Replying to: madpistol (Aug 06, 2008 5:28 pm) 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. Replies to this message: sorter (Oct 30, 2008 6:34 pm)

#72 of 122 Saw the 2.5L engine... by waltchan Oct 30, 2008 (7:09 pm)
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.

Replying to: waltchan (Oct 30, 2008 7:09 pm) 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.

#74 of 122 Anyone have a spy shot yet? by dm157 Nov 02, 2008 (9:04 am)
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.

Replying to: lucky_777 (Oct 31, 2008 5:35 am) 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.

#77 of 122 Electric Steering..? Oh my...... by samnoe Nov 04, 2008 (3:14 pm)
Replying to: waltchan (Nov 04, 2008 12:31 am) 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. Replies to this message: waltchan (Nov 06, 2008 10:56 pm) walterkoh (Nov 06, 2008 11:45 pm) samnoe (Nov 09, 2008 5:21 pm) wwest (Nov 07, 2008 9:59 am)

Replying to: samnoe (Nov 04, 2008 3:14 pm) I'm afraid that electric power steering in 2010 Camry is already final and there will not be any more modifications in the new 2.5L I4 engine. I predict when 2010 comes, Toyota Camry's rating will drop at least 5 points, making Camry's rating behind Hyundai Sonata and Chevrolet Malibu for the first time ever, and possibly Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan as well.
