A new aluminum block Vâ€"6 engine is now being offered throughout the Camry lineâ€"up that boasts 188 hp and weighs 60 lbs less than its predecessor. This does not make the Camry heartâ€"stoppingly quick but it does make it the fastest in its class. The base engine is a 2.2 litre that generates 125 hp and has an exceptionally smooth feel for a fourâ€"cylinder.

This is true but I‘m happy to report that the ES 300 is not a marketing scam by Toyota but contains enough of a difference in luxury handling and performance to justify the price. This in no way takes away from the Camry which comes pretty close in most respects for a lot less money. The Camry has a very nice feel on the highway. The steerâ€" ing is not too light and the ride is comfortable without feelâ€" ing loose. It will stay relatively flat in a corner but if you push it, there‘s a tendency to oversteer. The Camry coupe‘s interior is well laid out in sensible Toyâ€" ota fashion. The overall look to the dash is clean but disapâ€" pointingly boring and not unlike what I would expect to find in a Ford Tempo.
