#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.

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.

#73 of 5260 2007 Camry - When will it be Available by tuffy Apr 20, 2005 (9:50 am)
Any information yet on when the 2007 Camry will be forthcoming? I am in the market now as I just sold my 1999 Camry. I like the 2005 model and am also considering a new Avalon, however, I would hate to purchase a 2005 Camry just to have the newly restyled version come out in only 7 months.   Also, any word or pictures on what the 2007 Camry will look like and what features it might have available? Hopefully, it will be larger, still provide a great smooth 4 cylinder with even better gas mileage, and have more safety features likes VSC and knee air bags available on the 4 cylinder model in all parts of the country. I know, given toyota's marketing strategy, all the things we want will never be available in one area.   Also, why doesn't Toyota drop those terribly cheap Bridgestone Potenza tires and put something on that has a much higher mileage rating? Makes no sense to build one of the best more reliable vehicles in the world and then put cheaper tires on it when other options that are reasonably prices are available.

Replying to: treynard (Apr 06, 2005 1:45 pm) Any body know any more about the rollout date of the 2007 Camry or any early pictures. What dealer told you about the early date for the 2007 Camry as I would like to talk with them.   Thanks!

Replying to: tuffy (Apr 20, 2005 9:50 am) Putting a set of cheaper tires is just a way for them to cut cost. As we can tell, the price between a good set of tires can cost few hundreds dollar more. Just like the 97-01 Camry, ABS was a standard feature across all LE. But I think since 02, it's either a option or part of a package in order to get ABS. The idea of selecting package is the way they make up the profile. Seriously, how many people will really buy a barebone LE out of the dealership.   Toyota has a 10 yr cost reduction plan since 6-7 years ago (I read it from a newspaper while they were talking about troubles GM is having).

Replying to: loucapri (Apr 20, 2005 10:24 am) Actually, ABS was standard on Camry LE from 97-99. It became an option for 2000 and 2001, and remained that way on the LE until this model year, 2005, where ABS is again standard on ALL Camrys, including the 'Standard' model.   ~alpha
#77 of 5260 2006/07 Camry Hybrid by jomabu1 Apr 20, 2005 (11:29 pm)
Visited my Toyota dealer and he said that they were expecting 20% of the Camry production to be hybrid models. Has anyone else heard the same? Was also told that they were expecting them in January. The dealer had also started a waiting list. Replies to this message: alpha01 (Apr 21, 2005 6:59 am) jomabu1 (Apr 21, 2005 10:46 pm)

Replying to: jomabu1 (Apr 20, 2005 11:29 pm) That date, January, has been thrown around fairly often lately in regards to the Camry redesign. Personally, that strikes me as very early, as the current model was introduced in August of 2001 as a 2002 model. However, this is not unprecedented- Toyota ran a short cycle with the previous generation Corolla (they issued 5 model years, from 98-02, but the 02 model year was short and the 2003 Corolla debuted in February of 2002).   I'd be VERY surprised if Toyota a) not only had a redesign in Jan 06 but b) had a hybrid model at the time, with capacity to meet 20% of sales.   (20% of sales at the current yearly volume hovering around 385K units would be 77,000 units).   ~alpha Replies to this message: jomabu1 (Apr 21, 2005 10:46 pm)

Replying to: alpha01 (Apr 21, 2005 6:59 am) I thought 20% of sales was over the top as an estimate. I do think 77,000 units is doable just not in the first year. Wasn't Prius production increased by 50% recently? Speaking of Prius he (the salesman) said that they would be selling for invoice later this year and that production will catch with demand.   Wasn't the 01 remodel just a refresh? Also a new 06 model would come the 4 year mark which is about on schedule.
