I was looking around at the site of the dealer I purchased my TCH from - and looked at their inventory. They had a listing for a couple of TCH with the 2.5. The interesting thing is that the EPA ratings went from 33/34 to 31/35. No note on power output, and the Toyota site shows nothing about the 2.5.
The inventory link is http://www.arlingtontoyota.com/Camry...Inventory.aspx , the 2 2.5's are on the second page. The engine descriptions is:
<<<
Mechanical
Electric Power Steering (EPS) - Hybrid Synergy Drive - ENGINE W/ PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR - 16" STEEL WHEELS W/ COVERS - PWR-ASSISTED FR DISC/SOLID RR DISC - Temporary spare tire - ELECTRONIC CONTINUOUS VAR TRAN (ECVT) - 2.5L 4-CYL DOHC 16V W/ DUAL VVT-I - WITH INTEGRATED REGENERATIVE BRAKING - & P215/60R16 TIRES

>>>


What's up with that? Mess-up at the dealer site, or a 'silent re-power' and change to the 2.5?

 

Seems both cars listed with 2.5 L engine are 2011 models, all others are 2010, could be they tweaked the engine a little for 2011. Not sure what dual vvt could mean, is it vvt adjusts intake valves only and dual vvt adjusts both, intake and exhaust? It doesn't seem like a typo, since it would be difficult to mistype 2.4 into 2.5 and add dual vvt, all in the same sentence simply by mistake, unless they received wrong info from Toyota.
