2007 Toyota Camry Unveiled

Linked below is thecarconnection.com's preview of the redesigned 2007 Toyota Camry, which was unveiled this week at the Detroit Auto Show.

There's really not too much surprising here. It's not surprising that Toyota isn't standing still and waiting for other companies to come in and take the mantle of best-selling car from the tried-and-true Camry. The styling is part out-going Camry, part current Hyundai Sonata, and part Ford Fusion. Overall, it's not as boring as the outgoing car.

The Camry's top engine might be a little surprising, at least if you step on the accelerator not knowing what's under the hood. It's a 268 hp. 3.5 liter V-6 lifted from the recently revised Avalon. It seems like just yesterday that Nissan shook up the class by offering a way-overpowered 240 hp. Altima. Now that engine wouldn't even make it the top five.

As predicted, Toyota announced a hybrid version of the 4-cylinder that will be available later this year. Predicted MPG for the hybrid is 43city/37highway. This is compared to the standard 4-cylinder (158 hp) at 24/34.
