Look out Mercedes S-Class.. the all new Camry is coming soon !!...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Excuse me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

There is no way that Mercedes or any sane person will think that this mass market refrigerator on wheels is any threat to the S-Class. Camry's are for insurance salesmen and accountants. I admire Toyota for being able to manufacture something so reliable so cheaply. But as for luxury, they have no clue.

Tell that to all of the Lexus owners !!

I do tell them that :) A Lexus uses the same chassis as Toyota with many parts in common. You pay more for leather seats and the Lexus badge. A Toyota is a sensible car and well priced - i'll give them that. But it is not a luxury car, and slapping a luxury badge on it does not turn it into a luxury car.

BTW - a friend bought a new Lexus. I sat in it and told him that i'm impressed that his Toyota has such nice leather seats. He said "everyone says it's a nice Toyota ... it's not a Toyota, it's a Lexus!!". I pointed out that nobody would make the same mistake with a BMW or a Mercedes. His next car was a Mercedes.

Lexus is definately NOT a Toyota. At least not the LS one, which is a direct competitor to upmarket BMW 7s, Audi A8s and Merc S-Class. The build quality and the ride comfort are simply amazing. The new S-Class is probably better (my father owns one), but there is the new LS coming.

I'm actually thinking about getting the old, original LS400, as an early classic. IMO this is the best engineered car of the 90s.

PS. Audi (S5/Q5) owner here.

I saw one with MFR plates this past weekend cruising in Naperville IL. Many pictures of different models and colors in the wild on this dedicated forum thread. The press embargo on further details is reported to be lifted on June 21st, but according to a recent product presentation it stated that the official release is not until September 1st.

Maybe when you have the time you can go drive this White 2018 Camry SE at Toyota of Naperville and give us some feedback on this car.

THANK YOU

I've already been in touch with them and they'll contact me when they have a demo available which they expect to be in a few weeks. They mentioned that they just had a couple that were making the rounds to local dealers for their staff to checkout but they were no longer there.

Toyota must not want any feedback on this car to get out until June 21.

Maybe the 2018 Camry will start showing up at some of the Dealerships the end of June.
