Test drove the 2012 Camry
This is from the Lexus forums, which shows 'many' great pictures of the new TCH and driving the LE Camry.

Re: Test drove the 2012 Camry
I sat in one yesterday at the dealer while I was getting an alignment done.
I have to say that I like the way it looks and I like how they fixed some of the stupid things that were wrong with the previous interior.
There are some subtleties that I also like. For example the hood actually looks flat and like it belongs on the car. I cannot stand all the humps and bends in mine. I also like the little chrome strip they put on the rocker panel. Lots of little styling ques that really add up to make it a much more attractive car IMO.

Re: Test drove the 2012 Camry
ha-ha. this totally reminds me of TopGear show I watched last week. James brought to everyone's attention simple fact. Two models of the same VW, one has chrome bumper inserts, and one is straight black bumper.
one with straight black bumper sells FOR 3 000 LESS than one with chrome inserts.

Re: Test drove the 2012 Camry
I agree with Ukrkoz, lol!
In fact, I was surprised how little difference there is between the 09 and the 12 (I was actually hoping for a big improvement!).
To me, the V6 XLE has the best ride out of the various models, probably because of the extra weight of the V6 (I am guessing). I find my 09 has a more solid feel on the road than the 12. But just to be clear, I like the 12 and it drives really nicely too!
