Looks like you were pretty lucky in minimizing the damage. A new hood and bumper cover + a few minor items should do it.
I hit a deer with my '97 Camry in early 1998. The deer basically plopped on the hood, and then rolled off the right side. So my damage was similar to yours, except that evidently one hoof put a dent in the right fender.
Its head hit the windshield, but the glass survived intact.

We have an XLE (aloe green) due in in two weeks and are having the color-keyed moulding installed as well as matching mud guards. Also adding the the rear bumber protection. Insisted that the dealer not place their slogan on the car. We have a 350Z with no side moulding and, even being overly cautious, had to have a paintless dent removal wizzard do his magic.

And you will still need paintless dent removal even with the molding since the moldings only protect the strip they cover, not above or below.

I wonder if the front upright styling is due to European pedestrian impact requirements? It certainly helped you out, I think, reducing the resulting damage. I just recently helped a woman in a mid nineties Accord who had struck a full size doe. The animal nicked the bumper, missed the lights and hood completely as it's legs were taken out from under her. The resulting impact on the drivers side windshield left a hole the size of a volleyball. It pays to have a bit taller front end I think.

Your position and opinion are the reason for so many models in the market. However the market votes with it's wallet/pocketbook and while the SS is likely to appeal to a niche GM buyer it will never draw clientele from the majority of midsize buyers.
Until otherwise proven it's main problem is that it is a Chevy and this excess baggage is difficult to unload.
Just by posting that buyers should consider a 5.3L V8 engine shows that you might be out of touch with the market. Did you miss the memo 12 years ago that the US market is looking for ultra efficient 4c midsized vehicles?
You are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole by trying to induce the midsized buyer to get into a V8! It's a common failing of the detroiters over the last 15 years as evidenced by their plummeting market shares ( see Ford memo to employees yesterday ).
The Impalla SS V8 is likely a nice vehicle. But after they sell 1200 units to the die-hards how do you fill a factory with this vehicle?

I guess that you haven't read all of the 2007 Camry posts. I also had a 2004 Toyota Camry. My 2007 is not the same car. You can't make a statement like, I had the old one and the new one must also be good. It is as different as night and day driving each of these years. Like I said " I have purchased many Toyota autos and this is the last".

Here is a small piece of feedback on the 2007 Camry. I find the bisque interior extremely attractive, far superior to the grey interior that is so common in many previous Camrys and Accords. Please manufacture more Bisque interior cars - for wider availability.
Thanks -- Tidewater.

I think the bisque interior definitely depends on the exterior color. With black, silver, or gray exterior, I would only want a gray or black interior. For red or blue, bisque may be acceptable, but I'd still prefer black or gray. Had only bisque been available, I wouldn't be driving a Camry (I only like silver and gray cars and thus black or gray interiors).
