2007 Toyota Camry XLE Road Test

With Korean auto manufacturers, Hyundai and Kia, dispatching an array of impressive sedans to North America, re-tooling the Camry was critical if Toyota intended to maintain their supremacy in the mid-size sedan market. The all-new 2007 Camry is the sixth generation of Toyota's highly acclaimed moderately priced sedan. In this version, Toyota has tried to shake the vanilla milquetoast image of the ultra-reliable 4-door by drafting sportier lines and upping the under-hood V6 ante. What hasn't changed to any significant degree is the vehicle's size and pricing structure. Also, it remains front-wheel-driven while offering either a four or six cylinder powerplant depending on trim level. This week's tester is a top-of-the-line XLE, powered by the six-cylinder mill.
