The 2010 RX350 still uses the same firmware fix for the transaxle downshift hesitation as began to be used back in the 2008 models.

I have a qualifying "Cash For Clunkers" 16 MPG SUV and I would like to take advantage of the situation and buy a V6 car. The Fusion V6 doesn't qualify for the program at 21 MPG combined and, to the best of my knowledge, there is no other V6 domestic that qualifies. "Clunkers" is heavily slanted toward SUV's and cars with I4 engines.
 
My other choices are the Altima 3.5 V6 (not a real choice since most Nissan dealers don't carry it) and the Honda Accord V6 (its seats are VERY uncomfortable). Other possible selections are in the luxury and sport category, such as the BMW328i and the Lexus IS250 and those vehicles are way beyond my budget.
 
Hopefully somebody will be able to reply to my original question about whether the Camry V6 has an acceleration hesitation problem. As nice as the car is, this potential problem is definitely a deal breaker.

According to the NCF, New Car Features for the 2010 Camry at techinfo.toyota.com the transaxle shift control ECU is still using the rate at which the driver releases the gas pedal to determine if an immediate or delayed upshift is appropriate.
 
So the quickly following 1-2 second downshift delay/hesitation remains embedded in the 2010 Camry.

I take your statement to mean that this design characteristic could be considered to be a latent defect depending on how it manifests itself with a particular driver's driving style and that it's impossible to predict in advance whether it will be a problem. This is too bad, because otherwise the Camry SE V6 is a sweet ride. Thanks for looking it up.

You should drive the vehicle, and determine if it performs to your desires and needs or not. An internet board will give you every possible opinion that exists. I don't think you'll find an overwhelming conclusive opinion that there is any significant problem.
 
Drive it yourself.
 
Personally, I've concluded that the I-4 (even the older 2007 version) is more than adequate for our needs, and the last 3 years under many different driving conditions (and drivers) has held that to be true. But here again, some say they have to have the power of the V-6. I've driven both, I-4 is perfect for us. Drive them both and come to your own conclusions.

Yes, even if you "learn" to properly release the gas pedal in accordance with your near future actions, planned actions, there will undoubtedly be times wherein you cannot "forecast" the need for a quick return to acceleration.
 
It seems strange that Toyota is still sticking with a known design flaw after 10 years knowing that alternative solutions, relatively simple solutions, are being used successfully.

Need to replace my aging 1999 Camry LE V6 with either 2010 Camry XLE or 2009 Avalon base model.

I haven't had a chance to drive a 2010 Camry SE V6 yet but I did drive a 2009 SE V6 and it seemed to take an eternity for it to respond to the accelerator pedal. The 1 ~ 2 second delay is unacceptable as it defeats the purpose of buying a mid-sized car with a big engine. My desire is virtually instantaneous response like the Nissan Altima 3.5 SE or the new Nissan Maxima, the 2009 SE V6 test drive car didn't deliver.

What would you recommend as an alternative mid-sized car with a V6 engine? Thanks again for replies.
