    Default Am I getting old? I looked at a Camry...thoughts?

    I have always thought of the Camry as an old man's car, but while checking out the new Accord 2.0t sport I happened by the Toyota dealer and something caught my eye. The new Camry XSE V6, it had the white pearl paint, black roof and red interior. Am I alone in thinking the XSE is a really sharp car?

    I've wanted to try the 2.0t accord since I heard you get the 6speed manual, and it's a quick car, but the Camry actually surprised me, never thought I'd say that..Name:  2018-toyota-camry-inline3-photo-674537-s-original.jpg

    All these cars are solid. Not old, simply practical.

    It is the best-looking Camry I've ever seen, I'll give you that.

    Do they come with park sensors now to eliminate the Camry bumper dent problem?

    I actually don't mind the styling of these cars as the white looks good with the black contrast. It's a reliable competent car that looks decent so I can see the appeal. I'm just not ready to succumb to a car like this. Maybe in 20 years.

    I was actually quite surprised by the looks of the new Camry. The one with the quad exhaust. It's a gorgeous looking car and makes me almost want to own a Camry. Haha.

    Too bad that a Camry 6-6 isn't available. That would fill the recent gap in the market. I agree that those are sharp looking cars. Much more visually appealing than the 10th gen Accords. But the Camry name has to go. Camry just makes me think of my late grandmother and her penchant for champagne toyota sedans, bridge and brunch sundays. Nothing sporty about the Camry name.

    Completely agree, the name could have been changed. I can't imagine your typical Camry buyer would look at this model, but its nice to see Toyota making the car less vanilla, and they did a bang up job. You are right about the transmission, I like that they kept a V6 option, but wish you could get a manual, even if it was just am option on the XSE V6.

    It looks great.

    But I bet it still drives like a Camry (i.e. like a shopping cart crossed with a sofa).

    There is a 2020 TRD version that will probably pretty sporty. As sporty as a FWD family sedan could be.

    Toyota has made a promise to stop building boring cars. I think this new Camry is an attempt at that. It does look quite a bit sharper, but if I had to choose it would be Accord hands down personally. Camry probably gets slightly better fuel mileage just going by history.

    Just looked at the pics of the TRD, wow, hopefully it looks like that when it hits the floor. I would drive one, maybe minus the rear wing

    Old? Fuck, most of you aren't even middle aged yet. My parent's are old but they are in their mid-80's.

    Shit, the next thing y'all will be debating is the best brand of prune juice.
    Will fuck off, again.

    The re-design is pretty sharp. I'd consider one. 301 HP and 8 speed trans. Already beats my Q50

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
