There is enough difference between the new and old Camry to make a difference. The weight and wheelbase are both different which means the weight distribution will most likely have changed, this alone can make differences to a cars steering/handling characterstics. Also, the Sportivo has a sports suspension package. As I said before I don't know how much difference it makes but from past experience of driving what is otherwise the same car with and without suspension upgrades I know that it can make it handle like an entirely different car. As such you would really have to experience it to make any judgement on the cars handling. On the note of power down and the power characteristics of the 1MZ-FE. The Sportivo has the motor producing and extra 4 kW and 5 nM. I must admit that I didn't think this was particularly impressive for a 'sports' model. However, the peak power doesn't tell the full story. I don't know how they got the extra power and what that's done to the rest of the power curve. Like you said, it's below 4000 rpm that the motor seams lacking, so if the performance gain is better down there then the motor could be changed from a sensible and easier to drive family sedan motor to something more sporting and fun. I know it won't be a true sports car but people buying a Camry know they are buying a family sedan and getting the Sportivo just means a sportier version of it and on that note I think I would have to drive the base model and Sportivo to see how deserving it is of the Sportivo tag.
