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 Steering..? Oh my...... by samnoe

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.

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.

Auto manufacturers are doing everything possible to improve FE.
 
Electric power stearing will be only one of those.
 
I would have advised a variable displacement ATF pump within the transaxle to supply pressure for both functions.
 
The newest Porsche 911 engine uses an electric pump for engine internal lubrication to avoid the HUGE level of overpumping with a standard gear type pump at high engine RPM, 20HP gain...(?).

If you are really concerned with handling, I suggest you to pick up a 2009 as soon as possible.
 
If you are really concerned with handling, I suggest looking at other vehicles besides Toyota. I don't drive sports cars, but rather 4-door midsizers, but the Toyota's combo of a brake pedal with all the confidence-inspiring feel of mirangue and uncommunicative truck-like steering makes for a very unsecure feeling when maneuvering, to me. Even the SE suffers from numbness.
 
I'm not expecting it, but I'm hopeful that this is improved for 2010.

Anyone really concerned with handling would NEVER consider a FWD or F/AWD vehicle.

There you go again, as Ronald Reagan would have said.
 
Oh the horror of front-wheel drive!

Those of us who don't race on track-days but still appreciate the benefits of the front-drive vehicles offered in the marketplace will certainly consider vehicles with good handling. The Camry just isn't one of those.
 
What are you doing here in a Camry forum, anyway? Shouldn't you be out powersliding somewhere?
