Better try out the ES before you lay down your cash.
 
I find it hard to believe the 2010 Camry XLE V6 is noisy. My prior generation Camrys with 4-cylinder engines are very quiet to my ears.

I forgot to ask; does anyone else think the JBL sound system in the Camry XLE sound like your in an echo chamber when listening to talk radio???
I need to know if I'm crazy or not!

I test drove a Camry XLE V6 and a Lexus ES350 back in the summertime, while the ES was noticeably quieter and had more sound insulation then the Camry XLE, the XLE was by no means loud or noisy during the test drive; you people who say the XLE is noisy need to go drive a sports car or a GM product to know what loud road/wind noise is like in the cabin
 
you really have to decide if you can afford the payments of a Lexus vs a Toyota: if money is no problem then jump on the ES350: it definitely was a little bit more quieter and the materials/fit and finish was better than in the camry, but the camry is still a really nice car for someone on a budget or who just wants a set and forget car to take them from point A to B
 
no matter how insulated a car is, even such as a Lexus product, your still going to hear a slight bit of wind/road noise when your cruising along an interstate doing 70-80mph!

The Camry is not a quiet car. I had a 2009 Hybrid, it whined, it had wind noise, and every bump reverberated through the cabin. Compared to the 2010 Fusion, it is no better than an old clunker. Try a Fusion before putting cash out on anything, you may be pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is. I have the Sport with the 3.5 V6, it has a nice growl under acceleration, but is quiet the rest of the time. The SEL is even quieter as it has more rubber on the wheels and has the 3.0 V6 that isn't sport tuned, so you barely hear the motor.
 
If you really want to be shocked at a loud noisy car, go test drive a 2007 or 08 Lexus RX400h, if you think the V6 in the Camry was loud, the Lexus was HORRIBLE! It sounded like it wanted to run in every direction except the one it was designed to.
 
Sorry all you Toyota fans, after owning 2 of them from 07 till just a few months ago, they are not that great of a car anymore.

"The Camry is not a quiet car."
 
You really should be in the Midsize forum, not here. That would be like me going on the Fusion forum and telling you how good the Camry is.
 
I will say that you are one of the few that has this opinion. What about all the reviews, which are not just one person on the net? In general, they say the Camry is one of the quietest for this class.

"...loud noisy car...RX400h.."
 
Often has a LOT to do with tires. My F/awd RX300 runs on nice and quiet, comfortably riding, summer use only, Bridgestone Turanzas throughout the year. Tire chains at the ready when/if needed.
 
A can of rubberized undercoating discharged onto each tire well liner also helps tremendously.

Bought a 2010 Camry Hybrid fully loaded after comparing to Fusion and after owning a 2008 Acura TL-S. I find the Camry remarkably quiet with an extremely smooth ride in comparison to both of those cars. The JBL sound system is excellent and compares reasonably well to the Acura. I think the interior of the camry is somewhat low rent compared to the Acura as one would suspect but worth the sacrifice as I am saving 30-45 minutes each way on my commute as I am allowed to use the HOV lanes. As someone who has owned three infiniti's and an Acura over the past 12 years, I find the Camry the most comfortable and quiet car I have owned and as slog through hours of my slow commute.

agree totally with you, I have a 2008 Base TL right now and while I love the car it definitely was not as quiet as the Camry or ES350 I test drove earlier this year; I've never read any reviews on edmunds, car and driver, motortrend, automobile mag, JD Power, US News and World Report, or consumer reports stating the camry is a loud, unrefined, noisy car; in fact most professional reviewers have made it a point to state how class leading the camry is in regards to engine refinement, isolation and quietness while in the cabin and I have to concur with their opinion after driving one; I do agree the interior quality/fit and finish of the camry is not up on par with the Acura but you would expect that since toyota is not a luxury division
 
also, a 4cyl or hybrid powertrain is always going to be louder than a V6 no matter what kind of car you have; the hybrid engines are especially loud and whinny sounding when in use and I'm not sure if that is what some of the other people were referring to

Just picked up my new 2010 Toyota Camry today and I have to say that I really love it. It is somewhat of a "family" sedan, but I really love the exterior design. I ordered it in the Magnetic Gray and it looks very sharp. I bought the 4 cylinder model with the "Touring" package. It comes with the bluetooth, power sunroof, alloy wheels, power seat, digital compass rear view mirror, sirius satellite radio, vaccum fluorescent display... I haven't read all the posts here as there are quite alot but some people were wondering about the VFD and the brightness at night. I drove it this evening and found it to be just fine. It's not too bright and I have not tried to adjust it yet. It's fine the way it is. Also, the engine is not loud at all. It has more power than last year plus comes with a six speed automatic. The extremely high quality of the 2010 Camry on the exterior and interior is VERY apparant and there is nothing to complain about at all. What more can you ask for? I am really glad to have made the decision to purchase this car and I am looking forward to many trouble free years of ownership. If anyone has any questions about the vehicle or the options which come with my package then let me know. I'll be happy to tell you guys about it in greater detail. In my opinion, Toyota makes the BEST vehicles of any manufacturer. I have owned many different brands in the past and nothing comes close.

I was referring to the engine under the hood, not the ride noise, which was OK. The ride was the only thing I could compliment it on.
