Nice LED tail lamps. Besides that not much to look forward too.
The new bumper make it look even more Altis like.
Most important question here is, is this enough to fight the Accord? Not at all IMO ! Until the price comes to sub 20 lakh levels, this car will never get the success it deserves.

It also gets a new 2.5 with 169 bhp and 179 bhp in other version. The fantastic 268 bhp 3.5 V6 remains.
I hope this car is coming here fast with those new motors and here it comes up with 179 bhp format.

Where exactly did the face get lifted? Cant make out the difference.

VERY nice car, 200% dependable. Pity there are far too many of them on the roads here - you hardly notice them.

Fountainheader · 11th January 2009, 22:06

Exactly where is the facelift ? Looks like the grille is modified by 2-3%. And LED rear lights.

And steer, Unlike Dubai, we dont really see Camrys in India

Indians in India seem to be mesmerised by the 'H' badge for some strange reason, regardless of the car that wears it. Indians outside prefer the (right) T when it comes to reliable comfort.

Same question where is the facelift

?

And i agree with Steeroid the car is 200% dependable. 2 - 3 of my friends in US are driving pre-owned camary's and they have never faced a single problem in 35000 miles of driving.

And i see Camry's daily because i pass by the TOYOTA showroom daily hehe.

That's the most negligible face-lift I have ever seen. The tail-lamps seem to have gone the Aston Martin way. The car has awesome street-presence nonetheless, especially the black ones.

Cyrus43 · 11th January 2009, 23:34

Whats the Difference?? What an absolute Rip off!! Especially for its price!

vinaydas · 11th January 2009, 23:53

almost identical to the present one..
what i would love to see is the body kits widely available for the current version.
here's a pic

Forget this facelift. They need the Thai/Malaysia Camry here. It's called the Aurion in Australia and have a look at this baby's looks:

Jayabusa · 12th January 2009, 00:33

The Thai one looks too stately and the red/black one looks smashing.

m4ugr8 · 12th January 2009, 00:34

I had seen these on my Trip to Thailand, and look much much better. The On-road presence is Great
