry is expected to be 4cylinder only. Well that's what they said about Australia anyway. Replies to this message: carman123 (Jan 21, 2005 5:25 pm) mediapusher (Nov 25, 2006 9:44 pm)

Replying to: boomsama (Jan 21, 2005 3:43 pm) There is no chance that it will be 4-cyl only in the USA.

In Australia (apparently) the only Toyota V6 Sedan will be the Avalon. Whilst the camry will only have the Camry. I guess it sort of stops overlappaing and them stealing sales from each other. Replies to this message: 210delray (Jan 22, 2005 5:06 pm)

Replying to: boomsama (Jan 21, 2005 10:52 pm) Well, have to agree with carman123, there's no way the next Camry won't have a V6 in the US. The Avalon competes in an entirely different market.

Well it is entirely possible to see the 3.5L in the IS and GS. The 4.0L (1GR) 4Runner/Tacoma V6 is in the same engine family as the 3.5L (2GR), 3.0L (3GR:IS/GS), and 2.5L (4GR) that you'll be seeing.   I doubt they'll use the 3.5L 2GR-FE in the next gen Camry. Instead, you'll probably see a Hybrid Synergy Drive V6 model similar to what will be in the RX400h/Highland Hybrid. 3.3L 3MZ-FE + HSD = 270hp and 600-700 miles to the tank. More than enough.

There is no chance whatsoever that the US will not get a V6 Camry.
#47 of 5260 The real ? is by callmedrfill Feb 20, 2005 (5:34 am)
Will the Hybrid wait for the next generation model?      Will Toyota give Honda the Hybrid midsize market for almost 2 years to itself?      I doubt it. I say it will show up for '06.      Keep in mind, one91, that the RX's power comes from three engines, including a rear motor for 4WD.      Camry won't get that set up. All engines will be up front.      DrFill

Toyota would wait. They have the Prius after all, which is classified as a Midsize car by the EPA.
