... the platform's and the engines generally have 10 yr lives. 92-01 vehicles were about the same size 02-11 vehicles will all be about the same size However with the lukewarm reception to the Accord's size increase ( almost Avalon ) I wonder if Toyota will grow the Camry any further. I hope not. 2.2L I4 ran from 92 to 01 3.0L V6 ran from ?? to 06 ( the 3.3L was a modified 3.0L ) 2.4L I4 should run from 02 to 11 3.5L V6 should run from 07 to 16 These would be the SOP runs. The Venza with the 2.7L will be out as an 09 but I'd guess the Camry keeps the 2.4L through MY 2011. It makes the Venza that much more attractive. It sets it apart. Valvematic additions across the board are likely additions in all models at that time frame. Then there's the THS 3 options.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Apr 04, 2008 3:25 pm) People thought they wouldn't put the 3.5 in the Camry since the competition was only using 3 liter engines and so the Avalon could be further differentiated, but they were surprised when that engine did appear in the 2007 Camry. |

| about the size of the Camry and the size of the Accord? The Camry has gotten bigger and bigger every 10 yrs ever since it came out. Its due to get bigger again with the next Gen. | |

Replying to: motownusa (Apr 05, 2008 4:35 am) I agree about the size. I think it's as big as it should get especially since the Avalon is already larger. It's due for something significant but just what I can't imagine other than the 2.7L and a sheetmetal overhaul.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Apr 05, 2008 5:33 am) That could give better performance without hurting fuel economy. Maybe it would even add an mpg or 2. It might be a bit much of a change for the 2010 MMC, but not impossible. I would definitely expect this by the 2012 fully redesigned Camry though. |

One thing they should do is update the interior with better quality. At this point the 2008 Accord and 2009 Sonata have interiors that seem to be better quality. The Malibu has a some cheap interior parts, but is still overall slightly nicer quality in the interior than the current Camry. If they did an upgrade in quality on 2010s similar to you Hyundai upgraded the 09's interiors, that would make the Camry a bit more attractive even with few "new" features for 2010. They need to spend a bit more care making sure trim pieces fit together properly and are padded to prevent rattles. |

Ideally, I'd like to see the following for the 2010 model. Most of these changes are reasonably easy to implement (except perhaps for 2.7L engine and C pillar blind spot). Of course, keeping cost down will be an issue. - Leave the 2.4L in the 4cyl models (except SE 4cyl) and improve gas mileage (instead of bumping up hp/torque) - 4 cyl SE: use the larger engine 2.7L engine - 4 cyl LE: make alloy rims standard - 4/6 cyl SE - make sun/moonroof + spoiler standard - 6 cyl - improve gas mileage (instead of bumping up hp/torque) - Interiors: change the ugly plastic "silver" to stainless steel or aluminum or similar - Please Please Please fix the blind spot caused by the passenger side rear C pillar! - LED brake lights for all models - Keyless ignition on all models - VSC on all models
