#63 of 5260 Next generation Camry will likely get a 3.5L V6 by motownusa Mar 15, 2005 (10:13 am)
http://www.auto123.com/en/info/news/roadtest,view,Toyota.spy?artid=37606   This bodes well for the next-generation Camry, however, as it is slated to be built on a variation of the new Avalon's chassis architecture, and from what I've been told, feature a version of the powerful new 3.5-litre V6 in its top trim level   The article is an Avalon review for a Canadian magazine. It mentions that the next generation Camry will be based on the 05 Avalon platform and will likely get the 3.5 L v6 from the Avalon.   That would be awesome. Although I am sure it probably will be detuned to produce 20 less hp. Looks like the 3.3L engine will be history by the time the next generation Camry arrives.

But why build an all new 3.0 V6 if they won't use it in camry?? 245 hp seems enough for this car and it would differenciate the Avalon and Camry even more, having 2 different engines!! Replies to this message: motownusa (Mar 15, 2005 5:48 pm)

I think the 3.0L engine probably won't last more than two model years. Isn't Lexus working on a GS 350 ?

Lexus already has a GS350, just not ready for anywhere outside Japan at the moment. Apparently they are tweaking it so it will pass tough emission requirements.

ever be available with the V6? I know some manufacturers, like Mazda, Nissan and Infiniti, offer mid-size sedans with a V6 and manual transmission combo. Why not Toyota? Replies to this message: alpha01 (Apr 06, 2005 6:29 am)

Replying to: kronogoose (Apr 05, 2005 9:00 pm) Because they did offer a Manual tranny and V6 in the 1993-1996 Camry SE and in the 97-98 CE and 99-01 LE, and few were sold.   ~alpha
#70 of 5260 2007 roll-out date by treynard Apr 06, 2005 (1:45 pm)
A Toyota salesman told me recently that the all-new 2007 Camry will be out in early 2006, perhaps January. The 2006 model year would last only a few months. Anybody else heard something like this? Any spy photos or concept drawings in the automotive media?   I've looked at the new '05 Avalon. It is nice, but I'm a bit surprised they didn't badge it as an '06 model. That would seem to make more sense. Some of the folks on the Avalon board say they might postpone buying until the '06 model is available, presumeably in 5 months or so. The new Avalon seems to be selling very nicely; especially the Limited trim level, which appears to be in short supply. I've driven the new Avalon, and there is some torque pull that's obvious when you accelerate rapidly. I think 280 hp would be too much for the smaller Camry, but many are suggesting a variant of this motor might be used.   I've shopped for an Avalon, but I really don't need this big a boat. That's why I'm wondering if it's wise to wait a bit to see what the new Camry will be like. Any images or links to images would be appreciated.

#71 of 5260 New Camry by chris65amg Apr 13, 2005 (1:05 pm)
Toyota keeps its secrets pretty well, sadly. I'm pretty sure that the new Camry will be better than the current. And if it has the 3.5L, the top trim levels will be quite a match for Nissan, Honda, etc.

Replying to: treynard (Apr 06, 2005 1:45 pm) The timing you mention has elements of truth.
