the global version is always nicer for both the Honda and Toyota. US version is always the 'cheaper' looking version, no chrome or anything, just plastic all over. Sad, but what can I say, we are paying like 20K for it while others are paying 3 times more. Can't complain bout that!!!

That's beside the point. The poit is "ITS STILL HORRIBLE LOOKING." Not much of an improvement over the current or future American Model (both of which are beginning to attact 50 and 60 somethings). Toyota is losing the a lot of prestige.

Ah Toyota/Lexus and their love for 7digits LCDs... I guess they get great price from old stocks for these. Also the steering wheel seems like starwars weapon on the left side :) It's still a toyota interior, wood looks dated... and vents are well cheap. Doesnt change much from the US market one from a European point of view. (Won't see it much on our roads) Will this replace the Avensis ?

Agree with the LCD... the steering wheel looks like a PS remote IMO. and ashtray on the side armrest... really?

That was quite common, especially on Japanese cars. in the 1980s.

Seems that some "traditions", such as the digital clock, will never die. I just wonder if they ever even manage to integrate it with the cars other clocks... Overall the car looks pretty nice though.

I'm realy amazed from these photos. When I saw the US version I thought all Camreys will look like that but this one is realy nice and also well equiped. The interior is better looking than the Accord or Altima and even the Sonata. The only thing I hate in this car is the steering wheel.

As usual the American version SUCKS!!! Some car companies think American car buyers have no taste in terms of design.

I actually prefer USDM Camry over the international version though.

I'm with Jerry on that, however, I think Toyota should apply Ford's strategy for the global market, because so far the "One Ford" program was pretty successful.

@Renegade, the Fiesta didn't quite make the "One Ford" philosophy because they had to engineer a completely new nose and headlamp housing to meet NHTSA safety standards. But the new Focus was designed with the US market in mind, and that's why the US version looks almost exactly the same as the European version.

wooow big difference. looks like Lexus ES. way much better than the previous pictures.

The Lexus ES should be killed, it's an insult to the perfection of the LS400, the car that made the W140 S-class arrive late and over budget and got it's chief engineer fired, or to the character of the SC400, and for sure it's an insult to the magical aura of the LF-A. Lexus should offer the GS with a 4 cylinder as an entry level, instead of the ES, they also have the IS, so why the hell are they still selling that awful, FWD, ES?

More refined my ass, this looks like a face lifted version of the current one, with more tacky chrome on it, and that interior, come on, that wood(imitation?) looks like it came out of a mid 90's car. At least the American version has some bits of sportiness, this one has none.

I prefer the front and rear-end styling of this "Global" Camry; has more of a Lexus LS 460 hint to it. I also prefer the design of the Japanese market Corolla Axio to the US Corolla.

you are right about the Global Camry, it is better than our US version, BUT i think you went a little too far, that corolla axio is WORSE than the US version, surprisingly

nope, both are boring, but the US version is better this time... that doesn't say much though, because it's still just a big sofa on wheels

Nope, this one looks to much like the Avalon, would confuse old people.

Shades of new GS Lexus about this Global Camry. Neat touches also inside, where most drivers spend time! European standards are much higher than Stateside hence the spec differences.

I think they will rebadge this in the US as the avalon or the new ES lexas. the honda arrord in europe is rebadged here as the acura TL

The honda accord in Europe is a rebadged Acura TSX, NOT TL, the TL was designed in California and assembled in Marysville, Ohio. the TSX is in fact, made in Japan, sold as the TSX here in the states, and as the Accord in Europe.

yes ur right, i made a mistake the TSX is the euro accord. I dont know why i was thinking TL.

In The Middle-east we have both the US camry ,comes with 4 cylinder only, and The Aurion, comes only as a v6, which is a face lifted version Australian made camry.. I'm guessing this will be the next Aurion.. dont know :P toyotas here sell like crazy ! so we have most of the international line ups and combination to choose from except the avenisis is missing

Compare this $20,000 interior to a $20,000 GM interior and you can see how much the UAW must be paid. I just purchases a $32,000 Acura RDX which include leather interior, xenon headlights and voice activated navigation

The US Camry is a volume seller, in Europe they use cars like the Renault Twingo and the Smart as a volume sellers. The manufactures will build differently to meet these needs.

Just another well engineered vehicle from Toyota that fails to stir the soul. I just looked up dull and boring in the dictionary, and the definition was a picture of a Camry.
