Replying to: kdhspyder (Apr 04, 2008 3:25 pm) People thought they wouldn't put the 3.5 in the Camry since the competition was only using 3 liter engines and so the Avalon could be further differentiated, but they were surprised when that engine did appear in the 2007 Camry. |

| about the size of the Camry and the size of the Accord? The Camry has gotten bigger and bigger every 10 yrs ever since it came out. Its due to get bigger again with the next Gen. | |

Replying to: motownusa (Apr 05, 2008 4:35 am) I agree about the size. I think it's as big as it should get especially since the Avalon is already larger. It's due for something significant but just what I can't imagine other than the 2.7L and a sheetmetal overhaul.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Apr 05, 2008 5:33 am) That could give better performance without hurting fuel economy. Maybe it would even add an mpg or 2. It might be a bit much of a change for the 2010 MMC, but not impossible. I would definitely expect this by the 2012 fully redesigned Camry though. |

One thing they should do is update the interior with better quality. At this point the 2008 Accord and 2009 Sonata have interiors that seem to be better quality. The Malibu has a some cheap interior parts, but is still overall slightly nicer quality in the interior than the current Camry. If they did an upgrade in quality on 2010s similar to you Hyundai upgraded the 09's interiors, that would make the Camry a bit more attractive even with few "new" features for 2010. They need to spend a bit more care making sure trim pieces fit together properly and are padded to prevent rattles. |

Ideally, I'd like to see the following for the 2010 model. Most of these changes are reasonably easy to implement (except perhaps for 2.7L engine and C pillar blind spot). Of course, keeping cost down will be an issue. - Leave the 2.4L in the 4cyl models (except SE 4cyl) and improve gas mileage (instead of bumping up hp/torque) - 4 cyl SE: use the larger engine 2.7L engine - 4 cyl LE: make alloy rims standard - 4/6 cyl SE - make sun/moonroof + spoiler standard - 6 cyl - improve gas mileage (instead of bumping up hp/torque) - Interiors: change the ugly plastic "silver" to stainless steel or aluminum or similar - Please Please Please fix the blind spot caused by the passenger side rear C pillar! - LED brake lights for all models - Keyless ignition on all models - VSC on all models

Replying to: saidiadude (May 23, 2008 8:45 am) I would really like to see interior quality improved. *More cupholders even the new Corolla has eight now including door pockets. *Silver color interior to be changed to a darker silver with more detail such as aluminum. (The Accord in other countries has the matte black steel look which I think looks appealing.) *Perhaps a little 2.5 inch screen displaying rearview when backing out. (New Highlander and future facelifted Tacoma have it.) *LED tailights I noticed just about every facelift from Toyota now includes LED tailights. *Get rid of those nasty seatback plastic pockets that just screams GM cheapness!!! My old 06 Camry had nice cloth seatback pockets. *Active front headrests the Camry would be rated above the Accord for safety if it only had this useful safety feature. *Better seat fabrics in the CE and LE something more modern and appealing looking. I like that fraichir material in the XLE but I guess that's too expensive to produce. *XLE V6 with cloth should be reintroduced not many people like leather. And i'm sure itll sell well with that fraichir material. |

Smart key available on more models including the SE Two new colors, a green and a tan/beige New wheel designs XM radio standard on JBL sound systems. Active Headrests standard. Production to begin in Feb 09 |
