I agree; besides the days of horsepower wars for 4-cylinder cars in particular should be passe. I'd rather have better fuel economy.
 
I never found my former '97 Camry 4 with a "measly" 133 hp inadequate for doing what had to be done (merging into freeway traffic for one). The trick is getting up to speed on the onramp BEFORE you hit the acceleration lane. (I realize this may not be possible in places with antiquated freeways like NYC, but in VA, no problem.)

Expect the 2010 Camry get all new AR series engine, 2.5L I4 179hp/173 lb-ft torque with Dual VVT-i. The hp rating is higher than both Accord LX's K24 & Nissan Altima's QR25. We should also expect the fuel economy to improve on Camry.
 
Here is a note: Despite 2007-2009 Camry current has only 2.4L 158hp, the accord LX with 177 hp has a slower 0-60 times.

With a 6 speed auto, the 2.5L should have 22/33 mpg.

Saw the 2.5L engine... by waltchan

I saw the new 2.5L engine for the upcoming 2010 Camry. It was from a 2009 RAV-4, which will be identical. The engine is about 10% smaller than the previous 2.4L, 15% lighter, and has electric power steering. Although more fuel-efficient, I would watch out with the electric power steering because the 2010 Camry probably will not handle as well as the hydraulic ones in the 2.4L, and will probably score lower by Consumer Reports in the next test rating. If you are really concerned with handling, I suggest you to pick up a 2009 as soon as possible.

Current Highlander has electric assisted steering and it works just fine. New engine, transmission, and electric steering sounds way too much for Camry midlife refresh. I don't recall Toyota making these many changes for existing models. This would be almost completely redesigned car from what is being produced now.

Does anyone have a spy shot yet of the 2010 Toyota Camry? I realize this will only be a mid cycle refresh but I think the front end (grill? lights?) is changing.

New engine and electric power steering are confirmed for 2010, but Toyota is still debating whether to continue using 5-speed automatic or 6-speed automatic.

To "seatoyotasales": Does your PowerPoint have a picture of the 2010 Toyota Camry? Or is there any other source that might?

Electric power steering can be dangerous for Camry. The Corolla with the electric steering is getting so many bad reviews, like never before for a Toyota. Yeah, I know some owners report "it's not that bad, you get used to it, etc. etc.". but why take a chance. I think it's not improving much the mileage - maybe 0.5 mpg better? So don't bother. The steering of the current cars are already behind competitors (at least in the eyes of the driving enthusiast's), and electric assisted will make it even worse. So my suggestion to Toyota, get rid of the electric steering, and get back to the regular steering with good feedback, on both, the Camry and Corolla.
 
The Corolla Still sold well due to the excellent fuel economy (best in class, according to CR), so if mileage is the main concern, it will not affect the product as much, but the Camry is more than just a top-mileage vehicle. It is the benchmark for midsize sedans. So I recommend to watch out.
 
I also hope to see in the 2010 illuminated controls for all power windows, door locks, and mirrors. And bluetooth available in ALL models.
