You are in the Toyota Camry Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens

Lots of folks are comparing these two vehicles in many places in the Forums. Has the new Camry stepped up beyond its previous class? Has it graduated to a league which includes the "Entry-Level Luxury" sedans? How does it compare with the TL specifically? Let us know what you think!

Replying to: fsowirles (Apr 17, 2006 6:54 am) We'll never know the stats but my guess is that well under 10% of potential TL buyers will seriously consider a Camry and even fewer Camry buyers are considering a TL. But I'm sure this will be a lively discussion. |

I agree that it isn't a large percentage, but definitely something one should take into account if the TL satisfies your automotive desires. |

Replying to: fsowirles (Apr 17, 2006 7:32 am) I started out with a 94 Camry then I stepped up to a 99 Mazda Millennia and right now I have the 03 TLS. I am looking to move into Lexus GS 350 when it comes out, the GS 300 does not have the punch I am looking for. I saw the Camry last Saturday at the NYC Auto show and I actually liked it, but the "keeping up with the Jones" in me will not go for the Camry. |

Replying to: billyperks1 (Apr 17, 2006 8:45 am) I am thrilled with my Camry, even though I can afford a Mercedes I chose to be thrifty and I am proud of it. I don't even feel that I have moved down: more of a sideways move. The car is smooth, quiet, very powerful and well made. I did look at the Acuras, and Infinitis, BMW and Mercedes. Everything I like costs $50k and up. Got to thinking that nobody really sees me in the car, I am very comfortable driving the Camry, so why not? Camry has the room and power of the E class, or 5 series BMW, and all I do is drive highway. Why spend twice as much? Camry has got me 31 mpg. And it moves.

Replying to: faldoc (Apr 17, 2006 12:21 pm) Bottom line is, if one enjoy driving and would like a luxury FWD vehicle, TL is the way to go. TL’s performance numbers are in the same league with smaller RWD G35 and IS, I doubt Camry is even close.

I had the opportunity to test drive the SE V6 the other day. Thought it was fine, less firm than TL which may be a plus on poor roads. Interior is nice, 6 speed auto, 268 HP and mp3 aux beat TL. Nav looks same. TL has better "cockpit feel". I'd buy the SE if you could get it for $500 or so over Invoice, say $27,000, but MSRP was close to $30k, and they allotments are few so the dealer has leverage on price. 2 month wait for an order.
