Great review ! Beautiful car ! I have a 2022 Camry now - hmmm! thinking of upgrading....

Thank you for your videos. My XLE heavy metal with lit gray comes end of August!

Excellent Review Kirk! I think the new Camry looks great albeit coming across more of a heavy but welcome refresh than a redesign. I'm seeing them in traffic out in NM now & even my coworker who just got hers loves it. While I mourn the death of the V6 but just like the 9th gen accord, automakers are going for what sells best, and this will sell. Enthusiasts will unfortunately have to look elsewhere, espeically with this being either slower than or just as slow as the new Crown Signia.

Congratulations on the new Camry

Great review, Kirk 👍

I liked your ideas for future videos with the Camry. I hope you have enough time for all of them.

Looking really good

I purchased this car on July 2nd. Pretty damn good Toyota. I wish it had the auto-folding side mirrors like my Mazda CX5 as well as the pull down handle inside the trunk lid. These are small omissions though. I’ve always bought Mazdas new and Japanese built. There are some paint flaws I found after I brought the car home, little tiny raised areas like a grain of sand sprayed with paint. You’d think a car company would get that right after 40 years. I didn’t prefer this Reservoir blue but it was the only Camry in stock. It’s fine but I wanted heavy metal or white.

🔥 love to see it at night love all of the interior lighting super stoked to get mine in August can’t wait.

I did get the illuminated door sills that read Camry on the options list for $359

I stepped into an Uber once with foot lights in the back when the door was open. When the floor is black the foot lights are very convenient for not leaving stuff behind.

Good looking car

Sometimes you have to get mileage accumulation on the vehicle before you notice the improvement in mileage per gallon.. I rented a brand new Honda Accord sport from Avis with only 4 me on it when I got it. The mileage I achieved was only 35 to 38 and I was disappointed. But a month later I rented another new Honda Accord sport that had 12,000 mi on it, and it consistently gave me 46 to 48 mi per gallon. So obviously in Toyotas case the engine needs to get a few miles on it loosen up, before you see optimum mileage per gallon.
