We own what I can claim as the last ever built manual MCV20R. We had it kitted with a GTP/Sportivo colour coded kit, the 17" Sportivo rims and had it factory lowered. Personally the latest Camry does not look as good with a kit on it. Toyota should take a look at the Mazda 6 for a body shape clue as the Camry's rear quaters a very flat and droopy looking. Our V6 runs very well and sounds great with a better exhaust, is still quiet inside and handles extremely well. I have also contemplated and asked about an aftermarket supercharger kit for the V6 but to no-avail as yet. I beleive TRD might make one and hence my initial question about what Camry with which motor. We took the latest Corolla top spec model for a test drive before deciding on the Camry. First impression and the thing I said to the dealer when out on the road, "Gee this thing sounds tinny". The dealer assured me it had a lot of sound deadening, but I would hate to hear it without it. When the dealer explained about the you-beaut TVIS stuff whilst he drove, I watch his foot push harder on the firewall around about when the system was to kick in. Made me think "what a crock". When I drove it the engine response was no better than a tired 2T in a Celica. The latest Celica in my opinion is much the same as the Corolla, underpowered and tinny sounding but for both the Corolla and Celica any form of engine power up would be well worth while. How about a Lexus ES200 or 300? A new one for us was our "dream" car, the Camry is our close second and we are more than happy with it. Regards Rodger [Report message to a moderator]
