I don't care for the tail lights (too big), but I like the slightly revised front and the optional 3 spoke steering wheel. I actually like the styling of the Camry. It's "boring", but a lot more elegant looking than the previous generation ever was. I'd actually venture to say that the Camry is no more boring styling-wise than the Passat. :p

Seems to be just as plain and inoffensive as the 2002-2004 versions. But bland (though purposeful) styling inside and out has always been a successful strategy for the Camry, and I'm sure it will have no problem garnering the title of "best selling car in the U.S." in 2005, as it has in previous years.

The NAV is nice. Helluva lot better than trying to read that 1x2" rectangle on the Audi's (except for the A8L w/ the popup thing, that's still a pain in the ass to read since its so far away).

I'm sure it will go 200,000 miles without ever opeing the hood (other than opil changes)...but those would be the most boring 200,000 miles of your life...but it would be perfect for the non-enthusiast crowd...

the taillights look a little like the new Legacy.
it's a decent car -- sure beats the Taurus, Malibu, Grand Prix, Altima and XG300.

I agree with Nick, it's like vanilla ice cream, but good vanilla.
