Camry's have always been known for their outstanding quality, reliability, and floaty ride. Styling isn't a strong point, but since 1982 each has always looked better than the previous generation.

For the 2010MY, Toyota has refreshed the Camry with a new and different front bumper and grille for each trim level, and larger projector beam headlights. The back end on every trim level gets new taillights that use LED's, which were only available on the Hybrid trim of this current generation.

A new 2.5L 4-cylinder engine replaces the 2.4L of the current model and produces 169 horsepower. Getting the sporty SE trim adds an additonal 21 hp because of additional powertrain tuning. Both are now available with a 6-speed automatic or shift-your-own transmission too! The 3.5L remains unchanged since most Camry buyers would never need more than 268 hp.

Not much changed on the inside. The audio system now comes with a USB port, Bluetooth, and satellite radio in addition to the current single-disc, MP3 system. All windows are now auto up/down with "jam" protection and stability control with traction control is finally standard on all models.

Toyota said it will announce pricing just before the refreshed model goes on sale in March.
